That was what I said. A small minority with 'connnection' are going to
profit while the public is left with hundreds of billions of wasted money to
pay for their private party.  And this is before we even go into the
casualties and injured on both sides.

You will note that they did not even try to justify the war on the grounds
of economics ( we need the oil ) but by an think tank decision on what the
public would 'buy' as an excuse and every rationalisation they have come up
with has been shown to be false.
