35. Yep, that's it!
Follow The Money. Why would the Regime knowingly send in WAY too few troops and materiel to control Iraq? The only way it makes sense is that it's being done for profit. The longer it continues, the more weapons GE/Lockheed Martin/etc get to sell to the Pentagon. The longer Halliburton gets to hideously overbill for "support." Blackwater gets to ride the gravy train longer. That precious OIL is kept off the market, thus driving up the price of gasoline (except between now and the Supposed Election). And on and on on ON it goes!

If bu$hco were the least bit serious about "winning the war," it would have been "won" the INSTANT that Junior's approval rating dropped below 60%. That it has now gone on longer than the time that the US fought Germany in WWII says only one thing: it's all about the profits.
