Reply #28: The biggest problem is WAR PROFITEERING!!! [View All]

[judy]

I am posting this everywhere I can, because it should not be overlooked!

War profiteering has created more unemployment and hatred, has done more to ignite sectarian fighting, than the invasion and the occupation itself. This is where the country has really been stolen from the Iraqis, along with the hard earned money of American taxpayers. And don't count on Baker/Hamilton to fix this. They are probably there to make sure it keeps going, and whatever cost.

In 3 years, and after billions and billions, the infrastructure is still non existent, and there are still no jobs for Iraqis. It is a huge scandal. War profiteering is illegal according to international law, and pulling all these no-bid contracts should be the first priority of the new Congress. Such a move, would go a long way toward establishing a new found good will, and would allow for an easier pulling of the troops later on.

Also, if the Iraqis are working on rebuilding their country (at a fraction of the huge costs of Halliburton, KBR etc.) they will have less time to wage civil war against each other.

Remember: for the profiteers, the Iraq war has been a huge success! If they don't get pulled first, there is no solution indeed...
