  • Truth

    Be told! Behind every war, there are plenty of people profiting from it. Welcome to capitalism!

  • regardless of why we are in iraq

    if these profiteers are overbilling the taxpayers, they should be held accountable, and charged for the treason they are responsible for, the corporations assets siezed, and companies dissolved. Who will investigate this? the next President will be appointed soon, help us GeorgeO.

    • Treason

      n
      1. betrayal of country: violation of the allegiance owed by a person to his or her own country, for example, by aiding an enemy. See also high treason
      2. treachery: betrayal or disloyalty
      3. act of betrayal: an act of betrayal or disloyalty
      Sounds suspiciously like voting 97 to 3 in the Senate, and overwhelmingly in the House of Representatives for a war. Then claming you were deceived, didn’t vote for it, or it was in some way illegitimate. Trying to de fund the war while the troops are in the field. And giving aid and comfort to the enemy in the press, and while overseas. A regular plethora of Benedict Arnolds. All the while wrapping themselves in a blanket of patriotism.

    DICK Cheney's response to the publics dwindling support for the war was, "SO?"

  • Republican's insisted it not be shown.

    With the Moore-on's controlling the House and Senate, get serious.

    • Man, you're dumb!

      They have control because they have one more seat than the republicans. Just under half of them are still republican. And they still have to respect them. It must be strange for you to live in a world where everything is so simple.

    • I guess you are dumb too

      Congress is the one handling and paying for the war. Bush and or the President can go to war but the rest is by our Congress.

  • Sure the war S**ks , but....

    George Bush IS NOT A TERRORIST!! Sure the war S**ks , but the US had every right to invade Iraq to get Saddam Hussein - he was a dictator, and a terrorist, and no one else in the United Nations had the balls to do it. I don't like the war either, but it's got to be finished. We started it and we have to finish it.

    • ...

      So, according to your philosophy, just because someone is a dictator you invade the country? So according to what you have just said, america should be invaided because your president is acting like a dictator towards the world. Who is america to declare war against another country without the approval of the UN (which mind you is another american organisation)? Bush is a war criminal, and should be charged for war crimes.
      And as for what you said, america started it, well damn right it started everything. If america wouldn't be provoking everyone and flexing its small muscles, the world would be a better place. But peace is too expensive to america. And one more thing, and this is a fact and i have evidence to prove it:
      america started the war with Iraq because of oil. Iraq refused to supply american oil companies with the oil they wanted, and because Iraq has 1/4 of the world's fuel capacity, that is a big loss, especially against Russia because Mr. Saddam had began to make contracts with the Russians.

      Same thing happened to Yugoslavia, when they had enough military power to be able to supply India, Pakistan and others with nuclear weapons and plutonium. What did america do? Start a ethnic war and seperate the countries so that they couldnät have the competition.

      And also now with Georgia. america has oil interests there and thats why it is sticking its nose where it doesn't belong - AGAIN! Im glad Russia is standing up to america, and i hope that everyone else does so too so that we can all at last have so peace and prosperity, including america.

      Im not hating on america, im just pointing out the cold hard facts which many people don't want to accept and you seem like one of them, and that is why im telling you this so you can open your eyes.
