8 Billion a month for the G.I.'s to fight & die in Iraq, but think of the PROFITS!
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 05:36 PM by Philosoraptor
...but I wonder how much the war profiteers MAKE per month for all this horrible madness and grief and suffering? Surely they are really cleaning up, and they probably make enough to not only cover the 8 billion a month, which WE pay for anyway, but I'll bet they make quite the tidy profit.

And I'll bet in the last 4 years they've made the biggest bundle ever made by such a small group of individuals in such a short time, while half a million of 'the enemy' died and three thousand of our sons and daughters, and 20,000 G.I.'s crippled forever, I bet they've made 16 billion a month maybe, or maybe 40 billion a month, whattayathink?

Could anyone tally up the exact profits made by the most brazen war profiteers in history that we could publish, with an itemized list of monthly costs versus yearly profits minus a few dead young Americans, and an unnecessary, unknown number of Iraqis?

Man I bet cheney and rummy and condi and the bush vampire family are really majorly cleaning up big time! You gotta hand it to em huh?

1. Just a guess that several billion dollars each month is flowing into someone's coffers never being
reported on the cash flow, income, and profit statements. Mind you that's just a guess: it might be only a few billion dollars a month. Of course there's no oversight, no accountability, no questioning whatsoever where all that money's going, probably even laws to prevent such inquiry or to charge known embezzlers with criminal wrongdoing. And tens of millions of Amurikkkans still approve of/support such shenanigans. :mad:
