War Prophets

I do not need to say much about this one, but I probably will anyway. Plenty of people have offered their opinions about GWB's uncle making a pretty penny during the war.

Our presence in Iraq makes a lot of sense when you consider that those closely connected to the people who make the decisions in the government have been profiting handsomely since the U.S. military invaded Iraq.

That is why there was such a rush to invade.

That is why there is no real military strategy for victory.

That is why there are so many contractors in Iraq.

That is why future presidents will decide when we leave. (That nest egg gets bigger every day.)

That is why there are so many allegations of corruption in government.

War is worth a lot of money to a very select few.

The people responsible, who are also those benefiting, will stay the course as long as they can. Wouldn't you?
