I would like Obama to list in full, who is making money off the occupation

[oregonjen]

I haven't seen a candidate talk about where the money is going and who in this administration is affiliated with these companies. I want a full list, how much money each company made, the profits, and who is pocketing it.

Obama has said many times that the trillions spent in Iraq should have been used here, helping those in need and improving our infrastructure, but not who is benefiting from the occupation. I think it would really hit home now that our country is falling apart.

1. you are assuming that if...

anyone gave the corporate media that list that it would be disseminated. That they would bother with the story. GE=NBC as one example. Do you really think the story would get any coverage?

However, we already know many corporations that get no bid contracts; Halliburton,KBR, CACI, Blackwater, to name a few.

2. We already know, sure, but how about during a debate?

If he threw out numbers and names?

3. No one's made more than General Dynamics, and the first person Obama went to

when he was thinking about running for president was James Crown. James Crown is not only the head of General Dynamics, he also is part of the Crown publishing empire which published Obama's book, and is on the board of trustees that hired Michelle Obama and then tripled her salary. So, in a sense, some of those profits helped fund Obama's house as well as his campaign.
