10. Wanna Know Where That Money Went???
I sure would like to find out someday. Which corporations made what in their contracts and how they got those contracts. Congressman Waxman also wants to know and has been digging. I suspect that if there's not something brought forward in this Congress...as the investigations are that nebulous...we will see something should Democrats maintain control after the '08 elections and have the real power to investigate the past 6 plus years.

Now if your stock portfolio has companies like General Electric, Exxon/Mobil, Haliburton, General Dynamics or other major contractor, you've seen a nice return over the past several years. While the American domestic economy went to hell, the market still made money. How come??? War is big business.
