Unfortunately, Americans are known to have a memory that doesn't last longer than an orgasm. As soon as they experience a prosperity, they are ready to send GOP, the grim reaper, to create havoc all over again.

I am also a big fan of Rep. Henry Waxman and his efforts to ferret out the truth from the Bush Administration. rcampbell,

I remember well hearing GWB warn a world reluctant to join him in his coalition-of-the-bribed that if they didn't sign on they would be shut out of the anticipated lucrative spoils once the Iraqi Treasury was sacked and the oil revenues available for exploitation. They privatized the entire supply chain at enormous additional costs to US taxpayers and then hired enough mercenaries (more specifically hired Blackwater who hires killers from all over the world) to equal the number of US soldiers. Except the mercenaries make 4x-10x a soldier's pay. Kudos to Rep Henry Waxman for beginning the daunting effort to shine some light of truth on these war profiteering cockroaches.

Let's not forget the constant overbilling stories that have been published. This is another area where Congress needs to grow a pair and get the KBR officials under oath and see what they will lie about under oath. This war profiteering may have been alright for Grandpa Prescott Bush, but it should be stopped in its tracks right here.
