Even more war profiteering

The only thing more twisted that killing thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in a war with no clear goal, plan or end-point, is doing so for profit as seems to be the blatant purpose of this war - from Cheney's Haliburton stock to the oil companies' production sharing agreement - and now our old pal, Li'l Donnie Rumsfeld, the playground bully and all around disreputable guy, is shopping around for an Iraq book deal. Apparently, he's looking for six figures up-front - a fee that some publishing house will no doubt pay because they know that chumps across the county will willingly stuff their hard-earned cash into Rummy's wallet in the misguided hope of a little insight. This book will be a library rental if I've ever seen one.
