Last night on "60 Minutes" (TV show on CBS) a segment discussed post-war Iraq and a portion focused on reconstruction.

One administration related person stated flatly that it makes perfect sense to him that U.S. companies should get all the work and profits because it was U.S. blood that won the victory. [don't remember his name but he was a balding large smarmy individual who sees things in black and white only]

I find it to be a curious aspect of capitalism that the blood of individual soldiers killed or wounded could be so easily APPROPRIATED by corporate interests!

Will the profits realized go towards supporting the families of those killed in the war? Will the profits realized go into supporting medical/rehab costs for those injured in the war?
Since corporations pay little or no taxes, that route isn't the likely way.

Sidenote: The Wolfowitz/cabal 'transitional government' team is now sitting in southern Iraq. I wonder why?!?!?!
And the disagreement between Rumsfeld(cabal) and Powell is now out in the open. If Rumsfeld wins, as I'm sure he intends to, then we had all better be prepared for bad things to come of it.
