Who received personal and political gain from the war in Iraq?

The recipients of non-competitive contracts and those corporations
that thrive on war materials and equipment.

That's peanuts. Think big, think oil.

Are you referring to the oil price run-up and obscene oil company
profits ostensibly caused the "instability" in the region caused by US
military operations?

Have you any idea of the profits made by Halliburton, Carlyle Group,
Blackwater, ...?

"The recipients of non-competitive contracts and those corporations that

You really should learn a bit more about the contracting process in general,
government contracts in particular, and war-time contracting specifically.

While there were some no-bid contracts, most of these were not
"non-competitive". Further, for some of these contracts, there may not be
but one or two companies that could even do the work required.

I have heard the types of comments you are making more than once, and in
every instance they have been made by people who really didn't have a clue
regarding the accusations they are making...

In this case, soldiers are complaining that they can't do their own
laundry, because Halliburton is charging us $99.00 a load to do it for
them:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cJlJudDtVE
http://iraqforsale.org/ . Prisoner interrogation is out-sourced;
private contractors are not signatory to the Geneva Convention.
Blackwater security guards are exempt from local and federal laws
while operating in Iraq. Halliburton charges US tax payers $99.00
per load to wash solders laundry, and solders are ordered not to
do their own. This article
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=30834 is two years old;
there are over 50,000 Peruvian mercenaries now in Iraq.

And where is information from any reputable news or other source confirming
this?

YouTube is hardly a reliable journalistic source...

I'm pretty sure I asked you who else, other than Big H do you think
would have been able to bid on those contracts. I'm also pretty sure you
never answered.
