War and Profit: War IS profit

Please note that Libery Forum is a conservative web site. This belies the popular myth that anyone who objects to Bush's criminal war is, somehow, unAmerican.
Re: RE: War and Profit: War IS profit
indeed. note that , it is lucrative for a select few. Blood money, money obtained on the lives of innocents... Blood money obtained on the lives of many fine troops.
there has been nothing honorable about this current US disaster, but money is more important than true honor and integrety.
(the American "dream" taken to extreme???? or would this fascination/greed for the almighty $$$$ be an eventual nightmare??

War is one hell of a racket isn't it!
Precisely why Eisenhower condemned the Military Industrial Complex in his farewell speech. He, a military man, knew more than anyone that war is hell and that it is promoted by those with financial interests in them.

Peace is also quite a profit.
The Italians selling land mines, stockpiles of which were found after the war.
The French and Germans building nuclear facilities, one of which was bombed by Israel in 1981.
The Russians building oil infrastructure.
All collusion. The big business of this big 3 loved hiding behind the 20 year old Euro peace protestors. Maybe such protesting would have lifted the embargo.
War racketeering ?
It doesn't compare even remotely to what those 3 countries were up to prior to this 2nd war in Iraq.

Given the choice Peace profit over War profit varies little in its potential for great danger.
The French, Germans and Russians counted on such a simplistic view in order to give Saddam nuclear capability and to do great business with him seeing their chance for their own personal Saudi Arabia and what better than to hide behind the nobility of a view such as yours.
10 more years of Saddam with nuclear capability firmly in place and 10 more years of sponsoring children suicide bombers in Palestine, and giving fruition to Saddam's wish that nuclear power would stop any invasion of him, after he had initiated 2 wars, one on Iran and one on Kuwait.
Have fun.
At least it's the profit of peace !!!

Re: RE: War and Profit: War IS profit
the US HAS nuclear capability.......yet wants no one else to have it.
The US has ,by virtue of its actions , increased the threat of terrorism into global proportions....and is guilty of fostering terrorism, by angering the nations it abuses.
The "suicide bombers " in Iraq for eg.......would not be active , if it were not for the US invasion. Suicide bombers and other terrorist atrocities would not be taking place in the nations that have been involved in Iraq. Iraq invasion has become the epicenter for terrorist growth .
Meanwhile the fat cats of Washington are getting richer.
Meanwhile the troops and a multitude of innocents are killed , dying and maimed. .......and a nation's infrastructure has been destroyed......

Answer- where did you get these strange notions from? They are just bizarre with no basis of fact.
Poison meet jimmy..what can you say about jimmy...cept well maybe the dude summed it up best... Shit, I know that guy. He's a nihilist. :? :? :?

answer - but if the nihilists win, we all lose, even the nihilists. All that would be left is existential dispair. But in this thread, there is the hope that those who profit from war can be brought to awareness that they have much to lose through war. Perhaps this is one of the roots of terrorism, a frustration from the certain knowledge that you will never influence your true enemy.

RE: War and Profit: War I
More accurate to say that war is very profitable for those in the business of war - it sux for everyone else.
I further suggest all US posters be banned immediately since they ban us pacifist Canucks from all their warmongering forums of sycophantic pimp Bush apologists and USA! rah rah mob mentality apes cheerleading for racism, hatred and bigotry.
Let the Yanks post their Lord of the Flies worldview to each other.
/just a suggestion

So....you believe in censorship and banning other voices/opinions in a democratic country? How does this work - even on the internet?
Especially on the internet?
I would venture you did a pretty neat exercise yourself of racism, hatred and bigotry, and I'll throw in the old buzz word prejudice too. Not very Canadian of you. Canadians represent much more tolerance than you have shown here.
Cheer up - there are better things ahead for you today - it can't all be that bad.

Because neo-con policies are basically a wealth transfer scheme. They take from the poor and give to rich. The poor don't have enough to keep up with the rate of transfer though, so now the neo-cons are taking from the grandchildren of the poor.
