$1.5 Billion per week for just being in Iraq.

I wish I were part of BushCo. Hard work is tough, I like their way better.

1. It was originally $1 billion a week but now that things are going so well

we need to change the amount. I'm sure by the time there is total freedom and total democracy the price will be a measly $10 billion a week at this rate.

2. Pity that other people don't think this is a howling tragedy.

It just goes on and on and on...

3. And $1.4 Billion of it going to Haliburton?

4. Military supply, arms, munitions, construction, etc.

Wartime economy, and those who profit. Halliburton benefit from a closed, circular system, as Doonesbury pointed out. Bomb and build.

They've never come up with anything resembling a good reason why we're there, have they? Or why we needed to bomb them back to the stone age?

And note that the wartime economy does not benefit returning soldiers and veterans. Odd how their interest in humans wanes as their usefulness is ended. Count the money.

We are new fields.

Profits are rolling for them ($72 mil bonus for Halliburton), yet US workers get this news:
