if military contractor profits are the goal, this war and Vietnam were each highly successful imagine all the military equipment bought and sold even the sand damage to engines is a success story imagine all the replaced equipment and profits indigenous businesses count, as fringe benefits to the victors go the spoils in ancient times it was gold, jewelry, crops, land, slaves, and women times has certainly changed we are mistaken to think we know the objectives and goals my viewpoint is most of all goals were met profits are huge, costs were low, contracts were no-bid high $15 billion cash is still missing in Iraq Halliburton looks bad in the prima facie stated case the Iraqi banks were looted of gold bullion huge oil service contracts are tapped major major major success story for the corporations and costs of soldiers was dirt cheap although tragic, soldiers either serving or dead were as cheap as slaves "think like a thief" you dont, I do, perspective makes all the difference / jim
