This piece doesn't claim direct economic benefit to Bush or associates.
The value of the piece is that it details government policy in truer terms than the boogeyman rhetoric created by propagandists.
But in ref to your question, it's hard to believe you are serious. Considering Nixon, Bush/Reagan, Bush/Quayle and Bush/Cheney have been in the thick of it since the '70s, and with any casual look at the resumes and business dealings of their associates and partners, one would conclude an enormous flow of influence, deals, and dollars.
Perhaps you are one who believes the canon that "Bush is only a millionaire, not like those super-rich guys", but after listening to various scraps of the last 30 years from the Nixon tapes on, I'm dubious. Not that it matters. The policies that benefit rich and super-rich are fine with me, I'm happy with that, and even happier if they are Americans, who might benefit other Americans in general.
However, considering the lies that are told, I don't trust the predatory nature of these business and political operators who have zero concern for the country which they manipulate and benefit from, and the lives of those they cheerfully send to their deaths for their own profit.
As much as I think he's a world-class criminal, at least Bush Senior flew a jet in the war. The rest of these money-grubbing chickenhawks lie to get the public to die for them. And after all, it's the public's money going into these adventures, and creating the chickenhawk's political and economic benefit.
That is the subtext of the article, when you combine facts with confused and stumbling Washington rhetoric chanting about "war", when the chant should clearly be "oil".
The public should be given the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and make collective decisions on going to war for these purposes. |
