Racketeering big time!
Since this war began, I wondered how the Bush gang is making money from it. We know of Haliburton, which has a past tie to Cheney as the CEO. But did we all know about the 'Carlyle Group'? I have a link to it: www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html, or just put in 'Carlyle Group' as a search. Seems George Bush, Sr, James Baker, Rumsfield, etc, all have advisory roles, and it's all about handling contracts for the rebuilding of Iraq. And of course there are fees and kickbacks for this gang as always.

2. Carlyle bought Dunkin Donuts AND
Baskin Robbins... dope us with sugar and then withdraw it if we don't do what they say. :)

Whatever happened to the trilateral commission that Boosh I belonged to in the 70s? Did it devolve into the Carlyle group?

6. I did but thought
that everyone is a bit sensitive these days and didn't take it personally.

Peace

7. Who do you think is pocketing all the money from arm sales to Israel?
Why do you think Bush/Blair hasn't called for a cease fire?

They are lining their pockets w/billion's of $$$.

Everyone is blaming the Jews..perhaps the blame should be on
the instigators who stand to benefit from the war. Isn't that
the rule of any investigation...Who Benefits?
