Dubya and gang were deathly afraid that the end of the cold war would put an end to their feeding in the defense industry trough. What a coup for them! A revival of the cold war. Never could believe that What his name Ben Laudin sp? was reason enough for a massive build up. Now they can rationalize additional billions of our money going into their corporate coffers. Oh well is it too late to invest in defense industry stocks? I bet dubya and Cheney shifted their portfolios before the run up. The easy money has probably already been made, but is it too late for sloppy seconds? ------------------
