Who's profiting off the war?

Sorry I haven't been around as much. I hope to be back more...But it's been a bit hectic lately.

Anyway, for my first post in a while......I want to touch on an issue of war and profits from the war.

I recently watched a movie called "Why We Fight" which was a movie I encourage all to see. I think what everyone really needs to realize is that the system now is meant to support the industrial-military complex.

I know everyone is well acquainted with Haliburton and Cheney. However, I want to introduce you to another Political family that is profiting from the Iraqi war.

Intoducing....for your pleasure....Sen Feinstein and her husband.....

The wishy-washy senator now claims Bush misled her leading up to the invasion of Iraq. I don't think she's being honest with us though; there may have been other reasons she helped sell Bush's lies. According to The Center for Public Integrity, Senator Feinstein's husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire investor wields 75 percent of Perini's voting share.

In April 2003 the US Army Corps of Engineers dived out $500 million to Perini to provide services for Iraq's central command. A month earlier in March 2003, Perini was awarded $25 million to design and construct a facility to support the Afghan National Army near Kabul. And in March 2004, Perini was awarded a hefty contract worth up to $500 million for "electrical power distribution and transmission" in the southern Iraq.

Senator Feinstein, who sits on the Appropriations Committee as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping the benefits of her husband's investments. The Democratic royal family recently purchased a 16.5 million dollar mansion in the flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. It's a disgusting display of war profiteering and the leading Democrat, just like Cheney, should be called out for her offense.

And that's exactly why the Bush administration is so darn bullet-proof. The Democratic leadership in Washington is just as crooked and just as callous.

Enjoy my friends....if any fool believes that voting for Democrats will change anything...both parties are in the pockets of the business world....actually, this is probably a futile argument. Nevermind, return back to your reality TV and the so called News.
