Although the neocons do seem to be an unholy alliance of different pathologies.

Of course their motives overlap but they seem to get the following benefits:

In the short term B*sh's oil buddies benefit from high prices and in the long-term they may get access to Iraqi oil profits.

For Cheney there are the no-bid military and reconstruction contracts for Halliburton.

Condi seems to have a bit of the Ann Coulter in her. I get the feeling she likes to see muslim countries get knocked down with the intention of christianity getting a foothold in them at some point in the future (she often talks about replacing their "hateful ideology" with our ideology).

Rumsfeld of course gets to play with his toy soldiers and test his innovative military tactics. Plus with a state of permanent war he gets a lot of power and a sort of mini-empire to play with.
