"More than 60 years after Prescott Bush came briefly under scrutiny at the time of a faraway war, his grandson is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some people, war can be a profitable business."

Never fear, all you Americans who have lost loved ones in the war of terror. For it was all for a good cause...to fill the pockets of Bush and his cronies.

'Nuff said.

Your logic is convoluted: Americans are paying for the rebuilding of Iraq, just as they "uselessly" paid for the rebuilding of Germany and Japan.

Your argument is misguided. Americans ARE paying for the rebuilding of Iraq.

Unfortunately for you and your kids, your government is borrowing money and giving it to giant US corporations like Haliburton and the like. You der schwarze Ritter are being saddled with a giant debt that you will never be able to pay off while rich corporations and their cronies get even richer thanks to you and the 300 million other americans.

None of this would matter to anyone outside the US if only the US hadn't killed 100,000 Iraqi's. To kill that many people just so that your government could extract more money from it's own citizens and give it to corporations is shameful.

The crazy part about it though is that US citizens are actually ok with all of this. 😞

Well it was fair enough for them to rebuild Germany after having make US companies so rich thanks to the Nazis, and destroying Japan was the only way to get the public opinion supporting their involvment in WWII.

9/11 was a great marketing move too to destroy Irak, and make US companies richer. And after all why bother about 2,000 of their own american citizen when you have already financed the nazis, and sacrifice tons of kids in vietnam, and killed a couple of elected president to keep the cash flowing in.

Ew...no.

This the information provided by the CIA, and other US national source.

How would I know otherwise?

You don't want me to believe and bovine caca liberal propaganda!

Still wondering what happened to those 2.3 trillions dollars that were missing the day before 9/11.

I wish my fellow americans had asked their president. But eh I know you guys are shy. Well I'll read the CIA confession on that in 50 years time - I aint in any hurry.

?? Surely public opinion had to support involvement in the war before Japan could be destroyed??

Put these events in chronological order:

1. US public opinion supports entering WW2

2. US destroys Japan in WW2


How can destroying Japan help with public opinion support for entering WW2?

Here's a little spread about, but very interesting fact about WWII...while we're on the subject.
In fact, there's some good news on it and some bad news; let me break with tradition and give you the bad news first:

Britain's debt to the US after WWII was $4.336 trillion.
To make things simple: A hell of a lot of money to have to pay back an alley, who by all definitions of media, Hollywood and soundbites, supported Britain from a moralistic point of view.

The good news is that Britain will pay off her last installment of this on the 31st of December 2006!

????? The article is about Bush's grandfather's ownership of stocks issued by German companies in the Nazi era. What exactly does that have to do with the present situation?

And I thought, according to you, the "war on terror" was a justified attempt to free all the people living under the yoke of Sharia law?
