The war is not a failure for those that wanted it. |
|
Oil was $20 and the military was getting about $300 billion a year before the war. Now the oil is more than double and the military is getting over $400 billion a year.
Looks like everything is just fine for the people, the real people that really matter not all us slaves and peons at the bottom of the so called middle class, oh sorry the upper middle class.

I don't have the figures, but if you look at the jump in military contractor spending, I think you will see the war profiteers are profitting handsomely.

5. But, does the illegal President really care? |

I mean, if you steal the Presidency in the most powerful country on earth...a little crime like war profiteering of billions probably goes by unnoticed...especially for such a dim bulb as George Bush.

4. Exxon Mobil And The Military Industrial Complex Should Be Very Happy... |

I'm sure they will continue to shovel millions of dollars one way or another into the NEOCON's coffers.
