Mr. President, how much money has your family made from war and disaster?
Edited on Thu Mar-23-06 07:30 PM by grasswire
Barbara Bush's charity "donation" to Katrina victims opens the door for this question.

Mr. President, it was revealed that your mother donated money to the Katrina fund, but it was specially earmarked for purchase of the educational software owned by her son (your brother) Neil.

Given this news and your father's business interests, is your family ready to disclose all financial dealings and transactions related to wars and disasters from which any member or holding has profited or will profit?

3. it's quite a scam, really



One member of the family has the power to order young Americans to go and fight, and another member of the family has business interests that profit from war and disaster.

The family is enriching itself through the barrels of spilled blood, thousands of maimed men and women, thousands of weeping mothers and children, to say nothing of the human tragedy of Iraqis and the looting of the American treasury that requires Americans to give up their own benefits.

The Bush family is nothing but ghouls. Bloody hands. Evil hearts. An insatiable appetite for power and wealth.

2. One couldn't even begin to account for it all.
It is been a family business for generations.

6. it's time for the press to start where they can
Just start unraveling the threads. The American public can understand this story. How many millions of dollars were spent on just the simple transaction of Whitewater? How much coverage did the press provide?

Just start. I bet most Americans have no idea that the Bush family profits from war. But it's a story they can understand.

7. I think the more important question is...
How many human beings has the Bush Crime family murdered? By my guess including daddies little escapaed including the embargo against Iraq from 91 to 2003 easily a half million humans have died directly by actions initiated by this family of horrors!
