they must be consumed by the mystery

I proclaim a fatwa on Assange! He shall never know peace!

" But the military that withdrew after seven years of war was a demoralized force that had long since ceased to believe in the noble goals of the campaign.

The documents faithfully reflect this change. In the roughly 400,000 documents, the word "democracy" appears only eight times. The "improvised explosive devices" which instilled fear in the hearts of American soldiers, however, are mentioned 146,895 times."

LOL you'd think we lost or something

"But there is one key difference between the Afghanistan war logs and these: The Iraq reports are all from a war that had already been officially declared as having been won. George W. Bush, the US president and commander in chief at the time, declared on May 1, 2003 on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." The field reports show that his statement proved to be untrue for years to come."

There was no major combat in Iraq between 2003 and 2010.  Guess the Germans forgot their own history.

since the Democrats insist that "Citizens United" made corporations into persons
and they think marriage is a right for all persons
I guess Texaco should marry Pennzoil to get around antitrust laws

Of course it was not a defensive war, and since he got a peace treaty in 1805 it was not just one war but several.  He declared war, invaded, deposed monarchs, put up his own kinfolk as King, and then looted the place for more wars.  Spain wasn't trying to invade France in 1810.  Russia wanted to be left alone.

and I guess you'd argue coming back from Elba and setting up the Empire again was a defensive move?

its an allegory!

I'm beginning to think so, since I am just an economic unit with no rights atall
