I don't think Haliburton (Cheneys frmr company) will get the bid...They do just as much business outside this country as they do inside. And foriegn (sp) markets are more against the war than for it. And that is a conflict of interest. It would hurt them too much even if they get billions to help "re-build" Iraq through suffering in other countries. But I agree, also, that Saddam poses a threat, It's only a matter of time before he gets those WMD, and then what kind of neighbor would he be???
