It is just as much religious war as it is about money and minerals.
Evangelical christians want the US to be over their for the protection of Israel as it is inscribed in the Bible. It is also very much a religious war.
It is a win win situation:
Corporations get money, Evangelicals get their doomsday scenario
Are ANY of those groups or their representatives referred to as "The Supreme Leader"?
Relax. It's only the Nigerian boko fools that are uttering such.

It is a crusade plain and simple.
Here is your basic evangelical preacher:
He is saying that we are at war with ISLAM, it does not get more religious than that..

Nice try but still a "fail". That's sectarian violence in Iraq, that we caused. Not the bombing of service people in America. Try Google again. It's eternal.

Thank you.
Now YOU clean up your religion's mess in your homes before we do ,cause guess what,we can't tell which ones are bad and who are good from aircraft and satellites,As a soldier I would just kill those who were not surrendering,they should not have been in our way in fighting vehicles they couldn't appropriately use, in the path of our assault.But if YOU do it we won't have to destroy your country or decimate your populations.We have Christian White supremacists in the US but we don't let them loose ,we keep them under foot and thump them when they commit any crimes like hanging and the like.The don't have organized elements in our military(although they do join I gather)I have never seen a neo nazi saw off a guys head though.But I suppose that "Value of human life" weakness we westerners have is quite a handy tool to YOUR bad seeds.
I would,of course, apologize for the crusade but I wasn't born in Europe in the dark ages,where apparently, some of your wayward brothers and sisters still are locked in their heads.
Yes I am aware as completely as I can be about my country's adventurism and treachery.How sad your culture never pursued science or embraced a world view,in order to join the rest of us in the 20th century.Perhaps that would have opened up your youth's future so they can have lives that don't involve demolition.
That is why WE had a revolution to grow as a people not to be religiously and economically oppressed. So when we hit Iran let this statement serve you as an answer to ANY protests you may have about my forces killing your brothers and sisters,Yes of course they are mine too but I'm not planning to kill you and remember that weakness I have
isn't it a shame a young nation like ours LOST the wisdom of the east, who were once the pearls of the world to the self righteous autocrats they have turned into today?
Oh well I guess we'll just have to fake it as we learn.
Military court finds Calvin Gibbs guilty of murdering Afghan civilians, but decides against automatic life sentence.
A US army sergeant has been convicted of murdering unarmed civilians and cutting fingers from their corpses as ringleader of a rogue platoon in Afghanistan's south.
But the jury at a court-martial hearing on Thursday decided against the automatic life sentence for Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs, 26, saying he would be eligible for parole after serving eight and a half years.
The alleged ring leader of “kill team” was found guilty on all 15 counts, including three charges of premeditated murder in southern Afghanistan between January and May last year.
The verdict and sentence marked the culmination of an 18-month investigation of the most egregious atrocities that US military personnel have been convicted of committing during a decade of war in Afghanistan.
Photographs entered as evidence in the case showed Gibbs and other soldiers casually posing with bloodied Afghan corpses, drawing comparisons with the inflammatory Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq in 2004.
