End The Corporate Occupation Of Iraq!!!—Why Do We Hear So Little About It?
Why don't the Democrats and John Kerry talk more about the fact that hundreds if not thousands of companies have swooped in like carpetbaggers in Iraq and are making massive massive profits from contracts being awarded with almost no contest. Not to mention the rampant overcharging for work done (or mostly undone) and the fact that often there are perfectly viable Iraqi firms that could do the work and could really use it.

If I was john kerry I would make that one of my campaign buttons, distribute it on signs, emblazen it on massive campaign banner backdrops during my speeches, I really think it's an issue not being addressed AT ALL, and it definitely should be!

You hear the talking heads on CNN and the like always spewing the myth that "well john kerry and george bush's views on iraq are so similar, do they have any differences" well this would be a great way for john kerry to differentiate himself from W, who you will never EVER hear talk about discuss this matter in reference to Iraq. It's all SADDAM WAS EVIL! HE GASSED HIS OWN PEOPLE! WE'RE BRINGING FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY TO AN OPPRESSED PEOPLE! Bullshit.
