Iraq War Must Go On! God Says So!
God must have spoken to him.
Defense contractor openly using God to sell war in Iraq
A major defense contractor for the military and Homeland Security claimed that the United States is morally obliged to maintain a permanent presence in Iraq for the sake of God.
“If we stay and rebuild Iraq, we will demonstrate to the world that we remain the best force for good in the world,” Charles Patricoff, Sr. Contract Manager for Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp, said. “More importantly, we as Christians can better influence that region for the Kingdom of God.”
Patricoff pointed out that the American Civil War was more unpopular than the current war in Iraq and 630,000 men died during the fight to end slavery and gain liberty for African-Americans.
“Look at how we helped rebuild Germany and Japan after World War II,” he added. “Because of the good we did there and are doing in Iraq, I don’t believe we should ever leave Iraq.”
Ball Aerospace, based in Boulder, Colorado, manufactures spacecraft, lasers, tactical instruments & sensors, and other components is part of the team that supports the missile defense system initiated by President George W. Bush.
The defense contractor reported 2006 sales of $6.6 billion and employs 15,500 people.
They’re shameless, I tell you.
Does it ever end?
there is little hope for Iraq.
What do they care? If they can hurry the End of the World then JaySus comes back sooner.
These guys are worse than Hitler. At least he believed in something. Evil perhaps, but he really believed it. These assholes are all about greed.
Yeah. The saying “The Almighty Dollar” isn’t a joke any more, fellas.
I think it’s quite funny you’re trying to bash God with this. People can declare or maintain wars in the name of God whether he likes it or not. Almost all the articles here focus on what “God” said to some crazed person who obviously doesn’t have any idea of who God is. I can go around smacking people telling them God told me to, but God doesn’t approve of it. Whether he likes it or not, people will do good and bad things in his name.
Really…..? Did he tell you? Does he talk to you? If that’s the case.. you’re probably the crazy one. Everyone claims god tells them they’re right, it’s amazing how what god tells you is perfectly in line with what you think, isn’t it?
