    I don't know who those guys you don't like are, 'cause I'm barely paying attention these days, and I don't care that Trump took a security clearance away from a dude who didn't need it anymore either. But some of your ideas about the wars could use some tempering.

    If you look at wars historically, ten civilians died for every soldier. With the advent of drones and lazer focused aerial bombardments, for the first time in history the US has flipped that to ten soldiers die for every civilian. Since the 90s we've been operating some of the most bloodless wars the world has ever seen, with the most care and caution for human life of all time. During the war in Iraq the national life expectancy went up and the death rate fell. For decades under Saddam they lost a hundred thousand people every year, since the war started almost two decades ago they've lost about 220 thousand total. It's more dangerous in Chicago right now.

    The war might have been authorized under false pretenses but it probably saved a million lives. You have to remember Clinton's Oil For Food Program in 1995, all the sanctions, which I think the UN decided were a war crime because it didn't make Saddam scale back his weapons program. It just led to a 500,000 rise in infant mortalities and Saddam pocketing $1.7 billion in bribes. Right or not, things are still better without that guy around.

    As far as torturing terrorists goes, I'm surprisingly cool with it.

    I just copied and pasted some stuff, I don't really care about the torturing or drone attacks either, I just despise Brennan because he's a neocon and a war monger lackey of Bremer and Bush. I was staunchly against the Iraq War before it took place, was shouting from the rooftops it was bull**** to anyone who would listen, got called a traitor by several at the time, well I was right and they were wrong, the same goes for Obama's involvement with Libya and Syria, that Brennan's filthy mitts were all over as well. He's shitfilth. I'm ant-US meddling in general, I tend to be somewhat of an isolationist, especially when it comes to regime change and flat out imperialist natural resource grabs, which is what all three of those wars were based on.

    I'm against all wars, a pacifist philosophically speaking, but I get where Bush was coming from and can see that he genuinely thought he was doing a good thing. For the life of me though, I can't understand why Obama got us tangled up with Lybia and why we can't just declare victory and bug out of the middle east. Let China or Russia have that wasps nest and let Israel fend for itself.

    Best scenario, Trump declares victory, pulls all US armed forces out of the middle east, gets his military parade and a Nobel Peace Prize. Second term, they start chiseling his face on Rushmore, and liberals lose their ****.

    I'll get back to you later, I have to eat, but I can tell you now, I don't share your attitude on Bush, I don't think he did anything with good intentions.

    Congrats @KiwiMan for retaining the WBK championship.
    I picked round 10, I thought the referee could have let it go on a little bit. But hey.. Better luck next time I guess.
