Why remember May 4, 1970?

 May 4 , 1970 ................................... May 4, 2010.......................

 What has changed ? Not much . We are fighting in countries that never sent their army's to fight in our countries. We have sent our armed forces,who are comprised of our children and grandchildren , to fight in their countries . Just as in Veit Nam 40 years ago, we are  fighting a war. This time on two fronts , Afghanistan and Iraq. Our kids , their kids, our lives , their lives, irrevocable changed forever by war.Too many lives lost ....forever. How is this possible ? Will it take another Kent State to stop the insanity ?

Daylight Robbery - The Iraqi War

Last night I watched BBC's Panorama show " Daylight Robbery" as reported by Jane Corbin . I was completely amazed at how the Bush Whitehouse politics and policies have totally hoodwinked the American people in regards to the cost of the Iraqi war and why .

I have put the YouTube video's from the BBC's Panorama "Daylight Robbery" program here for you to watch and form your own opinion . It takes several video's to get the whole program but well worth the time it takes to watch them all , believe me . I might have them out of sequence but you will have no problem understanding the message .

Imagine a company being paid $2,000,000 a month to guard the Baghdad airport and playing football with the money bricks . Or how Haliburton was allowed to be the only catering bidder for the troops BEFORE the war was started , and wanted a 5 YEAR contract for a war that didn't exist ! Millions , billions , and even trillions made from profiteering on the Iraqi war by American company's through suspicious means . You really won't believe all this and at the same time you sadly will . Watch the video's .










What do you think now ?

This is excellent and well worth passing along!
50 years of images in 3 minutes .. just awesome .. enjoy

Someone went to a lot of trouble to put this video together.
It is well worth the time for a couple minutes of enjoyment.
It takes a few seconds or so to load but very entertaining.
This is great.... Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes!
Thanks to Billy Joel and someone from the University of Chicago with too much time on Google!
