I was musing yesterday on how tens of billions of taxpayer dollars are 
providing huge profits for major U.S. companies in Iraq, as they 
expensively rebuild homes/hospitals/churches/schools/roads/bridges and 
oil/water/electricity/waste disposal facilities that we destroyed with 
expensive bombs and missiles delivered by expensive airplanes and rockets. 
Did I mention lives?

The Iraq Invasion and aftermath has taken corporate welfare to 
stratospheric levels while some stalwart values-laden citizens still decry 
modest assistance for U.S. hungry humans.

The wool has been nicely pulled. The sell has been made. Don'cha wish you 
were a FOGGER (Friend of Georger)?
