War Inc.

Oliver Stone’s new documentary South of the Border, which interviews several left-wing leaders of Latin American countries, has unearthed a startling new allegation from Argentina’s former president Néstor Kirchner. During his interview with Stone, Kirchner said Bush told him "the best way to revitalize the economy is war"

If by "economy" he means Blackwater, Halliburton, Bechtel, etc, he's right. But otherwise Iraq and Afghanistan have cost the taxpayers a trillion dollars, with much of that mind numbingly large sum going right into the pockets of crony GOP corporate war profiteers. And while some in the GOP might actually believe war is good economic policy, the fact of the matter is after 7 years of their wars they were thrown out of power with the economy in meltdown.

  1. And probably the families of the 40,000 dead or maimed troops don't it's that great an economic policy either.
