The DOD/NSA/CIA shadow goverment rules all, including an elected President, Congress, and are diligently working to control individual citizens. We must resist at all costs. The War Dogs want Afgan minerals, gas, oil, ect….even if it takes 10 more years of "winning the hearts and minds of the Afgan people. The War Dogs are trying to steal their land and wealth…the usual real cause of wars.
