According to Russell Brand Dick Cheney has strong ties with Halliburton.
Halliburton alone made $35 Billion from post-war contracts to rebuild Iraq.
The policy seems to be that you bomb the shit out of somewhere and then give your mates the contracts to clear the mess up.
This is called cronyism.
You get your poor people to bomb and shoot the hell out of poor people in another country so that rich people can make a killing.
The poor people doing the bombing have more in common with the poor people they are bombing than the rich people who are getting them to bomb.
This is the way capitalism works. It likes war, poverty and destruction – it feeds of it.

Yeah, and the contractors never got the work done.
They took the money though.
Yup. Despicable.
That’s the way the establishment operates.
