This was an article that appeared in The Guardian newspaper in the UK earlier this month. It was certainly revealing how much money Halliburton were making in the so called "War on Terror" - the US Government must think their people are really stoopid to let them get away with it ...
"Early this year the Bush administration is to ask Congress to approve an additional $100bn for the onerous task of making life intolerable for the Iraqis. This will bring the total spent on the White House's current obsession with war to almost $500bn - enough to have given every US citizen $1,600 each. I wonder which the voters would have gone for if given the choice: shall we (a) give every American $1,600 or (b) spend the money on bombing a country in the Middle East that doesn't use lavatory paper?
Of course, there's another thing that George Bush could have done with the money: he could have given every Iraqi $18,700. I imagine that would have reduced the threat of international terrorism somewhat. Call me old-fashioned, but I can't help thinking that giving someone $18,700 brings them round to your side more quickly than bombing the hell out of them. They could certainly buy a lot of lavatory paper with it."

Show me evidence that Bush intentionally lied to the public (and don't post any conspiracy theorist b/s). Can you show any proof?
Didn't think so.
We're doing great things over there, the media just doesn't show it. I've seen it over and over and over.
How bout if the media broadcast statistics on every deadly crime committed in the US every single day. It would probably be pretty sobering and the news coming out of Iraq would pale in comparison. Hundreds of people are murdered every day in American cities, yet you don't hear the outcry from the media.
Hmmm.
Why is that?

Now now....theres a good little Lib reciting his rhetoric lesson he tried so hard to memorize. Well done, especially that part about the lies.....but that part doesnt apply to most of your Dem leaders that voted to go to war and are now backpeddeling like they had nothing to do with it, does it?
Run along now. We dont want you to fry your little brain trying to recite the entire Lib mantra.

I vote that those of us not in support of this lame war should have to pay anything to fund it. Let the Repubtards pick up the tab.
