The bush regime exploited america when it was at it's weakest for their own far right agenda.

I keep hearing this "no-bid" contract for Haliburton. Having been CEO and CFO of my husband's construction corporation for 25 years, we often bid with the government. A few years back the government suddenly realized that putting a job out to bid and taking low bid was a serious mistake, costs tons of $'s it should not and was an open invitation for fraud. They changed their bidding program in "SOME" areas that bidding was used to only approving 3 bidders for that particular work/service/etc. in designated areas.

Do you know for a fact that Haliburton and the supplying of fuel, etc., did not fall under this bidding category? Do you know for a fact there were other "qualified" bidders that could provide the required service? And, remember this type of bidding restriction went into effect quite some time before 9/11.

excellent post. I also never understood why the conservatives weren't in the streets with the Saudi connections to the Bush family and their blatant profiteering. Seems to me to bring up serious treason issues.
Isn't providing safe refuge for our enemies a concern?

And why didn't we actually kill Bin Laden? there is far more to this story than we know.

As one of the liberals I find Obama's actions on the war horrific. He continues a pointless war that has NO purpose or possibility of success. It will cost 10's of thousands of lives and many billions in an economy that can't sustain it.

I never thought it would be any different than what we have, hence the reason I voted for Nader... I really did want the war to end and still do... this is the biggest concern I have with Obama.

For the economy I think he has done a remarkably good job. given the conditions he inherited.
