How many billions did Bush and the Repubs give the oil companies?
just a few months ago? Perhaps in last years budget? As I recall, it was a humongous amount of money given to Big Oil. Does anyone recall the total? Was it like $7 billion dollars or something like that? And what did we get for it?

1. I have no idea. I'm still wondering, at $70+ per barrel...
Where the revenue for 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil went.

That's $140 million just for TODAY. (And how many days has it been since bush invaded?)

3. he gave them the US armed forces
to act as their very own private security force ... in dollars, the cost is approaching a trillion dollars just in Iraq ... you have to factor in Afghanistan and numerous other costs ... the real answer to your question is in the trillions ...

and that measures only dollar; not the lives that have been needlessly spent to feed their greed ...

and the longer bush stays in Iraq, the more Big Oil profits ...
