Why can't people see the dollar signs in their eyes?
Win or lose, or better yet, eternal chaos -- all of these outcomes in Iraq were the same to Billion $$$$ Cheney. The best thing for him, actually, is what is happening right now, the cycle of destruction and construction means nothing but profit for his buddies at Halliburton. The war that lasts forever means a big fat stream of dollars, and to them, the people who die are just "human capital." Did they think that they would ever run out of that "resource?"

I think this is why they didn't bother to plan for a post-invasion. They don't care. The chaos suits them just fine -- the longer it goes on the better for them. And it was probably laughably easy to dupe Bush into stumbling right in for them.

Why can't people see the profit motive? How can anyone attribute any sort of noble or honest motives to anything these monsters do anymore? Then the first thing out of their mouths when it comes to John Kerry is to accuse him of having financial motives!

They make me :puke:

Thanks for letting me vent.

1. I think people are catching on to their evil deceitful ways.
When The Bubble Boy was asked when we would turn over Saddam to the Iraqi government he ignored the question and said "He must be brought to trial for the torture and murder of innocent Iraqi's." For a minute there I thought he might get that "deer in the headlights" look he sometimes gets when he said that. Um, do I uh, want to really uhhh, say that because erm there are pictures of uuuhhhhhhhhhhh Amurikans doing umm that too.

5. Oh and ain't that ironic?
What kind of mess is that going to be? How could they put Saddam on trial, knowing what he knows about US foreign policy under Reagan and Bush I?

And for torture and murder of innocents? My my my.

We can only hope that his day will come.

10. Wars have never been about anything else really
its always been about $$$$. Used to make the whole country rich but now the profits made are only in the hands of a few, Bush, Cheney et al in this mafia bunch.
