Bucking Fush, part Deux

So, here we are 6 months after my last post, and three years into this stupid war that we had no business starting. (Or perhaps I should say "the war was started over business - specifically Halliburton, Bechtel Group, Fluor Corp, Parsons Corp, and the Louis Berger Group - the handful of businesses given wartime contracts worth ~ $1 billion. This total doesn't count the manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, Northrop-Grumman, General Dynamics, United Technologies, etc. that make their money directly off of the consumables used in this war - missiles, planes, bombs, bullets, etc. By the time it all gets added up, over $4 billion has been used on this fiasco. Just to remind you, numerically that is $4,000,000,000.00 - four thousand million.

I can't even finish this post, I'm so mad.....
