ZNet: 'Brought to You by Boeing' (8/1/07) by Cindy Sheehan

The anti-war icon's viewing of a recent Meet the Press provokes a dose of perspective for constant reportage on "Obama and Clinton, two people whose campaigns together have each raised enough money to pay for about five hours of the illegal and insane occupation of Iraq":
I was wondering when Tim Russert would get around to talking about the refugee crisis that BushCo and Congress Inc. have created in the Middle East which is rapidly destabilizing the entire region, not just Iraq.... And wouldn't it be nice if we heard some cons for an invasion of Iran instead of the neocon pro-war all the time crap?... There are too many of our brothers and sisters going without the bare necessities and NBC wants us to care about two people who are co-opted into the power elite and are feuding over foreign policy when they are both senators who have power right now and could affect the process positively if they weren't busy campaigning for elections that are months away. I was wondering when the real discussion was going to occur until I saw those five words: "Brought to you by Boeing:" the number one aerospace/defense contractor in the world, according to Fortune 500. The next show after Meet the Press is the McLaughlin Group, which is brought to a gullible American viewership by the Oil and Natural Gas Council.
