WASHINGTON — A former U.S. contracting official in Iraq has admitted that he conspired to steal more than $2 million in reconstruction money and to award contracts to a businessman in exchange for more than $1 million in cars, jewelry and cash.
Robert J. Stein Jr., 50, of Fayetteville, N.C., was expected to enter his guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Washington today. His would be the first conviction in a federal investigation that so far has implicated at least seven people.

Five U.S. Army Reserve officers who worked in Iraq also were part of the conspiracy, according to court papers.
Smedley Butler, one of only 8 men to recieve the Medal of Honor twice, said:
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

This isn't even the tip of the iceberg. During the initial phase of the Iraqi invasion, the Iraq National Museum was totally unguarded, billions of dollars woth of ancient artifacts were looted by people who were primed for the chaos of invasion. Now, what group of people, like vultures, is always setting and waiting for the misfortune of others, so that they may benefit by it ?

Quite a bit of history the kikes wanted to get their hands on over there.
