Re: Who is really profiting from the war in Iraq?

I agree with jviehe, the problem here is not the assholes making money off the war, the problem is the American people's continued complete unwillingness to investigate how their leaders are profiting off of the deaths of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civillians. People are kind of vaguely against the wall, but then they trust the politicians who profit from it to end the war. Ridiculous. If people would quit whining about corrupt politicians and start holding them accountable by not VOTING for their asses. Or if they do, by keeping tabs on them and making sure they're actually carrying out their will we wouldn't be here. But people would much rather the MSM inform them of what congress is doing and villify independent sources like thsi website as "left wing nut jobs." This is what you call journalism, doesn't matter if its pro or anti-one particular party. Americans are to blame for how their politicians act. Period.

This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
