12. Dick Cheney, the quintessential war profiteer.
I came to that conclusion when the maps were released Stephanie. WMD was only the excuse to start the war. In fact, the longer the UN made progress in not finding WMD, the more the clamor for war was amplified.
Personally, I think the PNAC document was just cover to promote the new Republican business model (create wars to hand out no bid support contracts and make peace to hand out no bid infrastructure rebuild contracts). US Oil control and protection of Israeli ME interests are the other obvious 2 benefits for the coalition (PNAC) of the willing.
