Your tax dollars at work: Google "Parsons Iraq" for a Business Week Magazine article on the Parsons corp. ... currently being investigated by the Inspector General in Iraq for MASSIVE construction fraud and war-profiteering. Parson's spokespersons are naturally blaming their ineptitude on "the Government", while pocketing BILLIONS. (Sort of like HALLIBURTON??( Let me remind you, that NONE of this investigation occurred during the Republican-dominated administration) It now seems painfully obvious, that this war was NOTHING more than an excuse to "line-the-pockets" of corporate-contributors, and military-industrial "contractors"; a concept promoted by Dick-Head Cheney. Cheney's recent interview on the FOX "News/propaganda" network has reinforced my opinion of him.... He has worked SO LONG in the C.I.A. and with the "spooks", that he no longer has a grasp of reality. It now appears that he is TRULY delusional! He continues to claim that the "situation" in Iraq is improving, and that "progress" is being made; while ALL evidence points to the EXACT OPPOSITE! The chaos-of-war is the perfect setting for greedy, corrupt politicos and their financial-backers to pillage, steal, and pilfer from both Iraq and the American taxpayers. This week, it has been divulged, that the White House "filtered" and manipulated scientific research and publications regarding "Global Warming".....USING A LOBBYIST FROM THE "OIL-INDUSTRY"!!! Dick Cheney MUST be indicted, and prosecuted... for his criminal involvement in the Valerie Plame Wilson affair, as well as his illegal "secret" meetings with energy-industry officials. His incompetance is nothing less than criminal, immoral, and outrageous! Dick Cheney is the "poster-child" for the phrase: "Absolute power, corrupts absolutely". Cheney should be spending his "retirement" in a Federal Prison!! Is it possible for an "average" citizen to make a "citizen's arrest" of a Vice President?.... Maybe I'll go buy a pair of handcuffs, go to Washington, and find out!!!
