Of course Iraq has a surplus . . . .
Of course Iraq has a surplus.
The Bush Administration decided that we must spend a large sum of money on Iraq, and not let the Iraqi government spend it themselves.
Why?
It’s simple.
If the Iraqi government spent the money themselves, and if they chose where and when to spend it, we could not funnel hundreds of billions of taxpayer funds into the hands of American corporations.
The Bush Administration would not be able to feed money to the corporations, companies, executives, and shareholders that BUSH/MCCAIN want to feed money to.
Think. If the Iraqi government had spent that 50 billion dollars it has in surplus, rather than have the American government supply them with 50 billion dollars of expenditures, how much of that money would have gone to Halliburton? How much to Dick Cheney cronies?
How much to KVR and their electrocuting showerheads?
How much to Lockheed Martin, who helped to lobby for the Iraq war?
How much to the friends of John McCain and Randy Scheunemann, who spearheaded the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and wrote the Iraq Liberation Act, setting the stage for the Iraq invasion long before September 11?
Watch for John McCain's next war by watching his campaign staff: he has hired lobbyists (like Charlie Black) for the worst dictators and terrorists the world has seen in recent decades. Including the Myanmar military junta.
Terrorists pay Charlie Black. McCain pays Charlie Black.
So that Charlie Black can do the same for both: help them seize power.
And that is what the post-Bush presidency is: the office of a dictator.
So as Iraq’s government looks more democratic, ours looks more despotic. As our government creates record budget deficits, Iraq sees a record surplus.
And we prepare for another war, another debt, another hill of corpses, and the further erosion of constitutional government, complete with lobbyist henchmen of dictators serving at the highest levels of government. Expect the next war to be easy. Not in the way that McCain described the Iraq War as an "easy" win, but as in "easy" to start.
Our potential new dictator, John McCain, has already declared that he only needs to "consult" with Congress before bombing Iran.
Heil, McCain!
