Description: Keith Olbermann, on his MSNBC program, Countdown, for Sept 19, 2006. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ Keith interviewing Robert Greenwald, director of "Iraq For Sale", which documents the war profiteering taking place in Iraq. http://iraqforsale.org Fans of Greenwalds work, of which I am one, will also be aware of his production company, Brave New Films. And how very fitting that company's title is. http://www.bravenewfilms.org Being the savvy media channel that they are, they also have a Director's account here at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/bravenewfilms If you haven't already subscribed, you might consider joining me in doing so. By now, I would assume you already know that Vice President Dick Cheney was the Chairman and CEO of Halliburton, following his work in the Nixon administration. And, as capable as I am of doing so, I will not belabor that point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_cheney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halliburton But the number of former government and military personnel working at Halliburton, and vice versa, goes way beyond that, as Greenwald indicates here. When I was in the service, the biggest thing getting outsourced to private companies on base was the chow hall. Now there are private companies doing just about everything the military is. Including the fighting: http://www.blackwaterusa.com/ But that, as they say, is another story... Another great resource is, of course, CrooksAndLiars.com, my source of this footage: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/19/iraq-for-sale-interview-with-robert-greenwald/

Wabiisabii ::: Favorites I know alot of other soldiers like me who quit because as a civilian doing your same job as an E.O.D. Tech. (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) You make about 3-5 times as much if not more if your work for a civilian corporation than in the military. It is a total shame and it really demoralizes you. It did me in my year demining and cleaning up Kuwait. 07-08-17 11:52:06 __________________________________________________

pba11 ::: Favorites War profiteering? Business as usual for the Bush family. Preston Bush funded the nazis. Daddy Bush consults for the Carlyle Group and W does his best to ensure that there's a war and profits to be made, from both war and oil. I truly don't understand how Americans were so stupid to vote for bush once, no less twice? What did bush say, fool me once shame on ....... you ...... derr .....you can't get fooled again. America, you are getting fooled over and over again. WAKE UP! 07-06-18 17:50:34 __________________________________________________
