not too much news there...
what sold it for me was before the war started, before shot one had been fired, the contracts were signed to rebuild what was still standing.
that is what's called malicious intent.

One man's malicious intent is another man's methodical and rational look at the outcome of what will most likely happen.
Of course there were contracts given to companies before the bombs hit the ground, they had to have possessed some sort of plan... I mean they knew it was gonna happen, the UN stuff was a last ditch effort to make it 100% legit, rather than 95% legit.
And if I recall, Halliburton was given so many contracts because they were one of very few companies big enough to actually undertake the massive work needed out of all the companies of the nations who chose to help the US that bid. (of course Cheney's connections helped a lot... an awful lot... but there's no denying Halliburton is a huge company easily capable of the contracts it received)
As for this Bush = Hitler stuff... wow. Just wow. There's no hidden agenda, its widely published, its just nationalistic policy. When Canada does it, we call it Trudeaumania, when the US does it, its a preamble to Fascism?
Frankly they are both poor choices, but either one would be better than what we have sitting in office.
