"Surge" or Not, the Implication of one Puts Free $$$ in Halliburton's hands NOW

[symbolman]

I worked as a Purchasing agent in the US Air Force, and did Contract Maintenance. I know what they are doing with this SURGE bullshit.

If Bush even IMPLIES that 20K or 60K troops will be part of an escalation THEN that means that HALLIBURTON, with their open ended contracts start raking in MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW and there's nothing Congress can do about it, it screws the Dems, and CHENEY'S PALS KEEP THE MONEY.

Halliburton will be required to create QUARTERS for these incoming troops (regardless of whether they show or NOT, just the Implication means they need to START RUNNING THE MONEY METER), supplies will have to be moved, got to feed the NEW TROOPS, get them water, fuel, etc, etc.

Of course OTHER Defense contractors will be needed to fill the gap as well. More Humvees, bombs, the works.

It's just FREE MONEY for Halliburton & Pals, whether the Dems can put a stop to the move or Bush changes his mind, the die will be cast, and the bills will come due, all to be paid by the Great ATM in the Treasury.

Once again, another REPIG, BUSH, throws Open the GRAIN STORES for his pals.

And as another poster has said here, that will put Bush at the end of his term, and out the door he goes, the first TRILLIONAIRE pResident in the history of the US, and I have no doubt that there are MULTIPLE Bank accounts full of money waiting to be spent for generations by all the Bushes, sitting in OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS.

FREE MONEY, and another chance to thumb their noses at the Congress, the American People, and the rest of the World.

This is the perfect scam they all dreamed about for many years, and put in place, and now there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it, unless republicans actually for once in their lives show some Patriotism and BUST BUSH, if only to save themselves.

His Dad's S&L Scam was Pocket Change (Silverado anyone? Another Bush), he should be proud of his son, he's been part of the Biggest HEIST in the history of the world.

1. All we can hope for is some

investigations. First off, we need to look into the propaganda blizzard of lies that Bush-co rammed down our necks from 02 to 03. Next, the no-bid contracts, hell, all these war profiters need to be looked into.

2. My question is, are the War Profitteering Acts still on the Books

from when Grand daddy worked with the Nazis?

Why not USE THEM?

And another thing, all this money spent on this war, based on lies and Halliburton Profiting?

I WANT THAT MONEY BACK, in the Treasury, ALL OF IT. The war was a lie, made under false pretenses so the american people deserve a REFUND. :)

And I'm dead serious. We'll take it in FLESH if we need to.
