flags on cars, houses reminds of 1976 Gerry Ford WIN buttons

WIN = Whip Inflation Now

modern version: show your flag if you support our troops
I want the best fate for each soldier
but I would like most generals and all of Bush-Cheney-Rummy to submit to a lobotomy

our leaders in military now mimic our leaders in financial sectors
totally unbelievable
full of hidden agendas and motives
lie to the public
no follow thru on promises
deception everywhere

the Halliburton deal irks me to no end
they packaged it as though only HAL could have handled the contract
reminds me of advertisements in old gradschool days at Carnegie Mellon
the Statistics (Sadistics) Dept wanted to rehire a Taiwanese professor
Wen had been there for two years (we called him Rin Tin Tin)
so the Dept worded a newspaper ad to exactly Wen's specs
and Wen got the job after two lame applicants inquired
same with Halliburton
word the contract exactly as only HAL can handle it
or close enough so a credible argument can be made
the CIA M.O. applies here "plausible deniability"

let's watch that $320 million found in strong boxes
see if it goes where it should, to the Iraqi food program

Iraqi dictatorship has now been replaced with Anarchy
next will be Islamic Republic, not democracy
but it doesnt matter, since illiterate Americans buy the absurd democracy line anyway

force a regime change
sell the democracy horseshit line
watch another Islamic Republic form (eventually hostile to USA)
we have seen this movie before
