HAIL TO THE THIEF?

Update: STILL NO Weapons of Mass Destruction found... Bush, we know what the war was really about.

For any of you who thought this page was a joke or something, take a look at how Halliburton's stock has been rising.
We also see ChervonTexaco's stock rising as they obtain new contracts to pump and refine Iraqi oil:

Iraqi control is making profit for the Bush family and friends and for companies they are involved with, but
the occupation of Iraq is costing US taxpayers nearly $4 BILLION PER MONTH.
Total cost to the US for activities in Iraqi war is climbing towards $100 BILLION and the federal deficit will soon reach $400 BILLION.
All this, during a time when the US is slowly recovering from a recession that was driven by corporate scandals such as Enron and other problems, many of which the Bush administration is much to blame.

Inform yourself about an Iraqi oil field services contract awarded to Halliburton just after the war's end:

Learn about how Dick Cheney and his Energy Task Force was scoping out Iraqi oil even before Sept 11th

Gas prices had a sharp increase during the months before the war, and now that the war is over, the per-barrel price that the oil companies pay has gone back down to just above pre-war prices, but what we see at the pump is only a small decrease. This means more (huge) profits for Bush-Cheney's main love and supporters: the oil companies.

And what about the continued terror bombings from Al-Queda and attacks on US troops? Why are there still Al-Queda bombings going on?!?
Why did our government not put 1 billion per day (which is about what was spent on the Iraqi war when it was in full gear) into eliminating Al-Queda and organizations like it?
The reason is: The Bush administration has it's own agenda... Profit and power for the oil companies obviously comes before safety and security of the American people.
