No doubt some companies would like to stay in Iraq for decades. And then move on to the next war. It's been very good business for them.
Why not ask war contractors for a little patriotic $$$ sacrifice instead of just the troops?

Yes, there should be limits. But so long as the government continues to be owned by big business there will never be limits. Both the republicans and the democrats have been allowing and encouraging this to line their own pockets for at least 50 years. That's why I scoff at both parties and the fools who waste their time on party politics. The only real difference between the parties is that the liberals are more dishonest and self rightous about their lying thievery.

Prescott Bush, George's grandfather, is the most famous war profiteer of the last century, and there was a ban on dealing with the Nazi's, but that never stops a Bush. It's laughable when people talk about the countries dealing in arms; the United States is the biggest arms dealer in the world.

Profiteering off war when the first caveman dagger was made. American arms sellers in 1776 sold to the highest bidder, as did British sellers. PMC contractors love 3rd world crap hole, and profit off instability in those countries. Can Limit profiteering, but the others will come in for the quick profits anyways.

Corporations are not human and do not have feelings and once you clock in you are part of the company.

No, most liberals do not realize how much more valuable the CEO (OUR President Bush) is than, for example, a lowly enlisted person.
