Merchants of Death

Charley Reese / LewRockwell.com:
I don't see the point of further discussion of the Republican War in Iraq. The president is stubborn and only repeats himself. The war will go on. The country will bleed blood and treasure. In the end, Iraq will end up with a dictator of one sort or another, which is what it had before the war. Hopefully, a new president will end it, though I would wait a few months before placing any bets. War, as it is being fought in Iraq, is a highly profitable operation for the war service industry, which Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld created. They called it "outsourcing." I call it "mercenaries," and there are now almost as many of them in Iraq as there are uniformed soldiers. As always in war, it is highly unprofitable to the young men and women who have to fight it on military pay.
