#2 "In the beginning, the thought was that you could achieve your goal with weapons, but honestly? That investment has shown no return. That company has shown no profit."

Well give the man a Kupie doll, because I think we have a winner. If this doesn't tell you the war is over, nothing will. Iraq has huge potential and there is serious money to be made for those willing and able to take the opportunity. And the real money will only come when real peace exists. My guess is that there are a whole lot more like this guy in Iraq. A very good sign.
