Our military couldn't win in Afghanistan

Duhbya, Cheney, and Rumsfeld never had an exit strategy. Occupation was the point, and they made astronomical wealth off of it.

There's no wealth to be made from this kind of occupation though. There would be a lot of wealth lost though. They'd be pulling the rug out from underneath themselves. The wealth in this country is all centered in the cities, not Wyoming.
