Do some research. Start with google or yahoo. Some of the webpages you will go to are just liberal wacko kook sites. However, some will be a little more balanced.
Halliburton has raked in over $10 billion since being in Iraq- their stock has sky rocketed. Several other contractors have also done very well financially. More power to them.. they do a lot of good for our troops. Mr. Cheney still collects checks from this company (from stocks)... im sure the amounts are posted on the internet on various sites. Sen. Latenberg from NJ was a name that make a big stink of this. Try putting his name into the research that you may (or may not) do.
I identify myself politically as a mix of conervative/libertarian.. i guess the correct jargon is paleo-conservative or whatever they want to call it. I see things for that they are.. I dont let my politics get in the way of reality. Republican and Democratic ethics/honesty are about as clean as a NYC garbage truck.
bigtom, *you* made the statement and *you* should be able to back it up with solid links. I am simply challenging your so far unfounded accusation against "the president and his buddies".
Trust NOTHING that Frank Lautenberg says. He is about the biggest dope in the Senate, and that's saying a lot. My one and only letter to a newspaper that got published was in regards to that schmuck violating gun safety rules while giving a gun-grabbing speech.
