Stop KBR and the wealthy elite in America from profiting off this war
(already way over 15.4 billion in revenue for KBR alone, including Cheney
and his 433,333 unexercised stocks in KBR).
End the violence and senseless distruction.
I call for the immediate removal of all American and multi-nationalistic oil
companies and rebuilding companies, and the immediate placement of only
Iraqi oil companies and rebuilding companies. It is sad when one countries
wealthy elite can profit off another countries destruction and off their own
citizens lives and tax money.

They do not want us there.
It is wrong to be there, unless we massively change our strategy especially
giving the Iraqis both their own power and THEIR OWN RESOURCES instead of
taking their power and resources into our hands. They are not to be treated
as our foster child which our wealthy elite profit off of. No more.
Let us do something.
