Ok maybe you didn't listen to retired General Wesley Clark admit about the US government's "7 Country hit list". I've been to Somalia in 1993. A quagmire of tribal warfare. No threat to the US.

I've been to Afghanistan and Iraq twice each. No threat to the US.
But me and my battle buddies pounded the crap out of these countries.

What people don't know about Afghanistan is the trillion dollar Lithium vane and the mineral rich mountains there.

What everbody does know about is one of the largest untapped oilfields (Rumallah oilfield) in Iraq.

Somalia's strategic location to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal as it's located on the Horn of Africa with it's major shipping lanes.

Again CNN posted General Clark's remarks about the 7 country hit list. The companies in the US are some of the biggest arms dealers on the planet, which results in more deaths than any one man can imagine. Russia and China are also just as big in arms sales.

I tell you what it's all about, he who controls the natural resources and money everywhere controls the world.

I believe in the people of the US but certainly not my government who has failed me time after time after i retired from the Army with 22 years of service.

I'll let people know "If you haven't been to any of those countries and had to deal with the people of those countries face to face, don't say shit to me." In order for you to know you have to go.

Oh and for those of you who didn't know a fact out of Somalia--Mohammed Farrah Aidid's son served in the USMC. Aidid was an enemy of ours over there. He died of wounds. Once his son finished his obligation to the USMC, he went back to Somalia to try and unite the broken government.

Tiny - thank you for a reasoned and factual response to SC and the Axis of socialism.
Unfortunately, he/she exists to post ridiculous non-factual lies designed to stir up conservatives who object to the outright lies, denial. and falsehoods he/she posts.

pointing out the facts will not affect the DPST's - they are not capable of rational thought.
Still - thank you for civil and constructive debate.

An intelligent reader would quickly discern that a jackass of your ilk led with the topic of 'slavery'.

Back on topic - the OP is welcome to take the haj to tehran and bow to his/her idol-leaders.

And Contribute his/her entire net worth to the Iran cause in his apology for being American.

Trump will not get impeached! And he will be your President after the new election. My 401 K is making more money than ever. Ask Michigan and Ohio what they think about Trump now. He has brought manufacturers back to the US and their economy along with ours is the best its ever been. Only the blind Democrat’s wont praise this President for doing everything he said he was going to do. And if he wanted to go to war, he would have ordered bombs from the sky and destroyed a lot of shit. Only the uneducated and people who watch CNN really believes he wants to go to war with anyone. Some of you need to quit watching CNN (fake ass need!). I’ll never vote Democrat again after watching how these clowns have acted. They to do anything that helps America. We killed one of the top terrorists in the world. He has ordered and killed several American’s. And you dumb asses wont even give him credit for that. Some rediculous people that need their heads examined. Excuse any errors just typing away on my cellphone.
