Iraq war good business for some
NEW YORK -
Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman reported sharp increases in
fourth-quarter profit yesterday and raised full-year forecasts, as two
of the world's largest defence contractors capitalised on the
continuing boom in US military spending.
Lockheed's profit easily beat Wall Street's forecast, helping its
shares rise slightly, almost hitting a record.
Northrop narrowly missed analysts' average forecast due to a charge on
a radar programme, sending its shares down modestly after notching an
all-time high earlier this week.
The companies, with rivals Boeing, General Dynamics and Raytheon, are
taking advantage of record US defence spending and more outsourcing of
Government technology projects.
Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst at Teal Group, said:
"If you get the kind of supplementals we've been getting, then that's
a lot of money," referring to the billions of dollars being used to
pay for operations in Iraq on top of the regular defence budget.

Tell me, how is it noble to appreciate a "profit-making enterprise"
based on the slaughter of 650,000 Iraqi civilians?
Iraq Sunnis are now being supported by Saddam's Baathists,
Syria, al Qaeda, Saudis.
Iraq Shiites are now being supported by Iran, Sadr's Mehdi,
Hezbollah.
Many are just civilians who chose a side in order to stay alive.
Now they're labelled with vague terms like "insurgents" or
"terror suspects" and killed by U.S. forces. That seems more
like entrapment, followed by genocide.
And if you're looking for "non-productive tax-sucking" types, you have
no further to look than the Bush Administration, which is robbing the
Treasury and thus the American people blind.
While we're all cringing about Iraq the Bushophiles
are stuffing their pockets from the U.S. Treasury
now bloated with pre-emptive war funds.
Just like Enron, they make the problem and then
sell the cure. Time to close down their protection scam.

Just like they loved Wilson's war, Roosevelt's war, Truman's war, and
Johnson's war, and they made far more money (adjusted for inflation) on
those wars. Never understood why businessmen prefer Republicans as
president when DemocRATs and their wars make them far more money.
