What are "We" Doing?

...and why?

I'm talking about the recent Iranian capture of an RQ-170 stealth drone. 

First of all, I should say that I've never been a fan of our decision to go off on a military adventure in the middle east.  I never thought we should've gone to either Afghanistan or Iraq.  Neither country was or is capable of waging war with the United States. 

But, Mark!  What about 9/11?  Look, the fact that a few radicals were able to pull off an attack doesn't change anything.  Find out who was responsible for the attack and take care of business.  We didn't need to send, literally, armies of people to occupy foreign countries - countries that were never a threat to our security - to accomplish this!

I know it's popular to take this stance these days.  But I've been very consistent with my opinion on this matter.  I never thought it was a good idea to move on the middle east the way we have.

Now we have Iran.  They have a nuclear facility that by all accounts only produces electricity.  Our current administration and nearly all republicans are at it again, beating the drums of war.  All because they have a nuclear facility?!?  Really??  Does anyone in government remember how to be a diplomat?

This is a joke, right?

And just who is going to declare War?  Congress?  Ok, sure, that's gonna happen...  The American public doesn't have the stomach for war with anyone!  So, we will just march on Iran - illegally - just like we did with Afghanistan, just like we did with Iraq, just like we did with Libya.

I guess we have to have a playground for all our new toys, right?  Toys like the RQ-170 stealth drone.  Does anyone really believe that the drone wasn't in Iranian air space?  Anyone?  Give me a break!  The drone was in Iran checking on a nuclear facility - plain and simple.  That is much easier to believe than the official story that it was flying in Afghanistan air space, only "close" to the Iran border.  Really?  And just what targets are we looking for that close to the Iranian border?  What was it we were supposedly spying on?

It's really getting pathetic.  Listening to the government is like listening to some teenagers.  Your told more lies than the truth.  Eventually, you assume everything is a lie until you can verify otherwise.  That's where I am right now.  You can't believe one single word the government says.

We need to get out of there.  Our soldiers are dying and getting severely injured, we're wasting multiple trillions of dollars, and now we're giving away technology that would normally give us an advantage when we really need it. 

And we're making more enemies every minute we stay...

What the hell are we doing?
