'Stay the Course' or Conflict of Interest?

Is it only me that is appalled at the massive corruption that has been ongoing in Iraq? How is it that we are spending $8 billion per month, much of which is going to two corporations with no-bid contracts, and which are closely connected politically to the president and the vice-president. The most egregious is Halliburton, which was formerly chaired by the vice-president and is headquartered in Texas, the home of the president and former home of the vice president. With this overt conflict of interest, comes the Bushites determination to 'stay the course' in spite of the chaos, the civil war, the 600,000+ Iraqi collateral deaths, the disappearance of $9 billion that is unaccounted for, the disappearance of the billions of Iraqi oil revenues which were to pay for this mess of an occupation, the military being stretched to it's limits, the desire of most Iraqis that we leave now, the desire of most Americans that we get out now, and so on. This unholy alliance of Halliburton, Blackwater and others, with the Bushites, means that we are not leaving any time soon. They financed Bush's governorship and then presidency, and now they are being rewarded with massive amounts of taxpayer funds with no end in sight. This is why the Bushites were hell-bent on going into Iraq, to begin the criminal fraud that is now unfolding. This is why the Bushites are hell-bent on 'staying the course' in Iraq, and ignoring every sane indicator of the utter failure of the occupation. Only for we the people, has this war been a failure, for them it has been a huge success. And once again, political influences and profits are revealed as the gods of both political parties, and the supreme god of the Repugnants.
