But hey, lets not let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy.
If you didn't hear it on CNN...that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Speaking of conspiracy,
Assuming that Boeing made 30% gross margin on those aircraft, American corporations will need to sign approximately 2000 more deals of similar fiscal magnitude within the next two years to give the US less than a 10% annual return (Which is pretty crappy return given the risks involved) on that $2 Trillion invested on invading Iraq. Of course that also builds in the assumption that Iraq's GDP can even get to $1.5 Trillion a year (which would put it in the economic size of Canada) to hand over to American corporations.
The numbers simply don't go around.
