    "We go in, we spent $3 trillion. We lose thousands and thousands of lives, and then look, what happens is we get nothing. You know, it used to be the victor belong the spoils," Trump told NBC News' Matt Lauer. "Now, there was no victor there, believe me. There was no victory. But I always said, take the oil." — Trump

    • So what is the point of the conflict in your opinion. enlighten me. he referring to how much $ was spent for nothing. obviously you are not nykeryurimon
    • my point is that he intends to not only keep occupying forces, but to pillage a nation of resources that are rightfully on their landmonospaced
    • my point is that he should not be confused with a candidate for peace and order ... his ambitions are money and greed and war, just like anyone elsemonospaced
    • omg keeps saying a vote for hillary is a vote for war, but honestly, I see nothing different from the Trump side, that's allmonospaced
    • difference is trump, clean up the war.
      H, business as usual, one problem to proceed, you need war with russia.

    • its good point on pillage, aspect. state vs corp. but doesnt answer the question what was the point of the conflict?yurimon
    • "clean up the war"fadein11
    • it appears the later of the status quo is not only pillage the mid east but also pillage the people at home as you are stuck with the bill.yurimon
    • noticed Trump did not say fund ISIS, blow up shit in order to take the oil. That is not how a business man thinks. However Trump will defend law and order.omg
    • pretty logical, to ask what are the consequences of actions and what you get out of it vs problems when he disagreed with the invasionyurimon
    • ummm, take the oil is "business" and it's war, which is "as usual." Hillary is not in favor of more occupying forces. C'mon!monospaced
    • 'that is not how a business man thinks' - and what a businessman he is... he'd be worth $8b if he just invested his daddy's money.BuddhaHat
    • Trump's net worth, reflected by his name being removed from future hotels under his control, is worth considerably less.BuddhaHat
    • I can tell you follow a lot of that mainstream garbage. That's like listening to mainstream dance thinking that's good techno house music.omg
    • BuddhaHat was a big fan of New Kids on the Block back in his day.omg
    • sorry, what "mainstream garbage" did I reference? this is based on what the candidates have actually said.monospaced
    • no, that's not at all what it's like. His name WAS going to be on these hotels, now it isn't. Because his brand is toxic.BuddhaHat
    • I'd accuse you of making a false equivalency, but I'm not sure you'd know what that is.BuddhaHat
    • mono (oxford comma) its your views ffs.yurimon
    • he risked his reputation in trying to give back to the country. he realizes it in a current speech. if he get a chance to govern we will see who is right.yurimon
    • I like the New Kids reference, omg... did you look around your bedroom, see your Donnie Wahlberg poster, and then come up with that?BuddhaHat
    • @yuri, he risked what? he didn't have a good reputation before this, and now he's pretty much ruined his brand for goodmonospaced
    • Donnie who?! LOL is that one of the dudes on New Kids on the Block?omg
    • I knew it. you were dancing in your bedroom to them while were were all at the clubs pimpin'omg
    • Who's 'were were'? is that some hip underground group I don't know about?BuddhaHat
