$1.2 million

the british empire couldn’t do it

the soviet union couldn’t do it &

now the great big policeman of the world

is ready to finally

retreat with their tail wagging between their legs

all the way home

with the tax payers bleeding

from inside the domestic walls

paying over a million dollars a year

for each soldier in Afghanistan.

 

imagine if that 1.2 million spent on one US soldier

could be used to propel one homeless individual

or one single mother

or one recovering addict in this country

out of their dire straits---

imagine how it could have changed their lives for the

better---

imagine how our dying public education system

could have profited

from just 1.2 million,

not to mention the lot of all those soldiers

who have been fighting a “war”

that they know can’t be won.

 

as mr. hope & change is no doubt lying &

his puppet, mr. panetta is speaking about the magic number

2013, as an election stepping stone for his commander in chief,

the fact remains that “enduring presence” is going to stretch well into

2014 & possibly longer,

given that once mr. hope & change is back in the saddle,

all bets are off (as if they were ever on).

 

1,735 american soldiers dead so far…

that’s 1,735 families who have sacrificed their kids

for the war machine &

1,735 american soldiers, means 2 billion dollars that could have been spent

on keeping americans at home alive,

rather than casting them out of their homes,

stealing away their jobs &

giving their children a s****y education.
