They start them and then forget? Americans don't forget the 10,000 + killed or injured. Or the 150,000 we killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush did it.

The Middle-East wars don't cost the internationalists and the banksters a thing.

The cost is shifted to American taxpayers, now and in the future. For those who own international corporations, the fact that the cost of such wars has to be financed by borrowing from Social Security and other sources doesn't mean a thing.

For the banksters, it is a profit opportunity.

As stated by Senator Durbin (D-Illinois), the bankers now own Congress: they "own the place."

Let's see the extent to which the Middle-East wars are mentioned at the upcoming convention.
