The Rolling Stones Take on Pentagon and Halliburton
Maybe this new Rolling Stones song will catch someone's attention. Reported by the Associated Press, it will at least put the group back in the mix of things just in time for a US Tour:
There is no mention of Bush or Iraq, but it does refer to military contractor Halliburton, formerly run by US Vice President Dick Cheney and has been awarded key Iraq contracts, and the rising gasoline price. "How come you're so wrong? My sweet neo-con, where's the money gone, in the Pentagon," goes one refrain. "It's liberty for all, democracy's our style, unless you are against us, then it's prison without trial," goes another line. "It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical," Jagger said.
