How was it that with the entire world and most of us against an Iraq attack George Bush managed

5. For one thing, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein carried a lot of weight in the US Senate.

And boy oh boy did she ever want that war.

And due to how Feinstein had re-written the entire ethics code that once had offered some protection for the average US citizens from elected officials' predatory rampages against both the national treasury and the nation's service people, she knew if she could convince enough other "D" Senators to vote for the Iraq War Resolution, (IWR) then she would have it made in the shade until she was in the grave.

Within six months of our "Shock and Awe" attack on the people of Iraq, her husband, Richard Blum, had earned up to 27 million dollars of profit. Oh to be a contractor, married to a powerful woman senator! And to know that most of the time, a person didn't have to even fulfill the war contracts, as when the work is supposed to happen inside a nation where everything is being blown up, well, who cares?

By the end of the our involvement in the Iraq War, Feinstein/Blum had over 750 millions of dolalrs of war contracts! Often Feinstein's ability to have hearings in which war generals testified as to the future projections of the military in Iraq, allowed the couple insider access to information as to what was going to be need in terms of Iraq "re-construction" efforts and also war necessities.

If you consider that many of our trusted and elected "public servants" in the House have just as much greed inside their soulless life forms as Feinstein does, and you have your answer.

Meanwhile, those who voted against the IWR, like Congresswoman Barbara Lee, had to defend themselves against death threats!
