$ Investors in Iraq, Lets Investigate them (reaming the US taxpayer)
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 08:31 AM by Mari333
ASHINGTON, Sept. 29 — A group of businessmen linked by their close ties to President Bush, his family and his administration have set up a consulting firm to advise companies that want to do business in Iraq, including those seeking pieces of taxpayer-financed reconstruction projects.>>>>>

1. Why is it easy to cut checks for Iraq - while US social needs are not met
We install universal health in Iraq -

but not in the US?

2. I wonder how it would turn out if
Shrub and a consortium of PNACers privately funded the next $600 million in the hunt for WMD? I wonder if they'd go for it if the US govt. said, "It's your deal. If you find WMD as defined by xxx, then we'll repay your $600M plus 10%, but we aren't wasting any more taxpayer money on your boondoggle."

My guess is they would find a way to fake the WMD find.
