Article Source: PoliticoRep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) wants Iraq to pay America back for the war effort that overthrew Saddam Hussein but also dragged on for nine years.
"I believe that Iraq should reimburse the United States fully for the amount of money we've spent to liberate these people," the presidential candidate said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"They're not a poor country, they're a wealthy country," Bachmann said.
OMG, just when you think Bachmann has stated every nonsensical thing, she comes up with this nonsense...

What an absolute ditz. WTF is she still doing on the mainstream programs?
While you're at it Michele, how about what the French owe us from 1941-1945? Korea? The Confederacy?
We go where we're not wanted, for our own venal interests, then the conquered or the "liberated" have to pay for what we've done to them? International extortion is now a plank in the TB platform?
Iraq to Bachmann:
@!$%# off. You invaded our sovereign nation all on your own. Eat it.
how about she reimburse the US for the funds she used ...
Bachmann's husband got $137,000 in Medicaid funds
Presidential candidate has often blasted growing welfare programs

And a family farm in Wisconsin, where she is listed as a partner, received some $260,000 in federal subsidies.

Yes, reimburse us and if you can go after Viet Nam, do it! It cost us lives and money to intercede, so, pay up!
Let's have a military for rent! You need help? Fine, sign the contract!
#3 - Sun Oct 23, 2011 5:00 PM EDTWow, I guess you do not get the fact that Bachmann is calling for Iraq to reimbuse us for a war that we started, to be utterly ridiculous and shows yet again that Bachmann knows nothing about foreign policy and dipolmacy...
Mag,
That would only work IF Iraq asked for assistance. They didn't.
By the way, do you know what they call a military that acts based on money ? Mercenaries.
I'm not a mercenary...
You mean she wants restitution?
If I ask you to build a house on my property I owe you for it. If you just build a house without my permission then give me a bill I’d tell you to stuff it.
#5 - Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:21 PM EDTSo we made up a bunch of lies to justify invading a country and we should expect them to pay for it?
Yeah and where is that $2 a gallon gas you are going to get us lady?
Halliburton might get it for $2 but the American people won't.
#6 - Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:30 PM EDTYeah and where is that $2 a gallon gas you are going to get us lady?
Firehouse chili costs $1.98 a can.
What must the rest of the world think when a person this ridiculous can rise to the point of being a pesidential candidate? It is so embarassing it makes me want to hide under my bed.
