 In the United States we do not get paid a livable wage and have no health care. The Pentagon always has money for its so called "wars".

USA = TERRORIST

The war on terror is clearly a sham to allow endless war so USA can pick and choose which resource to try to grab next. When they are the ones creating, funding & working with & even picking the mission objectives of the terror groups, writing a narrative towards global domination attempt is all to easy.

I can't believe the world has stood by passively this long, letting USA get away with this bull.

War on terror? Please.... terrorists kill on average 0 people in USA per year.

This money & effort could be much more sensibly spent if the true objective was saving Americans lives.

Why not a war on cars? cars kill on average 1.2 million people in USA per year.

Why not a war on the tobacco industry? cigarettes kill 430,000 Americans every year.

Why not a war on aging? The solvable mix of illness we call 'aging' kills all humans worldwide, if they do not die from another cause.

The 'WAR ON TERROR' is nothing but a bald-faced lie. A manipulation to control through fear.

There was no American/NATO victory in Afghanistan.  The Canadians, who wasted their time and many lives there, have already retreated.  Thank goodness!  Meanwhile, the American Empire will continue to preach victory, but we all know that you can't believe a single word that comes from the State Department.
