Spoils of War
Please, can someone explain how and why the American people can't or won't see through this sham of a government the Supreme Court has given us?
First, I read that post-war Iraq won't initially be administered by the United Nations, but rather solely controlled by the United States, with civilian administrators handpicked by the White House to oversee Iraq's "redevelopment." Then, I read on CNN/Money that the first contracts for rebuilding post-war Iraq have been awarded. And guess who is first in line to reap profit? Halliburton, whose former CEO is now Vice President Dick Cheney.
