Where’s the Profit in Peace?
Cindy Sheehan may not be making any money off the war, but we couldn’t be happier! So America’s forces didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction; they’ve sustained massive casualties and they may have failed to rebuild Iraq, but they sure have provided us with unprecedented stock returns!
WHO NEEDS AN EXIT STRATEGY? WE’VE GOT A PROFIT STRATEGY!
With profits up 284% at Halliburton, this war is WAY too good to stop now. Still not convinced? Let’s think about all the other ways the Iraq War is great for the corporate elite:
$ To the Victor Go the Spoils!
Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root flat out LOST $1.8 Billion taxpayer dollars in Iraq, but that didn’t stop the US Army from awarding them an additional $70 Million in “award” fees.
Don’t know what “award” fees are? Neither do we, but we’ll take ‘em!
$ Protect Our Contractors!
Have no fear, AECOM, General Electric, Raytheon, Exxon-Mobil, ConocoPhilips:
George W. Bush has the whole military out there to safeguard your profits. Just think about how they rushed to protect Iraq’s oil wells at the start of the war, while museums and hospitals were looted. Our private contractors even have the contractual right to withhold services if they deem conditions too dangerous.
It is a war zone, after all…but whether we deliver those meals or not, we get paid anyway!
$ PERMA-WAR
This whole War on Terror thing is just what we’ve been looking for: a neverending profit generator!
As George W. Bush puts future generations of Americans further into hoc to pay for our massive no-bid military contracts, we have to keep ‘em scared so they keep their wallets open and their mouths shut.
In the quest for infinite profits, every penny counts. Thanks, kids.
$ Old Enough for Fractions? You’re Old Enough for the Army!
Billionaires for Bush’s War wholeheartedly support sending recruiters into public schools. (As long as they stay in poor neighborhoods—Leave Choate Alone!) Sixth grade seems like a great year to start training for the dangerous job of defending our bottom line.
And excuse us, but has anyone else noticed the thousands of Gulf Coast refugees just sitting around in shelters? Why not send them to fight in Baghdad?
And what are we doing allowing soldiers to come home to the Gulf Coast to salvage their ruined communities? Billionaires For Bush’s War say, “National Guard, Get Back on Track! Out of New Orleans and Into Iraq!”
Support The War, Not the Troops
Sure Halliburton serves spoiled food and contaminated water to the troops. But hey, buy another bumper sticker or magnet ribbon and stop asking questions, there’s a war going on and this is no time to worry about details! Bigger bumber stickers! Bigger bumpers!
War? What is it good for?
If you have to ask, you’ll never understand.
But to make it easier, here’s a simple graphic:
