TVNL Editor's Comments: The Iraq invasion is costing American tax payers $6 billion per month now. Where is this money going? I’ll tell you where…to the war profiteers of the military industrial complex.

The top priority of Donald Rumsfeld was to downsize our military and conduct a privatization campaign where privately owned, for profit companies, can increase the size of the industry that makes a business out of war. This private and expanding war industry has, as their representative, the Defense Secretary of the United States. This is the man that has input on the decision to use our military and who and stages and coordinates the actions. This means he decides how the resources are used…he decides who gets the money. Wouldn’t you say that this is a little bit of a conflict of interest?

Well let me tell you a little bit about the Iraq invasion and privatization. We don’t have enough troops there. We never had enough troops there. One reason that Donald Rumsfeld did not send enough troops there is so that the US tax payer would have to pay private militias, also known as security firms, to perform the tasks that our military would have and should have done. These private firms are making billions. They can afford to pay their private security guards $500 per day. This is why our valuable highly trained members of the military are not reinstating and they are signing on to these high paying tax leech companies, further weakening our military.

The companies making money from the prolonged insurgency are owned by friends of Rumsfeld, Cheney and the members of the Bush administration. You can trace many of the war bucks to members of Congress as well. A prolonged insurgency is a dream come true for these war profiteers. Is it any wonder that the entire operation was handled so poorly and that no effort was make to keep the peace once we went it? Is it any wonder why there was never even a plan to keep the peace? Actually there was a plan…it was to prevent peace.

Put all these pieces together and logic tells you that this disaster of an occupation is working out perfectly for the people who sent us there in the first place. Too bad most of America has replaced logic and critical thinking with faith; they can’t see the obvious even when someone takes the time to point it out to them.

There are many reasons that the Project for a New American Century and their hand puppet George W. Bush took this nation to war. Some reasons were religious or related to Israel, some reasons were ideological (good vs. evil), some reasons related to the acquisition of oil and some reasons relate directly to personal financial greed. One thing is for sure…we did not invade Iraq in order to protect America or it’s freedoms (which are being attacked, not by Iraq, but by the Bush/PNAC administration), and we are surely not there for any of the reasons that our media have forced you to believe and that is becoming more obvious as each day passes. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

WAR : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war

· Iraq losing millions to oil smugglers - About two million litres of fuel is being smuggled out of Iraq to neighbouring countries every day, Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Mohammed Bahr al-Olum admitted in press remarks published Monday.

· Iraq rebuilding slows as U.S. money for projects dries up - The U.S. government is running out of money. The higher than expected cost of protecting workers against insurgent attacks — about 25 cents of every reconstruction dollar now pays for security — has sent the cost of projects skyward.
TVNL Comment: Now you know where the money is going...to private security companies...war profiteers...friends of Rumsfeld, Cheney and the Bush/PNAC administration. A prolonged insurgency is their dream come true!

· Iraq war now costing $6 billion a month - The Bush administration is spending about $7 billion a month to wage the war on terror, and costs could total $570 billion by the end of 2010, assuming troops are gradually brought home, a congressional report estimates.
TVNL Comment: Where is this money going? How is it being spent?

· Bombers strike Iraq, nearly 30 dead - The attacks, in the north-western town of Tal Afar and in Baghdad, came as officials from the Shiite and Kurdish-dominated Government and parliament, along with US diplomats, held a day of meetings with Sunni Arabs to try to overcome the Sunnis' fierce objections to the constitution.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· Bush's Veil Over History - SECRECY has been perhaps the most consistent trait of the George W. Bush presidency. Whether it involves refusing to provide the names of oil executives who advised Vice President Dick Cheney on energy policy, prohibiting photographs of flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq, or forbidding the release of files pertaining to Chief Justice John Roberts's tenure in the Justice Department, President Bush seems determined to control what the public is permitted to know. And he has been spectacularly effective, making Richard Nixon look almost transparent. - But perhaps the most egregious example occurred on Nov. 1, 2001, when President Bush signed Executive Order 13233, under which a former president's private papers can be released only with the approval of both that former president (or his heirs) and the current one.

ECONOMY : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#economy

· Gasoline costs will wipe out raises, study says - Calculating the toll of higher gas prices in 88 cities nationwide, the Needham, Mass., compensation software and data firm found that workers making the average annual salary of just above $40,000 last month were spending 3.3 percent of their paychecks gassing up for work.

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· The Trouble with Authority - Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?

JOURNALISM & MEDIA : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#media

· In the U.S., gloom for big papers - "If we miss this opportunity to change ourselves from a newspaper into a news organization," she said, "shame on us."

· Aura of fear pervades Thai media - If Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra had hoped, as critics suggested, to scare Thailand's journalists by filing libel lawsuits that seek more than $12 million in damages from a media group owner and his partner, he has at least partially succeeded.

· Did a reporter with GOP ties suppress a story that could have cost Bush the White House? - President Bush's reelection may have been made possible by a Toledo Blade reporter with close ties to the Republican Party who reportedly knew about potential campaign violations in early 2004 but suppressed the story.
