keep asking myself as a country, how do we benefit from this. So far I draw blanks. Try, by not having another 9/11 with poison or something worse. Just because it's been averted, doesn't mean it can be laughed off. Remember those guys they caught with ricin and maps of London's water system? However, when I factor in those that pushed for war, it's very simple to see how THEY benefit. For example, what is the connection between Bechtel, Rumsfeld and Saddam? Do you know? Why don't you try to explain it, using facts, if possible? So far, all alternate explanations I have seen are absurd on their face. Just because Bechtel gets a few more contracts is no motive for anybody to switch the foreign policy of the US. Bechtel was hardly hurting for work before. To suggest that it's Cheney's or Rumsfeld's "real" motive is not only an insult, but an absurd insult. You can accuse them of treason if you like, but please don't insult my intelligence. Just about everything Bush stuck on the table to justify the war has turned up false The Bush administration clearly expected to find the wmds. So did every intelligence service in the world, after the 'dog ate my homework' lack of explanations as to what happened to the existing stocks. Debka says the stocks were trucked into Syria in January. But wmds were only a partial reason, not the main reason. The real reasons for the war are not hard to seek. They stem from the current geo-political situation, are not hidden but open, and Ken Pollack laid them out clearly in his book.
