You should have invested in HAL
The news today that US casualties in Iraq reached a two year high last month got me thinking. Our soldiers are paying a high price for being sent into that sectarian shooting gallery, ill-prepared, and ill-equipped for what is probably an impossible job even with the best planning.
Our men and women are paying the highest price, but America as a whole is worse off, with our massive war debt and the sorry state of our military readiness.
So has anyone benefited from this war? Not the 100,000 dead Iraqis, that's for sure.
Well, an investment in Dick Cheney's old company would have bee one savvy investment move back in 01:
Looks eerily similar to this graph:

And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course. [4/13/04]
And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. [4/16/04]
And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. [4/5/04]
Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course” [10/21/06]
