Yeah, bad things came from the Iraq War. But good things came from it, too. For example, a big chunk of that $2 trillion went to Dick Cheney's old company Haliburton, of which I'm sure he held huge holdings of stock.
And other good things came from it, too. Big oil companies like Exxon and BP were allowed to get oil from Iraq for free. And then, either put it on the market at $150 per barrel, or sell gasoline at prices as though they buying oil at $150 per barrel. Either way, they made a killing, as did their stockholders. Do you think Texas oilman George "mushroom cloud" Dubya might have owned some stock in oil companies?
As we know, It turned out that Iraq didn't have WMDs. And had nothing to do with 9-11. I'm sure Dubya and Cheney cried, "Oops!" all the way to the bank.
