No doubt some of them, an extremely small number, had profiteering in mind, but no, I don't think the vast majority were thinking about this at all. No argument here at all...I believe, too, that the profiteers were/are in the vast minority. ( I should have written "why a certain segment of Bush supporters..." rather than "why so many Bush supporters..."). But keep in mind, the choicest, no-ceiling, open-ended contracts were awarded BEFORE the invasion even began, back when the decision to go to war was supposedly still in doubt. It is difficult to see that sort of arrangement as anything but cynical.
