Who profits from the Iraq war? More than a quarter of senators and congressmen have invested at least $196 million of their own money in companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) that profit from the death and destruction in Iraq.

 War hawk Sen. Joe Lieberman (IConn.), chairman of the defense-related
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, had at least $51,000 invested in these companies in 2006.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who voted for Bush’s war, had stock in defense companies, such as Honeywell, Boeing and Raytheon, but sold the stock in May 2007.

What the fuck are you talking about! First of all I have done you a favour by ignoring the absence of proof concerning the ability of "the rich" to start a war, so I'll bring out this card now. Secondly you neglect to understand that the economy as a whole has suffered from the Iraq war, most people with money to invest are not directly involved in defense and would prefer their businesses to be taxed less than have an opportunity to make a quick buck investing in a defense contractor.
