clivex, the US Department of Defense discretionary budget for 2006 was.....wait for it......$470 Billion.

For one fiscal year.

People numbers aren't what it's about - only dollar bills - and Halliburton's slice of this particular pie, would keep Cheney et al in fresh colostomy bags for quite some time, I'm sure you would agree.

Incentive enough to go to war? Perhaps, and perhaps not. You're probably right about it not being all about the money - more about the power in Cheney's case, I would imagine.
