#KLEPTO PLUTOCRACY FULL#
Bush –who walked away from his National Guard duty during the Vietnam War, a criminal act known as “desertion” when committed by lesser mortals –was basking in the man-musk of a shipload of sailors, reciting his usual lies about al Qaeda’s “alliance” with Saddam Hussein, and weasel-wording his “victory” declaration to avoid taking full legal responsibility for the consequences of the war of aggression he had unleashed, Bechtel was quietly pocketing a secret, closed-bid, open-ended Iraq contract that could give them almost $700 million in taxpayer money before the 2004 election –with the alluring prospect of untold billions to follow, Mother Jones reports.
Last week, while the notorious coward George W. Decades before its comrade in cronyism, the Carlyle Group, made its meteoric, Bush-assisted ascent to global prominence, Bechtel had already perfected the dark art of milking intimate government connections for fat, risk-free contracts. Veteran observers of the klepto-plutocracy that has, lazar-like, long encrusted the American body politic were not surprised to see the hoary name of the Bechtel Group bobbing up in the swill of sweetheart deals now being doled out by the Corrupter-in-Chief for the “reconstruction” of his new fiefdom in Iraq.
