If profiting off the war was the only reason behind it, then I'd agree. But Saddam was a murdering dictator who destabilized the region. We weren't alloud to fly over Iraq, and there was a huge obstacle between Kuwait and Iran should, God forbid, we have to invade that country.

To suggest that profit was the only motive is to suggest that the President is completely and totally controlled by the companies that arm our military, and with an accusation that unlikely, the burden of proof is on the accuser.
