"The thing that's most surprising, I think, is how emphatically, from the very first, the administration had said 'X' during the campaign, but from the first day was often doing 'Y,'" says Suskind. "Not just saying 'Y,' but actively moving toward the opposite of what they had said during the election."

The president had promised to cut taxes, and he did. Within six months of taking office, he pushed a trillion dollars worth of tax cuts through Congress. But O'Neill thought it should have been the end. After 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan, the budget deficit was growing. So at a meeting with the vice president after the mid-term elections in 2002, Suskind writes that O'Neill argued against a second round of tax cuts.
"Cheney, at this moment, shows his hand," says Suskind. "He says, 'You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due.' ... O'Neill is speechless."
Ron Suskind: From 1993 to 2000, Mr. Suskind was the senior national affairs writer for the Wall Street Journal. He was a contributor to "Profiles in Courage for Our Times," (Hyperion, 2002), along with other prize-winning authors. He currently writes for various national magazines, including the New York Times Magazine and Esquire Magazine. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and lives in Washington with his wife, Cornelia Kennedy Suskind, and their two sons.
"Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of Disinfectants, electric light the most efficient policeman."
-- Justice Louis Brandeis, 1913

"Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, during an interview with Sam Tannenhaus of Vanity Fair magazine, said: "The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on -- which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason."
More recently, Wolfowitz added what most have believed all along, that the reason we went after Iraq is that "[t]he country swims on a sea of oil.""
"The Objective Is That The Attendees Walk Away With Immediately Usable Information To Develop Their Competitive Edge In The Market Place."
5th Annual Aerospace Outlook Conference
As of Tuesday April 6, 2004 there were 692 named and identified civilian victims of the US war on Iraq, and military deaths in the “noble” Iraq mission have passed 600. http://www.iraqbodycount.net/names.htm
As of the same date, no WMD have been found in Iraq. The companies named above and others have found billions of dollars in war profits however.
We offer a special thanks to our past and future host congregations

Bechtel, along with Halliburton, recieves billions to implement US control over Iraq's resources.
Their efforts to privatize water in many countries was, in Bolivia, defeated by a grassroots rebellion.
Women, hardest hit by their policies,
are central to the fight against Bechtel, starting with grandmothers from Big Mountain who fought displacement.
Bechtel oversees the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain
Former Secretary of State George Shultz is currently on the board of the Bechtel Corporation. Shultz is one of California Gov. Schwartzeneger's economic advisors.
Last April, the Bush administration gave Bechtel the first big Iraqi reconstruction contract, a prized $680 million deal over 18 months.
As the resistance to US occupation increases daily, Bechtel, the second largest recipient of money to 'rebuild' Iraq, continues to implement US control of Iraq's resources. Bechtel is the world's largest contractor, profiteering from war, human suffering and destruction of the environment. Bechtel made cluster bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, has built nearly half of the world's nuclear power plants and has invaded Shoshone land to oversee the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain.
Bechtel has a history with Peabody Coal which led to the displacement of Navaho people from Big Mountain. They have tried to privatize water in many countries; in Soweto South Africa women and men are resisting and in Bolivia Bechtel's efforts were defeated by a grassroots rebellion led by women. Women, who are hit hardest by Bechtel's genocidal policies, are holding Bechtel accountable for its crimes.!
