War profiteering is real
All Americans should constantly remind themselves that the George Bush who is now being touted as a great leader:
•has approved a "security" bill which limits basic civil liberties in America, resulting in the complete abrogation of the rights of a peace activist: a Green Party USA coordinator was detained at the Bangor, Maine airport and prevented by armed military personnel from flying to a political meeting in Chicago
•came to power through a racist miscount of the votes in Florida and a coup d'etat with the connivance of a corrupt supreme court
•appointed the racist, sexist John Ashcroft to be attorney general and appointed other criminals to positions of power, such as John Negroponte as U.N. ambassador and Otto J. Reich as assistant secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere
•gave the rich a trillion-dollar tax break at the expense of the workers, the poor and the lower middle class
•is raiding Social Security and endangering the retirement funds of millions of workers
•approved special protection to be given to congresspersons while allowing postal workers to be exposed to anthrax
•pushed through a plan for oil drilling in the Arctic wilderness
•pulled out of the Kyoto Agreement, threatening the entire planet with pollution and global warming so his corporate buddies can be saved the cost of anti-pollution measures
•is overseeing a plutocratic regime where corporate fat cats are ensured obscene profits while workers suffer from unemployment, homelessness, anthrax infection, death from terrorist attack, and general distress
We should be aware that current president Bush isn't the first in his family to engage in war profiteering. George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography by Webster G. Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin, reminds us that on October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City that were being conducted by Prescott Bush, the father of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

With the stock market falling, there isn't anything politicians can do but try to escalate war to generate profits and boost the economy.
Obviously, the Bush Cheney agenda isn't finished yet...they haven't started a world war yet and the economy is slagging.
THIS is the real "Inconvenient Truth." Cheney has a conflict of interest being the CEO of a large war machine company and being VP also. Not good for the country.

neither Bush or Cheney has made money from the war in Iraq, Halliburton if thts wht your refering to at the time of scandal was one of a very short list of companies to do the job and since they had ancient ties to Cheney the media blew it way out of proportions.
So stop spewing hate and get facts

well if you could supply any evidence that they have made any money would be nice, but since you didn't and can't I am going to have to say no.
But I have a question for you... aren't you tired of using a bunch of different avatars and pretending to be different people so you can award your self points and make your self seem important, relevant and intelligent?
No one but sad, lonely and depraved people buy your conspiracy theories or your baseless bush bashing.
Try coming up with some evidence that's not right out of the 9/11 wacko play book or the far left's guide to ignorant questions.
thanks.

Furbie, you appear to be new here. Look, if you just want to spout propaganda for one side or the other (I don't play favorites), you have to wait in line. We have a long list of people either love or hate Bush or Hillary or both, and you will need to take a number.
Frankly, if you ask a string of questions that obvious, you are sort of not going to convince anybody of anything, and you certainly are not going to get any decent answers.
Now take a deep breath, count to 10, and think of a better way of phrasing your questions.

No, there is still at least one more dollar to be made. Until they have that it will keep going.
Spreading democracy? Give me a break. Its ALL about oil and you know it.
Thats why we a had a pipeline deal in Afghanistan before 911 that the Taliban torpedoed, we installed UNOCAL Karzai and voila
Also, there is a pipeline from Iraq to Haifa Israel. Think Saddam would have allowed that to happen?

Please enlighten us. How much have they made? A source would be nice as well. And next time put this question in the politics section where it belongs with the other stupid questions.

No, and where did that "missing" $5 billion that was appropriated to Homeland Security go? As a taxpayer, I want to know the answer to that question!
