yes you did say profit was involved in your earlier post, its right up there to see, reread it are you saying this war was only for profit? should weapons companies make the weapons for free? Do you know someone else that does the same kind of work that Halliburton does? Do you have any evidence of Cheney himself profiting from this? Private security firms? You mean the ones having a lot of their people killed? Should they not be paid? Please answer those. The reason the media inaccuracies are important is because they already EFFECTED the way a previous war was fought via their anti-war, anti-military reporting to the American people, it\'s not right for it to happen again.

Was the profit question for me? I didn\'t bring up war profits, but if you really don\'t know who the big winners are in this war, here\'s a short list: the energy industry, the weapons industry, private security firms, and Cheney\'s old haunt halliburton. The media didn\'t get any no-bid contracts.

If there was a market for what you want (an all-encompassing effort) then maybe we\'d have one. Right? Look at what Fox did. They found a niche market -- half the country.

fosho, I know you said that. He won\'t answer the question about the issue he brought up

[foshoyaknow]

ike, \"To whoever said we elect the media by choosing who to watch and read and thus give them ratings and money - right on.\" I said that

[ikez78]

answer the question, who is profiting from this war?

Ike, Thanks! I agree, my comments were successful in eliciting an intelligent response from you. Your welcome.

[ikez78]

foshoyaknow, I could `care less if they share my view. I am just telling you that what they are reporting doesn\'t cover all the news that is going on there. It\'s nowhere near an all encompassing effort.

one of, Nice try Dr. conspiracy. No blood for oil right? This war is for Halliburton and oil right Mr. Moore? To whoever said we elect the media by choosing who to watch and read and thus give them ratings and money - right on.

Ike, Look in your gilt-edged mirror. It was the blood of people like my family members, now and in the past that you speak of. I am proud to be an American because I can speak out against corrupt, money hungry power brokers who spill the blood of the majority of us for monetary gain. Your lecture is falling on disgusted ears, and as this kind of \"love it or leave it\" nonsense escalates, so will the response of those of us whose backs you are standing on. If you won\'t get off, we will throw you off.
