The Bush Family/Nazi Connection

I dont know what bush has done that qualifies as profiteering...i have a very narrow definition, and it seems the dictionary has one too.
Here we go,


prof·it·eer Audio pronunciation of "profiteering" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (prf-tîr)
n.

One who makes excessive profits on goods in short supply.


intr.v. prof·it·eered, prof·it·eer·ing, prof·it·eers

To make excessive profits on goods in short supply.

so i'm not such what bush has done that qualifies as profiteering.

The exessive profits would be the large amount of money Haliburton got from the government, and inflated wages that the workers are paid, for jobs that were restricted to only American contractor bids, which were won by Haliburton.

Scientist and pyschologists will be the first to tell you that models are not universally correct and can be wrong. By the way, you also pick the evidence of one guy. A theory at that. It hardly is a universal truth.
No way? Really? I didn't just say that earlier? Lots of widely accepted things are theories. The laws we know now are just repeatedly proven theories. But many scientists more intelligent than you or I rely on these theories as constants becasue they've been proven over and over, but still have a slim chance to be disproven. I did not pick the evidence of one guy, there were actually two sources there ( remember you tried to use one of hem against somethin I said)

As for gwb's stocks in haliburton..its public knowledge, if he has any, its been reported.
So find it, im not asking for more and more proof I belive ther is enough already.
as for the pyschotherapist, lets leave it at this. She has never had bush as a patient, all her ideas are based off of what others have written about george w bush. Her diagnosis, which i find highly unprofessional, is incomplete and based on what others have told her and not on any personal first hand knowledge.
First hand knowledge like being an expert in her field? oh.. ok, no you mean first hand knowledge of meeting Bush? Have you met the guy then? We shouldn't even have this conversation if we dont have any first hand knowledge of him right? Everything is untrue unless its first hand!

 

but we're back to where we began..this is going in an endless cycle.

If bush is profiteering, then prove it. You cant point to haliburton and not show he has a financial stake in haliburton.

 

It's war profiteering.

It is too much of a conflict of intrest for any leaders of a country to make side money off of a war that they are waging. Dick is definitely making plenty of side money, and GW set it up. Haliburton got a no-bid contract.

I have heard from two people on these forums now to "show me other companies that could have done the job..." Well the fact is the administration didn't care what other companies could have done the job. They got a no-bid contract. No other companies were considered.

 

so now we have moved from bush to cheney. Whether cheney should be vice president while having stocks in haliburton is a whole different issue than this one, and not one i'm willing to engage in.

 

There is your twisting again.

It isn't a whole different issue, because it is somehting that the administration allowed...and who is the head of the administration? Well, that would be Bush!

We didn't move from Bush to Cheney at all. Still talking about Bush here...

Hence me saying:

Nice try on the spin, though.

 

No, they did not, and please don't link me to some site that quotes, "Hitler's Pope"--ive gone over this waaaay to much.

 

spin? You and duckandmiss have been saying bush has profited from the war. I've asked you all to prove it and have had no response...it is you who are spinning, lady.

 

I don't like Bush, but the Bush/Nazi references just aren't a big deal to me. I'm not surpised they exist, but saying someone's bad because of what people in their family say or do isn't cool. My uncle is a boring guy, conservative in manner, dress, and politics. I am exactly the opposite. As they say, "you can choose your friends. . ."

You honestly think that Halliburton is the only company able to do this stuff? If so, why doesn't the government take control of it since it has a monopoly?

 

No I did not, all I was saying is that based on his families past and psycological theories I can see where it might seem morally right to George Bush for himself to profit from the war, if and or when he does. You don't need to prove an opinion backed up with scientific information. It has you who has tried to twist this simple inquisitive post into a firefight.
