I am assuming nothing. I know about what the DoD budget is and how much the supplemental funding bills were (and all along).

One of our stealth bombers costs $2.5B - that's where the big money is being spent. Right here at home. Parking one of those bombers stateside or over there isn't very much different in cost.

In 2007, Halliburton sold off its subsidiary KBR, the largest contractor in Iraq, because it wasn't profitable enough for them. KBR had ~$3B in revenues and about $150M in profit.

Halliburton sold KBR in 2007. Halliburton officials said KBR's war contracts weren't adding much to the oil company's profits. The same year, Halliburton opened a "second headquarters" (their words) in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, to emphasize its identity as a worldwide oil services company.

Pakistan's trying to prevent their own civil war right now, and keep control over their own nuclear weapons. ISI's acceptance/care and feeding of groups like Quetta Shura Taliban and Haqqani is starting to blow up in their face, or else they'd be trying to pull the "war crimes" garbage that publicity-seeking nobodies like Malaysia push out.

Yes, indiscriminate bombings of arabs aka drone strikes, is wrong. When you kill someone you have to take responsibility for that death if they are not a terrorist.

You're the genius that wants to be in Afghanistan forever, somehow I don't think you've met a failed military campaign you're willing to criticize. You're just a central planner, you're inefficient and unneeded.

Btw, I didn't ask you to protect me nor should you have access to my money. From my perspective pointing a gun at someone and using taxation-aggression to fund your lifestyle, is violent. You are not entitled to a dime from me, nor are you doing a good job.

And face the facts, public roads are more dangerous than terrorists. You're paranoid dude simple as that.
