Negroponte: an unstable Iraq is good for business
well, for those who are in the war business...

As the former U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, Negroponte said that he is encouraged by Iraq’s formation of a new, democratically elected government. But he also said that general opportunities for most American firms to work on reconstruction projects there “are probably quite limited” until the security situation is stabilized. There are exceptions, he said, for companies that provide security and engineering services.

1. That's it in a nutshell...
That's why we're there..."business"

Remember the footage from Michael Moore's "F-911" where CEOs were seen sitting around in a room while some presenter was telling them about all the money to be had in Iraq? Made me sick...

5. This is it folks This is all there is. PROFIT FOR FRIENDS ... of theirs.
You are a fool. I am a fool. We are supporting the death and dismemberment and destruction of souls and families, careers and futures for their corporate friends.

Where will the corporations be when these kids of ours and all the Iraqis are suffering from mental, immune, and bodily problems?

Negroponte and Rumsfeld will be on their villa-estates in Paraguay reminiscing about all the ways they screwed the world for their friends, tha barons.

These are not good civil servants. These are excellent baron operatives.

Let's hope we all get the big picture before we take in any more.

6. more chaos = more profit
This is the way of Bushco. No plan = chaos = profit. All they had to do was break the egg of Iraq by attacking, and then it was all a river of money diverted from the pockets of taxpayers and their children and grandchildren to the pockets of Bush cronies.

Ghoulish, heinous grifters.
