We must hold accountable those responsible for Iraq

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the rest of the neo-cons are directly responsible for the state of the world.

Why they were not all charged with war crimes is something that has to be answered by President Obama. We have lost thousands of lives already documented because of the Iraq war and the count continues in Paris, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, how many more is still to be determined.

We set our economy back by trillions of dollars. We will see many more U.S. taxpayer dollars spent on the care and treatment of service members who have been mutilated physically or will have mental issues for years to come resulting in unproductive lives and even suicide.

To speak nothing of the great war machine of this country led by mostly GOP businesses that make a fortune of making and selling munitions, fighter jets, bombers, arms - the American taxpayer is being incredibly overcharged for nearly all of these killing tools. If you don’t think so then why has the stock market related to those businesses started a sharp incline.

We were warned about 9/11 and George Bush was in a kindergarten class somewhere in Florida and even after learning of what happened continued for a short time to read to the children.

Really need honesty, not greed and deceit.
