Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Anything called the "Whole Truth" is screaming propaganda. The whole truth and nothing but the truth...lmao. Anyone who assumes to know all there is to know is either a liar or a dumbass.

    perhaps it shouldn't have been titled 'whole truth', but it does show aspects of iraq and the war you don't really see or hear about

    especially the insane profits some are making

    let me get this straight; no money for body armor or armored vehicles (you go to war w/ the army you have, not the arm you'd like to have) but money for no-bid contracts and BONUSES for companies that were shown to have been acting fraudelently billing the government, not doing it's job (feeding us soldiers spoiled meat and contaminated water when they were charging for water purification...)???????

    cutting their hazardous duty pay, family separation allowance...when the war started, not wanting to give reservists (who comprise a large number) health care past a month or 2 when they get back....

    and ppl can say w/ a straight face this isn't a war of profit??

    lets your eyes and ears and common sense guide you:

    Iraq the Women's story
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7775278118628379239&hl=undefined

    "A compelling account of a life inside Iraq that is rarely seen on news bulletins: stories of ordinary women whose struggle to survive has only worsened since the war.

    Iraqi women and child The invasion of Iraq heralded promises of freedom from tyranny and equal rights for the women of Iraq. But three years on, the reality of everyday life for women inside Iraq is a different story. To make this film, two Iraqi women risk their lives to spend three months traveling all over the country with a camera to record the lives and experiences of women they meet. "

    It's so sad to see.

    Money has so little to do with actually living.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
