If Bush invades Iran/starts WWIII, it will be to profit.
Both socially and financially.

He's done quite well so far in both areas. Why not continue? It sure looks like no one can stop him. The arena of capitalism has bred the disaster capitalist, and we must stop such if we are to survive.

Impeach and prosecute NOW.

1. I prefer impeachment, but I have an idea for a plan B to see that justice is done.
When Obama becomes president, his attorney general should prosecute the contractors who have stolen money from the American people. If the executives in those companies have left the U.S. and cannot be extradited for fraud, then he should prosecute the government appointees and employees including contract personnel who conspired with the contractors who committed the fraud. Then, the attorney general can offer more lenient sentences to the contractors and government agents involved in the fraud if they cooperate with investigators and prosecutors in an investigation of what the administration participants in the conspiracy did.

2. I agree with everything you have said.
We have to remove the capitalists from the Capitol.

3. But why would he do that?
He's talking about upping the troop numbers by 100,000 then getting out of Iraq and going into Pakistan. I'm not entirely sure where these 100,000 new recruits are going to come from since we've had a back door draft for around 5 years now. The blackwater folks also escort the CIA, WTO, and Pentagon officials. I suspect the CIA and the Pentagon won't approve of such a move. Our government is thoroughly hollowed out and privatized. The fact that Diebold counts our votes and Lockheed Martin counts our censuses is a good example of how thoroughly hollow we've become.

Obama is running as a concilator, someone who will "bring America together" not fight battles against entrenched corporate enemies. I suspect Obama will have little control over the Pentagon, black ops, the CIA, the DIA, and all the contractors they use.
