4. The Carlysle Group, the military industrial complex.

weapons dealers. Pretty simple, actually. Follow the money.

6. Conservatives, and the Carlyle group.

The repukes have attacked our civil liberties, liberated two foriegn countries from their mineral wealth, and dried up all funding for social programs through excessive military costs, and security.

That's pretty good for a couple lies and a days work.

7. Wars drive up the price of commodities (read oil)

by creating artificial scarcities. Just wait until we move in on Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Halliburton et al; they're war-profiteering BIG time.
