The "Money trumps Peace" thread
Ok first of all, I'm at work so didn't see the monkey show, but did he really say this?

Second of all, if he did, I'll make the t-shirt when I get home.

What a miserable failure lunatic.

18. Prescott Bush traded with the Nazis and Halliburton traded
with Iraq (against trade regs at the time).

Bush knows more than anyone, except maybe Cheney, that Money Trumps Peace. Hell, he's probably parroting what Cheney told him.

7. Yup
He summarized his entirely short sighted unenlightened foreign policy in three words.

Then he furthered that there were some "powerful commercial interests. . ."

Now he's a self described war monger and profiteer. e-gads

16. I turned on the radio in the car for a few seconds & he said this!

'Sometimes money is more important than peace' or 'money trumps peace.'

I yelped and turned the radio off.

I'll have to go see the transcript to get the actual words.
