Bush
bastards stole another $8.7 Billion
But "looking forward" is
what we do
The U.S. Defense Department is
unable to properly account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in
Iraqi oil money tapped by the U.S. for rebuilding the war ravaged
nation, according to an audit released Tuesday.
The report by the U.S. Special Investigator for Iraq Reconstruction
offers a compelling look at
continued laxness in how such funds were being spent in a country where
people complain basic
services like electricity and clean water are sharply lacking seven
years after the U.S.-led invasion
that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The audit found that shoddy record keeping by the Defense Department
left the Pentagon unable to
fully account for $8.7 billion it withdrew between 2004 and 2007 from a
special fund set up by the
U.N. Security Council. Of that amount, Pentagon "could not provide
documentation to substantiate
how it spent $2.6 billion."
I hate that there's not one history
book that will tell the truth about America and wars.
The history books will only tell
the pro-Bush version, that we went to war to save the world
from the very dangerous Saddam, but the real reason America goes to war
is because the
super-rich can't make as much money in peacetime.
That's fact and everybody knows it but when the last time you heard it?
America lurches from war to war
like a drunk looking for his next drink.
We can't stop ourselves - we have
to constantly be at war.
And we tell ourselves we're a
beacon of hope to the world?
What does America export?
A few airplanes, a handful of computers and war machinery - that's all
we sell.
The war profiteers make so much, they're on a "black budget" so we
won't know.
We get into wars so we can use up
all the tanks and trucks and bombs
so we can get busy and build a new generation of weapons for the next
war.
Crooked congressmen regularly order
planes and ships the Pentagon doesn't want
so they can bring home more pork for the war profiteers in their
districts.
And anyone who speaks out against
this waste is
"helping al Qaeda."
And what about this?
We send these men and women to die so the super-rich can make more money.
Iraq - war of choice.
Iraq 1991 - war of choice.
Grenada - war of choice.
Panama - war of choice.
Vietnam - war of choice that cost us 55,000 lives - did we learn anything? No.
And it's all because the super-rich don't have enough.
Remember this from summer 2007?
Iraq
pumped 3.5M
barrels daily before
Bush invaded
and then they got their 2003
Halliburton
upgrade
Bush is stealing $220,000,000 every day.
No wonder they were so eager to start a war,
It's the biggest theft in Earth's history.
$100M a day - all profit - because Bush started a fake war
Some people celebrate Bush's
bloody oil war...
Some don't.

The bastards got 14 over the weekend.
Hey George!
Why kill our soldiers?
Exxon makes $108M - every day
Bush can live
with that,
because
Iraq's oil wells have no meters
and
his
front company is moving to Dubai.
$100M
a day,
$200M
a
day,
$300M
a
day - where's that money
going?
Bush has killed more Americans than Osama.
Exxon was making $108M - every day
and the Bush bastards were stealing $220,000,000 every day.
No wonder America is constantly at war.
