Man you're even more confused on this than I thought. You made a completely empty post. Not even a letter. I didn't think it was possible- as in didn't think the forum would allow that. I'll hafta consult brett's vbulletin specialist, TerryP.
A part of the cease fire agreement was war reparations,.. but no, we did not steal Iraqi oilfields after the first war.
What was I supposed to say to that? You weren't even sure yourself, if you read what you typed. Regardless, I'm all about cutting waste wherever it exists.
So you think money spent on protecting former presidents is wasteful spending. You also say you're a Republican. Color me skeptical.
Since when are the Republicans about spending tax payer money? When it's on white boys? NOT. Former presidents are loaded. Matter of fact there was a Republican sponsored bill to limit this spending. It was authored by non other than Marco Rubio. http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/05/26/Ex-Presidents-Are-About-Get-Big-Taxpayer-Pay-cut
