Just like the 60s
when they kept lying to us about Viet Nam, why we were there and why we stayed there, how long it was going to last and who was making the money.
The big difference is that the war in Viet Nam was fought by the US military using drafted citizens and the war in Iraq is being fought by the US military, now a professional army (called a volunteer army) and private contractors paid by the US, known in the trade as mercenaries. Congress should pass a law making it illegal to pay mercenaries with public funds.
