George W. Bush, War Profiteers, and the Terrorism-Industrial Complex
by Brent Budowsky | Jul 12 2007

Dwight Eisenhower warned us against George Bush and the kind of government he would bring to Washington when a president who pursues an obsessive war combines with those who pursue the obsessive profits and corruptions that surround his war.

George Washington warned us about George Bush and the unwise foreign entanglements that could corrupt our system and so gravely damage our country.

James Madison warned us about the threats to our liberty from factions that seek to dominate our democracy and fears that are created and exploited in the cause of eroding our freedoms.

Jesus Christ warned us about a society where the hungry become more hungry, the poor become more poor, the ill become more pained — all while others gorge themselves on their greed and bloat themselves on their unjust enrichments.

Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and Paine warned us about those who claim the king is law, reminded us that in our land the law is king, and warned us about those whose search for total power would destroy the democratic checks and balances that God inspired them to leave for us.

Lincoln gave his life for his prayer to bind our wounds after a hard and bitter war, while Bush creates a hard and bitter war that he uses to rip and tear and exploit the wounds he creates in his sick and demented partisan strategies.
