If we develop diplomatic ties with the “<br /> axis of evil” or any other country that they can stir up hysteria over, then tax dollars will be shifted to social programs. Clearly spelled out in their plan for American defenses.</p> I am not baffled by Boltons stand on the release of the journalists. If we develop diplomatic ties with the “

My contention is not how John Bolton would profit from any specific deed but rather how that group as a whole will use their position with the government to allow the industry to become larger and more powerful than the government. It is important to note who the players are in that group.</p> Politicians, weather elected or appointed, to avoid the question of ethics, will receive their “big bag of money” after they have held there position.

When you say that he’s in it for money, you need to show the big bag of money.</p> That’s meaningless in supporting your contention.Nothing in having a career points to insincerity rather than believing in hegemony.

The liberal philosophy is to have a government that actually serves the interests of the people who pay those taxes and the conservatives feel that it is their interests that should be protected at all costs.</p> That story just emphasizes the difference between the liberal and the conservative philosophy on diplomacy.

What he did was go in and fire all the members of the Bath party, which was essentially everybody. They also cut loose the Iraqi army. The anarchy that ensued turns out to be incredibly profitable for Hallburton, Blackwater and all of their preferred contractors. He then graduated to the World Bank. Where he was tossed out for screwing on the banks dime.</p> I recall how Paul Wolfiwitcz was sent to Iraq to build the government.

In their Rebuilding Americas Defenses sheet they clearly state that given the limited resources of the tax revenue stream, every dollar that is allocated to a social program, that dollar is in direct competition with defense spending. And that goes a long way to explain why there is conservative backlash on a public health option and how they can stack the media to brainwash us.</p> Without reading into PNAC its hard to understand that peace and victory are not the objective of the rethugs.
