What is our military objective in Afghanistan / Pakistan?
Stop Terrorism against the United States as defined by Bush

How are we achieving that?

Part of the terrorist during 9-11 were here in the United States on student visas. That has not been dealt with in that there are still plenty of "students" in the USA that were on Student Visas but are now unaccounted for. Some of the terrorist were learning to fly planes in US flight schools. That is still happening. Little to nothing has been done to protect our borders or our ports.

Are we protecting American lives?
Soldiers killed in Iraq: Reported Deaths: 4327
USA Soldiers killed in Afghanistand: 747

Military spending shifted overseas and spending to try to buy friends around the world with both direct money and insane trade policies has done huge economic harm to the United States.

While fighting these two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with poorly defined objectives, the Republicans and the Democrats have been closing down American Military bases in USA. This loss of dometic military spending has been a factor in underminding local economies around the United States which in gross has hurt the entire American economy.

While George Bush was rebuilding and building economes in Iraq and Afghanistan, our Domestic American Economy underwent what amounted to a collapse. And Bush / Obama has seemed to be more concerned about how that economic collapses impacts foreign countries than how it is impacting each of the fifty states.

At the begining of the Iraq War George Bush had a boat load of money shipped to Iraq. I mean, seriously, a boat load of money to spread through Iraq to boost the Iraqi economy. California and many states have been in danger of going bankrupt, in part because of the Federal Government transferring state money to foreign countries, and Obama's Trilateral Commission response has basically been tough shit.

In Iraq, as our government tried to rebuild their economy, George Bush understood to provide medical care to the Iraqi people you have to increase the number of active hospitals, clinics, and doctors. There was no insane talk of giving a shit load of money to insurance companies while bankrupting hospitals and causing them to shut down and pretending that would provide healthcare. If you want to provide health care for the poor, you actually build facilities for the poor. Think about it!!!

____

So what is the Objective of Bush/Obama in Iraq/Afghanistan? To protect America? Exactly how the fuck is that really working and is that really their Objective.

What has really been the Bush/Obama economic goals and objectives for the American Economy? To destroy or build. Think about it!!!
