Big Oil Bob--War Profiteer?

Bob Schaffer voted to go to war in Iraq when he was in Congress. After he left office in 2003 he went to work for a Big Oil company. In 2006 he lead a business trip to Iraq for that oil company. Less than a year later that company was awarded an Iraqi oil contract. Is war profiteering wrong?

Which industry is Bob Schaffer NOT in bed with? He was all tied up with Jack Abramoff's clients defending human rights abuses in Marianas Islands sweatshops. He's built an entire career doing the bidding of Big Oil. I wonder how much money he's raised from Big Pharma and Big Insurance?

LOL...You americans....it's been happening since man started keeping track of history.the labels and methods may change but in the end it's always been the same thing. In order for a few to rise, many must be put down.

Our troops are fighting for men like Bob to get line his pockets. See him shaking and sputtering on Meet the Press this morning. Obnoxious.

Be honest, most American and British politicians of either parties invaded,killed,destroyed infrastructure and now continue to occupy for money. It happened then, is happening now and will continue. America could have stoped it with Ron Paul but chose not to. so thanks to the yanks we are all screwed, cheers.
