the forgotten truth: the motive for the LIES is PROFIT!
No one is discussing this very important and explosive point.

WHY did Bush drive the U.S. to war? Why did he risk everything to get there, including the very presidency??

PROFIT! PROFIT! PROFIT!

No one is speaking about the gajillions of dollars the Bush family trust fund will earn off war, to say nothing of the multi-millions the Bush cronies will rake in.

If they can't get out of war profiteering, they ought to get out of national politics.

1. so the next time...
....they try to pull that BS about Bush's hard decision to bring democracy and freedom in the Middle East, sucker punch them.

We might believe it if they didn't make billions from war.

2. Bush will be a Billionaire
He went to Texas with a few hundred thousand dollars. Two terms as Governor and he was a multimillionaire. Two terms as president of the USA he will be a billionaire. Bush isn't running this country. He is using it.

4. The war was wrong. Profits are not.
I sure as hell hope my company continues to make a profit. Otherwise I will not have a job.

Believe me. Losing money is not a good way to run a business.

5. Good profits/Bad profits, there are differences
I am told Haliburton makes MREs

The troops in Iraq are forced to eat the MREs 24/7

WTF???

At least there should be a small break for the boys and some real food made available 2x or 3x per week.

Most businesses are lucky to have a Profit margin of 2% to 15%.

The sweetheart/deals can mean 200+% profits, barely legal and referred to as obscene.
