American corporations profiteered massively from the Iraq War

Evidence

Two of the most notorious examples of corporate profiteering from the wars of the early 2000s were the Halliburton oil field services corporation, whose former chairman was George W. Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney, and which was awarded an exclusive $7 billion contract for work in Iraq at the time of the U.S. invasion, and the Blackwater private military and security consultancy company, a service provider to the CIA, whose employees were convicted in 2007 of the murder of fourteen Iraqis in Baghdad. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 860
