"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones." - Donald Rumsfeld.
not helping your case with a quote from the guy involved with an invasion based on fake reports for WMDs that didn't exist.
Guilt by assocation?
"Have a nice day!"
- Hitler
Try actually reading the quote and understanding it. Rumsfeld is a shitbag, ok. But he's not an idiot and the concept explained in the quote shouldn't be a mystery, either.

It cannot lead to anything good? So, if a Middle Eastern country has completely banned the import of American goods and services, is infiltrated by the CIA and they lead to the regime being toppled by a new, US-friendly regime that allows for the entry of American goods and services into their country, that would not improve how much money US companies could make in foreign exports?

I'm not sure what you're advocating here? Multi-national, Stateless corporations exploiting America's taxpayers & eventually American soldier's lives to make more profit?
If you dips want to keep trying le blue jeans and rock and role meme on the Muslims there are better ways to do it than the steaming pile of shit that are most regime changes, covert or otherwise. I have no problem with corporations trying to make a buck though.
Joe American is his own worst enemy, scapegoating the ME for the ill effects which he really just brings down upon himself, with all his spewing of mindless populist drivel. It ain't the ME, it's you, morons.
"Profitable stateless corporations!" As opposed to what, derp-derp?

This is why I think we should limit enfranchisement to veterans.
If you think firing "warning shots" at Russia makes military sense, then you shouldn't vote.
That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of veterans who support stupid shit, but it's certainly limited compared to what I see in the general population.
The only time "warning shots" makes sense is against a vastly inferior force and you are telling them they are about to get annihilated in short order if they don't surrender or disperse.
If you are going to shoot at Russia, you better make it count.

A fancy way of saying nothing. Nobody actually cares about the corporations reaping profits. Just the OWS crowd.
