My mother gets a check from them ever month, no, it doesn't make you a war monger, but you will never see the profits I am speaking of, so you are not the one I am talking about. Here is just one small example of what I am talking about. We had a group of Iraqis build a hand washing basin outside of our mess hall, paid them $3,600 to build it. KBR came in later to "rebuild" it, charged $30,000. Here's just one more, $80,000 to pour a 25mx25m concrete slab. That money, comes from your taxes, free money. This kind of thing isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Multi-million dollar weapons deals, long term multi-billion dollar oil deals, you think that a few thousand lives interupt their sleep? Do you think that old money hags lose any sleep over that 5 crt diamond who knows how many people died for? Do not under estimate greed, it causes men to do evil, follow the money.
