1. Does anybody know how many of these companies
are based in the U.S. and how many have incorporated offshore to avoid paying taxes to their real home country?

2. Oh, that's rich.
(no pun intended). I wonder how many of these have actually made money. I've read that many War profiteers have actually lost money, or they have not been able to get started, because the security situation is so volatile.

Also, let's not forget the US government, with its greedy fingers in the pie. The US is planning to build the world's largest embassy, in Baghdad. It will house 3,000 people, at a cost of $2 billion (I think).

So, how's the construction going, George? I read about this embassy project over 3 years ago. Have they even laid the foundation?
