"The Great Iraq Swindle"

How is it done? How do you screw the taxpayer for millions, get away with it and then ride off into the sunset with one middle finger extended, the other wrapped around a chilled martini?

Rolling Stone explains in excruciating detail how. You may need a martini to read through the whole thing. Or extra blood pressure meds. Take your pick.

I skimmed it dg and it's EXACTLY the kind of thing that progressives/liberals like you, I, and most of the readers expect from a corrupt government - - an updated version of the Teapot Dome Scandal. Reminds me of a quote I saw by the old economist John Maynard Keynes that said: "Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest men, engaged in the nastiest activities, will benefit all of us."

I do have to agree, Big Em, this stuff just screams "Warren Harding."

Suckfest.
