*: "This is serious business making – winning this war."

Bush to hit back on intelligence

<snip>

Mr Bush backed Mr Cheney's remarks. Looking tense and jabbing his finger, he denied he was accusing his opponents of being unpatriotic.

"They looked at the same intelligence I did, and they voted – many of them voted to support the decision I made. It's irresponsible to use politics," he said. "This is serious business making – winning this war."



:wtf:

Did he just have a Freudian slip? War is good for bizness?

1. "Voted to support the decision I made"
Does that mean he made the decision BEFORE October 12, 2002? And "war was a last resort"? Houston, we have a problem...

2. Always has been, always will be

War Is A Racket

It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
