We have sent our troops to war without paying for it. Now, we are bringing them home without saying how we are paying for it. ↗

Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war, anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon. ↗
