And let us not forget that it ended up starting a war, I am sure all of the defense contractors are tickled pink (I see Lockheed Martin now has a new ad on TV reminding me that they never forget who they are working for) with all the new projects and thus revenue.
Hell, if we didn't have a war soon, they'd run out of contracts to fill and thus run out of money. Lockheed isn't the kind of company that can survive on a few maintenance contracts worth a few hundred million, they need billions and billions worth of new projects coming in all the time in addition to maintenance on the old ones.
And let us not forget Halliburton, that pillar of honesty and square dealings. The war that started after 9/11 gave Halliburton a huge shot in the arm as far as funding goes, hell, look at how much they got paid just to feed the troops spoiled food, nevermind the "rebuilding".
