Re: Imagine squandering $320 billion and accomplishing absolutely nothing?!?

I know, I know. From the taxpayers point of view, the debacle in Iraq is pointless.

But cheer up. There's winners in this game and there is a real purpose being served.

The Carlyle Group reported that their profits doubled in 2004. Similar, though not quite so spectacular results are being reported by almost all military hardware and services contractors.

And then you have the real American entrepreneurial spirit shining through with fine Republican operatives like the Custer-Battles Company, which went from no revenue in 2001 to about $300 Million in business in Iraq security business in 2004. If this isn't an American success story, I don't know what is! Or, maybe I don't know what it is.... other than pure evil.
