Hollywood Greed

Why is Hollywood always so desperate for money, so much so, they are willing to break the law and damage innocent people in the process. A prime example of this is Joseph Medawar, who was featured on the program "American Greed" this week. The so-called Hollywood producer, paid a U.S. senator, Dana Rohrabacher, $23,000 for a 30-year-old screenplay, which granted him unfettered access to political circles in Washington, including crooked George W. Bush, who he took a photo with.

Medawar erected a website with a trailer, for a yet to be filmed show entitled "Department of Homeland Security" and used it to solicit money from investors. He then fleeced a California church congregation, requesting money from them as investments in his company, hinging on the yet to be released television series, backed by Washington and Hollywood, which is never a good combination. Hollywood and Washington together are crooks leading the crooks.

Medawar played on the church's patriotism, charity and Christianity (much like Bush deceitfully did during his presidency) and fleeced them out of $3,000,000. Church members took out second mortgages on their homes, while others gave out of their hard earned life savings, as they believed Medawar and his claims of a positive return on their investments, which would also allegedly be helping the country. Medawar even went so far as to release false financial reports to church investors, claiming the filmed show and company was now worth $200,000,000, when neither were worth the paper the statement was printed on.

It was all lies. Medawar never filmed one single episode and the trailer posted on his website to lure investors, contained stolen, copyrighted infringing footage, he pilfered from others and pieced together, then added graphics over, with the title "Department Of Homeland Security" to customize it (he must be related to Madonna).

Churchgoers lost their lifesavings and homes. Medawar was arrested, but due to his political connections, received 1 year in prison, which amounted to even less time served and has not repaid a single dime, racking up $5,000,000 in losses. He squandered investors' money on lavish trips, living in a $40,000 per month Beverly Hills mansion he leased and shopping on Rodeo Drive for expensive clothes and jewelry.

Once again, the government, via the FBI, DOJ and Congress, failed the American people, as anyone that engaged in such damaging crimes against the public, should have served at least 20-years in prison and be forced to make financial restitution.

The ironic part is, with the $5,000,000 he stole from investors, he could have filmed the show and it could have been successful. However, Medawar, did not have the talent, ability or know how to write, prudently film, hire actors at a reasonable fees and shop the show. It's always the ones without the creative talent doing the stealing.

Wikileaks Exposes U.S. Gov Corruption In Afghanistan

U.S. President Barack Obama and General David Patraeus

The website www.Wikileaks.org has leaked 96,000 classified documents labeled "secret" regarding the U.S. government's war in Afghanistan. The leak revealed many civilians have been killed in Afghanistan and the U.S. government covered it up, ordering press blackouts to ensure the public did not find out.

There are incidents where the U.S. government engaged in retaliatory fire that killed unarmed, unengaged civilians on buses and public streets. There is an incident where they opened fire on a deaf mute running away from them, killing him in cold blood. This massacre must stop. Not only is it morally wrong and abhorrent, it is fueling terrorism to heinous degrees.

Wikileaks has provided a service to the American people. They have illustrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that George W. Bush's war in Afghanistan, being continued by President Obama, is based in corruption, deceit, treachery and fraud. It is wasting billions in taxpayer money and worst of all, human lives.

Former President George W. Bush

It was recently revealed, Afghanistan is home to one of the world's largest deposits of natural minerals, worth $1 trillion dollars and the U.S. government has installed a team in the region to explore and excavate it.

This is the true source of the war in Afghanistan - controlling wealth. Much like the war in Iraq is about controlling Iraqi oil, as prior to the combat that began in 2003, former Vice President, Dick Cheney, publicly remarked, Iraq has the potential to be the world's biggest oil supplier. Scientist have since stated the same.

One thing the government did not count on is insurgents fighting back with such fury, at the destruction of their homelands and death of their people. Men, women, children, babies and grandparents have died gruesome deaths with national infrastructures destroyed, diminishing their quality of life, via having to go without electricity and other modern conveniences. Is there any wonder it increased terrorist attacks against the West, which are not justified either. The conflict must stop on both ends.

Former MI5 Chief: War Made Terrorism Worse


The former head of Britain's MI5 (Military Intelligence), disputed claims made by former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, regarding the Iraq war. Eliza Manningham-Buller discredited Blair's George W. Bush fed assertions that Iraq was connected to Al Qaeda and other terrorist factions.

Manningham-Buller stated during the Chilcot Inquiry this week, that as a result of the Iraq war, terrorist incidents grew exponentially, as people began to believe, "The West is attacking Muslims."

Eliza Manningham-Buller

Former U.S. President Bush and his V.P., Dick Cheney, concocted the fake war, whose real mission was to steal oil and Blair went along with it, due to America's "Special Relationship" with Britain. To this day, Brits are still angry with Blair over his decision and Americans are enraged with Bush.

Tony Blair (left) and George W. Bush (right)

At the end of the day, no matter how you slice it, Bush is an evil psychopath, who spooled many into his madness that brought the world to the edge of financial destruction and despair. He belongs in the Hague.

Barack Obama

America's current President, Barack Obama has promised to end the war, but no real steps have been taken to do so, only the issuance of unfulfilled promises that shall hamper America's growth for a long time to come.

Obama Can't Count!

U.S. President Barack Obama to financial expert Warren Buffett: So, what you're saying is 1+1 makes 2?!

When one looks at the national expenditures, one automatically comes to the conclusion, dear Obama simply cannot count. The nation was already in massive debt, when he took over, thanks to former U.S. President, George "I Can't Pronounce My Words" Bush, but Obama's spending, with no end in sight, has made it significantly worse.

The nation needs a frugal President, who is not afraid to say no to certain types of spending and isn't indebted to special interests, for helping him get elected. Without that, America is not going to make a full financial recovery anytime soon.

Obama Goes On Vacation Again

U.S. President Barack Obama

Being President must really be hard, as Obama has gone on vacation again, this time to Maine, under much criticism for doing so. According to reports, Obama has taken more vacations in his first year in office, than any other President in U.S. history did during their first year in office.

This is particularly ironic, considering the U.S. economy is in the worst state it has even been. Obama certainly didn't create the problem. George W. Bush did in 8-years flat. However, Obama has made it worse with his excessive national spending and as such, he needs to cut down on the vacations and focus more on the economy.

Obama Rep Equates Economy With Cancer

Erksine Bowles

On July 11, 2010, the co-chairman of U.S. President Barack Obama's Debt Commission, Erksine Bowles, compared the declining American economy to cancer. He said the current national budget and debit is and I quote, "a cancer that will destroy the country from within."

Yes, I know. I said that already 2-years ago in the article The Global Bush Effect: "It's a financial cancer, that due to international cross collateralization and open-end monetary instruments, is metastasizing, when the problem should have been detected early, and there were symptoms, isolated, contained, then the appropriate treatment applied."

It's amazing that 2-whole-fiancially-painful-years later and the government still has not improved and is in the same financial sinkhole, only deeper. It's astonishing that it's taken all that time for the government to realize this fact. However, the question is, what are you going to do about it, as talk is cheap.

Side Bar: Don't talk about cancer around Obama. He will break out a shovel and dig up his best manure in your direction. You would think with someone that smokes the way he has and does, he'd have a vested interest in curing the disease.

Obama's debt commission warns of fiscal 'cancer'

Monday, July 12, 2010 - BOSTON -- The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission offered an ominous assessment of the nation's fiscal future here Sunday, calling current budgetary trends a cancer "that will destroy the country from within" unless checked by tough action in Washington.

The two leaders -- former Republican senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton -- sought to build support for the work of the commission, whose recommendations due later this year are likely to spark a fierce debate in Congress.

Bowles said that unlike the current economic crisis, which was largely unforeseen before it hit in fall 2008, the coming fiscal calamity is staring the country in the face. "This one is as clear as a bell," he said. "This debt is like a cancer."...

Michael Steele Under Fire For Afghanistan Comments


U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama

The head of the U.S. Republican Party, Michael Steele, has come under fire from his own comrades, for stating the war in Afghanistan, is of U.S. President Barack "Obama's choosing." That is inaccurate. What he should have stated is continuing with former President George W. Bush's war in Afghanistan is Obama's choosing.

However, as the fact stands, Bush started this ill-fated war in 2001. He then proceeded to initiate a deceitful war in Iraq during 2003 that featured him lying to the world about its true purpose.

Republican Party head, Michael Steele

It was not about liberation or freedom, but the theft of Iraqi national assets, namely oil, as they are sitting on the largest deposit in the world. The blood thirsty, underachieving maniac cost U.S. and Iraqi families their children and as such belongs in the Hague.

No revisionist theories shall change what Bush has done in world history, but the future is yet to be written and something tells me justice will win out and bring him to accountability, within the confines of the law.

Greed And Desperation To Succeed

U.S. President Barack Obama (left)

It's astonishing the deceitful, corrupt shortcuts and unethical means, some in so-called power will take to succeed, even if it means, jeopardizing the entire nation.

Unsound financial practices continue from the Bush Administration, as President Obama has adopted items from the former Commander-in-Chief's tenure, into his own wanton economic policies.

The nation is constantly being told of a recovery, yet data being released, consistently reveals no such thing is happening in America, as job losses, foreclosures and bank closures continue to spiral out of control.

Pride is an ugly thing, when one ascribes to the motto of "my way or the highway" even when one's way is the wrong way. Some humility and unity is needed. People need to admit they do not know everything and need help.

Muslim Protesters Attack British Soldiers

This week, anti-British, Muslim protesters in England, Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC), booed and spat at returning UK soldiers, who were stationed in Afghanistan.

The protest at the homecoming parade for the soldiers erupted into violence. Protesters should have had the decency to stay away from this particular event.

While the Judiciary Report does not agree with the wars in the Middle East, as George W. Bush lied to everyone about their true purpose, disrespecting soldiers by booing and spitting at them, is completely inappropriate and disgraceful.

Why Is Obama Shielding Halliburton

Have They Promised Him Something

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, has been shielding Halliburton from public ridicule and responsibility in the Louisiana oil spill, shifting all the blame to BP, who contracted the former to drill and maintain a now broken well, in conjunction with Transocean, 5,000 feet below sea level.

Halliburton is filthy rich, with billions in cash and assets. The company earns $12 billion annually. The war in Iraq was fought for companies such as Halliburton, to gain a monopoly on Iraq oil.

Not only did they commandeer Iraqi oil, they were given billions in U.S. taxpayer money to rebuild Iraq, a country that should not have been blown up in the first place.

BP CEO, Tony Hayward, in the U.S. Congress

However, due to former Vice President Dick Cheney's greed, as a one-time employee of the company, who maintains lucrative financial ties to Halliburton, this madness took place, in collusion with George W. Bush, as the American people were lied to and duped. Bush admitted in an interview he thought "the oil would pay for the war" which is appalling.

Once again, in a terrible, unprecedented crisis that has damaged America, the name Halliburton has surfaced. People need to ask questions why. America has many great companies, but Halliburton has inflicted more damage on this nation than any in recent memory.

BP was forced into shelling out $20 billion dollars in a trust fund this week, regarding damage in Louisiana, when Halliburton is a major culprit in this environmental crisis, yet has gotten away relatively Scot free, as Obama tries to dismantle a foreign company, much to the offense of Britain, that outsourced work to America, an ally. Halliburton should have been made to pay as well.

U.S. Gov Finds $1 Trillion In Minerals In Afghanistan


Former U.S. President George W. Bush

According to Yahoo News, the U.S. Geological Society, has found $1 trillion dollars in precious metals in the Middle Eastern country of Afghanistan. However, it is in an area controlled by the terrorist faction, the Taliban.

Many are stating this is the reason for the U.S. government's war in Afghanistan, much like many have attributed the war in Iraq, that was based on lies in the name of Weapons of Mass Destruction, only for millions of barrels of Iraqi oil to have gone missing under Bush and Halliburton.

Many have suspected for quite sometime that Afghanistan potentially held a fortune in natural minerals, such as gold and lithium. Now that it has been confirmed, people are wondering who will control it. This wealth should benefit the people of Afghanistan, to modernize their nation and educate their citizens, as it is their national property and heritage.

Celluloid Film Review - Bring It On Again

Title: Bring It On Again

Year Of Release: 2004

Review Date: May 31, 2010

Rating: PG-13

Running Time: 90 minutes

Box Office Gross: N/A

Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

"Bring It On Again" is the sequel to the annoying "Bring It On" films that are back and more cruel than its predecessors. It revolves around a high school cheerleading squad's ruthless pursuit of national domination.

They operate like a new world order cult, even invoking the name of one time, real live cheerleader, former President, George W. Bush. It's your typical high school film and as such, it becomes non-descript and indistinct.

Gallup Poll: 74% Of Americans Dissatisfied With Country's Direction

U.S. President Barack Obama

A Gallup poll revealed a whopping 74% of Americans are dissatisfied with the direction the country is going in. Too bad the government is not listening, as unproven financial and social policies threaten to uproot America as the nation knows it, replacing it with a financially weakened, socialized society run by a government that ceases to recognize its democratic roots.

America is going in the wrong direction. However, the commanders of the ship, are intent on having their way, with the will of the people a secondary concern. Obama is succumbing to all the pitfalls Bush did, in believing the hype and not making the relation that it is about the office of the presidency and not them.

The fawning, special attention and international focus may make it seem like the world revolves around the man, but it is the office of the Presidency people are focusing on and what it means for them if things unravel.

To make the mistake of letting the title go to one's head, believing one is invincible and can do whatever one pleases, whether it is legal but immoral or illegal and based in corruption, is self-deceit that will bring one down to the lowest levels of society. Just ask President Bush and Nixon, who left office in disgrace.

When a head of state forgets who they are, believing they are greater than the job or it is solely about them, they inevitably fall at the hands of an angry populace.

Bush forgot who he was and engaged in treachery to get ahead that ended up setting the nation back decades, breaking him and regrettably America in the process. Obama has broken campaign promises and is recklessly spending America into a financial catastrophe, as poor oversight of the corporate sector continues.

His FBI and DOJ do not have a firm grasp on the terrorism problem that threatens America in so many ways, with hateful plotters making plans for new attacks on American buildings and airlines.

Said government agencies are more interested in how much money they can extract from Congress, who has been free with the national checkbook, issuing taxpayer funded checks, subsiding failure at the FBI and DOJ, who can't even get a computer system together, where many millions of dollars are unaccounted for.

The CIA continues to cause offense in the international community with illegal operations that defies everything America says it stands for in the world. Smaller nations have been bullied and upended by individuals acting on behalf of the U.S. government, creating unnecessary ill-will in the world, endangering Americans. It's a vicious cycle.

At the end of the day, this is not what the average American wants. That is someone else's political agenda on steroids. The average American wants a home, a stable job, proper education for their children, a reliable car and financial stability.

The political conflicts and financial corruption in government and the corporate sector, is a terrible sideshow being run by less than 1% of the U.S. population, also known as the rich and famous, who clearly have too much time and money on their hands to be creating this mischief, negatively impacting the rest of the nation and the world.

The FBI And Mobile Phone Spying

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

People use their mobile phones to call others for business and personal reasons, in addition to taking photos, surfing the internet and sending emails. The Judiciary Report and its sister site, the Sound Off Column, have insisted for years in articles, the FBI has been spying on Americans, in violation of the U.S. Constitution and secretly so. Scandal after scandal and official government oversight reports, later confirmed allegations first broken by the sites.

Previously, the sites stated, the FBI has been spying on Americans without warrant, via mobile phones, among other things. A report this week on the CBS4 news site in Miami, revealed cases are being thrown out of court by judges, because of warantless mobile phone wiretapping by the FBI and its parent agency, the DOJ.

Nefarious non-government workers are also getting in on the act, especially in Hollywood, infecting people's mobile phones with spyware, enabling them to illegally listen into their conversations, read confidential emails, view private photos contained on the units, see web searches and turn the device into an audio bug that allows unlawful eavesdroppers to listen into conversation taking place in the room (your home, car, office ect).

Worst of all, the spyware can be used to illegally turn on your mobile phone camera/video feature and spy on you, in what is known as a roving bug, which is sick and perverse, much like the voyeur crimes committed in the Blake Robbins v. Lower Merion School District case. The only way to stop the spying is to take out your mobile phone battery.

The FBI has been criminally misusing this technology to spy on innocent people, searching for tips and other items, to grant them a political, commercial and social advantage. U.S. Presidents have benefited from the FBI's misconduct in this regard as well.

Many writers, such as myself, whose publications and websites are stocked with scoops, have been unlawfully turned into FBI informants without our knowledge or consent, as the agency illegally spies on well-connected journalists and bloggers, to pathetically share in scoops, exclusives and tips, before they are published to the internet and in print.

This is the FBI's insane and pathetic attempt at staying ahead of the curve, whilst egregiously violating the U.S. Constitution, at innocent people's expense. Then, FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, passes around illegally obtained, invasive items gleamed from innocent surveillance targets, to whomever he feels like in government and the private sector, in conduct that is absolutely dirty and dishonorable.

The U.S. Congress has failed to stop this criminal misconduct, which some of them have benefited from and illegally so. However, whether they realize it or not, the aforementioned misuse of technology, poses a severe danger to national security.

If a non-government worker or foreign entity, secretly uses the aforementioned tactics on members of Congress, they could listen into high ranking, classified, closed session meetings, simply by targeting a senator's mobile phone, with inexpensive malware and spyware.

If they target the mobile phones belonging to the family members of Congress people, they could also spy on the entire family in their home, by default and eventually hear and see things they are not entitled to under the law, which could also damage national security. After all, many people take their work home.

Even the U.S. White House could be infiltrated in this manner, via U.S. President Barack Obama's Blackberry mobile phone or those belonging to any member of his cabinet or the property's staff.

May 4, 2010 10:01 am US/Eastern I-Team: Cell Phone Spy Dangers

E-mail MIAMI (CBS4) ? A CBS4 I-Team investigation into your safety and security raises troubling questions about your cell phone and how it might be used against you...

"It takes about 90 seconds to download the spyware and you're in business," said Wilcox of some versions of this software that can be loaded onto someone's cell phone.

The spyware is a lurking danger that turns your cell phone into a secret listening device, an instrument used to spy against you. Worse yet, you'll likely never know it is on your phone.

"There could be anywhere from three to five or six million cell phones that are infected with spyware (at any one time)," said Wilcox...

To find out exactly how this all works, the CBS4 I-Team bought and installed several versions of spyware on anchor Jawan Strader's blackberry. We did all of this with his knowledge and participation...

But once the I-Team got the software working, the capability was scary. The I-Team could read all of Jawan's e-mails. The I-Team read all of his text messages.

I-Team investigator Stephen Stock also got alerts on his cell phone every time Jawan got a call, an e-mail or a text. That way Stock could monitor Jawan's incoming communication at all times.

And even though Jawan met meeting behind closed doors with news director Cesar Aldama and assistant news director Nick Bourne, even with the blackberry turned off, investigator Stock could still dial in and listen to the conversation while standing several miles away.

And the closed-door meetings' participants would never have known that Stock was listening had the I-Team not told them. Remember the cell phone was off. Despite that, Stock was able to use the spyware to dial in and listen using the Blackberry's speaker feature. Experts say that same thing can be done using a cell phone's camera feature.

The spyware also allows someone to listen in on cell phone calls in real time, as they are happening...

In fact, the federal government is using this technology to check out American citizens without a warrant.

The I-Team learned of a half dozen cases across the country in states as varied as New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania, where federal magistrates were asked to throw out cases because federal agents had tracked people in real time through their cell phone. In these cases this cell phone monitoring took place without a hearing, without a warrant without even legal probable cause.

One of the cases has now gone to a Federal Court of Appeals in Pennsylvania.

"It's an incredibly intrusive thing for the government to be able to track you," said Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Stanley heads the technology and liberty program at the American Civil Liberties headquarters in Washington, D.C. The ACLU has joined some of the court cases listed above in fighting some of the federal prosecutors' actions.

"It's not that hard if you're a bad guy then they can get a warrant on you. If you're not a bad guy then why do they want to track you?" said Stanley...

"If I told somebody back in 1975, 'You know what, in 30 years every American practically is going to be carrying a tracking device with them that tells the government everywhere they go live and in real time,'" said Stanley. "That person would have said I guess that means the Soviet Union is going to win the Cold War."

U.S. Stock Market Plummets 1000 Points

Vice President Joe Biden (left) and President Barack Obama (center)

The U.S. stock market wildly fluctuated today, even plummeting 1,000 points at one point, on the news of economic turmoil coming out of Greece and the massive oil spill on the east coast of America.

America is steeped in a terrible financial depression, where historic records have been set in the number of foreclosures and company collapses. Certain U.S. states have also recorded a record number of job losses. Yet, during this financial turmoil, the U.S. stock market kept soaring, with seemingly nothing to back it up.

Greece Riots

The U.S. Financial crisis of 2008, which began in Corporate America, has negatively impacted America and the world, in an ongoing and devastating depression that has not yielded. The fallout from which, can been seen today, in riots currently transpiring in Greece. Other nations such as Britain and Iceland have suffered massive job and economic losses.

An international effort is needed to create failsafes for the global economy, lest the same crisis reboots itself in America, but at worst levels and spreads all over the world again (as predicted last week).

Greece Riots

Wall Street is in dire need of regulation. There is still a massive amount of financial fraud in Corporate America. The SEC, FBI and DOJ, have done a terrible job in stemming the problem, costing millions in America and the world, all they have worked for in their lives.

This simply is not moral, just or decent. It poses a severe danger to the economic survival and development of the world and something needs to be done. There is no such thing as easy money. It always comes at a price. There is no substitute for hard work and honesty.

Times Square Bombing Suspect Nearly Got Away

Faisil Shahzad

An Associated Press article claims, "the no-fly list failed to keep the Times Square suspect off the plane" bound for Dubai, enroute to Pakistan, as Faisal Shahzad fled America, after attempting to blow up the famous New York landmark with a weird Wiley Coyote bomb.

Faisil Shahzad

Shahzad became "spooked by news reports that investigators were seeking a Pakistani suspect in Connecticut" - meaning he racially profiled himself.

Attorney General Eric Holder bragged at a press conference yesterday...when the suspect almost got away

The article goes on to state, Shahzad was under surveillance, but "managed to elude investigators and head to the airport." An FBI agent probably stopped to get a donut and lost him for a bit. If it was this poser, he probably stopped to get his hair highlighted:

The airplane started moving on the runway, when air traffic control ordered them to return. If it had been George W. Bush, he would have blown up the plane and yelled "I said wait!" But the Obama administration politely asked them to turn around (considering Obama probably had relatives on the plane). Needless to say, Shahzad probably had a serious Maalox moment due to the abrupt stop, after grinning, thinking he'd gotten away, when the plane was headed for the runway to take him to Pakistan.

The FBI searching for clues at Shahzad's home (the time he spent building that foolish bomb, dude could have spent staining his deck)

Yesterday, the television show Inside Edition revealed, when they sent a camera crew to Shahzad's property, they found the suspect's letters strewn in the backyard and called the police. They stated the FBI showed up in response to the call and collected the letters they had astonishingly left behind hours earlier.

A Window Of Shame

Former U.S. President George W. Bush

In watching 60 minutes this past Sunday, one was given a glimpse into the Islamic "Narrative" espoused by Muslims the world over, believing the West is out to destroy their religion and Jihad is the correct response, which is wrong, regrettable and and tragic.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush was mentioned by Muslims in the interview, as one that made the Islamic world firmly believe, the West is out to destroy Islam, via the war in Iraq.
As a Christian, I clearly do not share the same religious beliefs as Muslims. However, I do not wish death and destruction upon Muslims.

The George W. Bush years did America and the West a great deal of damage that may never be repaired in this lifetime. It opened the institution that is the U.S. Presidency, to a great window of shame, it had never known before.
The Clinton years were marred by his infidelities and the accompanying untruths, the most notable, the Monica Lewinsky scandal. However, it did not destroy the stature and standing of the U.S. Presidency. His deeds were viewed as personal, moral failures within his marriage to former First Lady, Hillary Clinton.

Later, during the Bush years, Americans sported bumper stickers that stated, "When Clinton lied, nobody died." This is true, as it alluded to Bush's illegal war, he lied to the nation and world to wage, which cost many Muslim civilians and Western soldiers their lives.

Bush deliberately deceived the world about a terrible war, claiming it was to rid Iraq of dangerous Weapons of Mass Destruction, he knew no longer existed. The true intent of the war was to steal untold trillions in Iraq oil.

Bush later stated in a well publicized interview that he believed the oil in Iraq would pay for the cost of the war. However, that oil/money was not his to take.

Bush, former Vice President, Dick Cheney and advisor, Karl Rove, reduced the U.S. Presidency to common thievery, grand theft larceny and murder, to pillage the national heritage of the Iraqi people - oil.

The world was made less safe as well, as Muslims began to wage Jihad against the West and fight back against Western soldiers and civilians in acts of terrorism in other nations.

Thanks to Bush and co, what the world ended up with was the death of 1 million Muslim civilians in Iraq and surrounding areas, 10,000 U.S. and U.K. soldiers gone, hundreds of Western civilians (America, Britain and Spain) killed in acts of terrorism and a new, heighten hatred for the West that did not exist before at this raging intensity.

It was a terrible turn of events, all in the name of money in the form of oil, birthed by the Bush Administration.
