Reply #7: Cox nails it again. He left out a long list of other major American foreign policy [View All]

achievements such as the fact that after 1968 something like 80% of the mines US soldiers stepped on in Vietnam were made in the US. The Vietnamese and their corrupt American partners were simply reselling them to the Cong. And that while the US govt and media continually asserted that the FMLN was being supported by the Russians (or Cubans, or Chinese, anyone they saw as evil) the fact was that the majority of material that the Salvadoran revolutionaries used originated in the US and was sold to them by Salvadoran governmental and military sources. The list goes on and on or, should I say, the hits keep comin'.

Their track record is so bad that by the time they invaded Iraq for the second time they could lose, literally lose, pallets and pallets of stacks of American one hundred dollar bills and no one even bothered to investigate (this defies the imagination. When I explained to a Mexican friend that we bought dozens of war planes that cost over one billion dollars each, he refused to believe it). What was the point when it's obvious that the real reason for the conflict was precisely to create a situation where large "defense" profiteers could steal lots and lots of tax dollars?
