Why isn't anyone talking about how much money JR is making off the war?

[IdaBriggs]

His "daddy" is getting richer because of The Carlyle Group, Cheney and Halliburton's "no bid contracts" are an open secret, and as soon as "daddy" bites the big one, ALL THAT MONEY GOES TO JUNIOR AND HIS BROTHERS.

I understand "ethics" aren't something Republicans understand, but this war is Blood Money for these folks...but I haven't seen one story about it in the MSM. Nor have I heard any of the "dems" mention it -- EVER.

Is this just "too obvious to talk about?"

1. It goes deeper than that...

just about everybody making policy in this administration has some sort of financial stake in it. They're all making money hand over fist, but certainly Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are making the lion's share.

Multinational corporate control of the media keeps them complicit in not getting this out to the attention of the public.

4. Am I just being naive that this is "unethical" -- that folks "in charge"

shouldn't have a financial interest in the outcome? Or was I sleeping when that rule got changed?

[Virginia Dare]

5. There are ethics rules...

which can be skirted, circumvented and/or ignored, because at this point it is the foxes guarding the chicken coop.

Cheney claims he has no financial stake in Halliburton anymore which is a big fat entirely proveable lie, but everybody seems to accept it as fact.

The Pentagon is the biggest cess pool of corruption in the history of this country, it is sucking our treasury and our future dry. DHS is probably a close second.

Everybody, including the Democrats seem to look the other way. Maybe it will all come out one day, maybe not.
