Money made by Bush officials directly/indirectly from Iraq

[EightySix Four]

A lot of people clam Bush and senior Bush officials made a lot of money from the war in Iraq, was there any direct proof of this?

This is absurd. Everyone knows Bush made his money orchestrating 9/11.

Also, any money contributed to his campaign by those benefitting from Iraq.

Hey, dont let facts get in the way of a good story. Like how we went to Iraq for Oil, but the Chinese got a bunch of the contracts, and we have put more $$ into Iraq than we will ever get out.

George who? The past is the past except for those stuck in it. There is a brand new guy to blame now.

But Saddam is dead and no longer poses us a threat so it was all worth it.

Coincidence that UBS just recently settled with the US Government, and now has to provide names of Americans with "Swiss Bank Accounts" (TM)?

Well I bet he made a lot of money financing all the movies and countless documentararies. Let's not forget, that the booming technology sector secretly funded to make sure home video camera's were cheap and plentiful so we could get as many videos as we could of the incident in NY, yet noting exists of the plane hitting the pentagon.

Well, if you want to read some interesting things that occurred during the Bush administration, try these:

Rolling Stone: The Great Iraq Swindle

Vanity Fair: Billions Over Baghdad

Vanity Fair: The People vs. The Profiteers

BBC: BBC Uncovers Lost Iraq Billions

NYT: Broken Supply Channel Sent Arms for Iraq Astray

I find it hard to believe that the Bush administration had no knowledge of what was going on.

I am looking forward to the day when THIS comes back to bite our wonderful former president in the ass.
