		Shultz if the fact that he was an advocate of the war while sitting on the board of a company that would benefit from it left him concerned about the appearance of a conflict of interest.
		The war against Iraq has become one of the clearest examples ever of the influence of the military-industrial complex that President Dwight Eisenhower warned against so eloquently in his farewell address in 1961.
		Think of the divergence of interests, for example, between the grunts who are actually fighting this war, who have been eating sand and spilling their blood in the desert, and the power brokers who fought like crazy to make the war happen and are profiting from it every step of the way.

		They're trying to convince us that this act of pure aggression is a "preemptive" move that will allow Americans to sleep more peacefully in their beds, while the Iraqi masses cheer the conquerors who have starved them for a decade and then bombed them to smithereens.
		Before the war can begin, the movers and shakers in Washington and around the world have their eyes on divvying up the spoils.
		However, it is well known that the majors, reeling from attacks on their environmental policies and with an invidious history of meddling in the third world, need stability to drill oil and protect the billion-dollar-plus investments in pipelines.

		Today the tragic conflicts of the war with all its dramatic events should be put aside, as difficult as it is. The facts, however unpleasant they may be, should not be ignored, because they can foster the establishment of the truth on the path to an agreement on the problem of restitution.

	Rape in Times of Conflict and War: United Methodist General Conference Resolution
		And the conquest of women as spoils of war continues to be tolerated in times of conflict.
		The current tribunals against war crimes undertaken in Rwanda and Bosnia have acknowledged rape as a form of torture, since it is not specifically mentioned in existing international laws.
		The extent and frequency of the violation of women in war must not be allowed to deaden sensitivity to this as gross injustice.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		For the next six days all of his moves were directed toward two objectives: the division of Poland and the West by various schemes and proposals for negotiations which he knew the Poles would not accept; and the undermining of French and British confidence by means of the recent agreement with the Soviet Union.
		The fundamental concept of the German plan was to fight a short war that would be over before the British or French armies could get into action--over, in fact, before the Western powers could even make up their minds to fight.
		Hastening to end the war before the Western powers could act, the Germans on September 3 requested the Soviet Union to move against Poland, but the Russians were not ready.

	AllRefer.com - reparations (Treaties And Alliances) - Encyclopedia
		The chaotic German economy and German government resistance made it difficult for the Allies to collect amounts due them, and they in turn declared it impossible to honor their war debts to the United States.
		The Lausanne Pact of 1932 substituted a bond issue for the reparation debt, but Adolf Hitler repudiated the debt, and German payments were not resumed until after 1953.
		Reparations were also demanded in treaties with Germany's allies in the war : Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey : but the amounts were never set and nothing was collected.

	No war for whose oil?
		Because of the "no war for oil" slogan, many people imagine a simplistic scenario, thinking that Washington has been acting to further the interests of US oil companies in grabbing Iraq’s reserves.
		The US will have to fund much of the bill for war (including any payments that Turkey may extract for cooperation) and try to get its allies to share the costs of the rest.
		The Iraqis and their US proconsuls will want to encourage as much competition among the foreign oil firms as they can, since this is the key to good terms.

	Wheels Come Off U.S. War Plans for Iraq
		And the backroom arm-twisting, carrot-offering, wheeling and dealing of the administration to divide the spoils of an Iraqi conquest has also failed to produce the desired outcome: a global blessing for the Empire to do what it wants to do.
		In Washington, D.C. a crowd estimated by police at in excess of 100,000 loudly protested the war on which the administration is betting all of its political chips.
		This is the first time in modern American history that there has been a vocal anti-war movement before the war even started.

	US-UK conflict over the spoils of war (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hewitt has emphasised that while Britain is not involved in the war for “commercial gain” there has to be a “level playing field” in the awarding of contracts for the “reconstruction” of Iraq.
		It is a problem that the “spinmeisters” in the mass media, fresh from their efforts at presenting the war on Iraq as the “liberation” of its people, are already starting to work on.
		It surely speaks volumes for the nature of this war that while not a single “weapon of mass destruction” has been discovered, less than two weeks after its commencement there is a desperate scramble by its perpetrators to carve up the anticipated spoils.

	Spoils of War

	Spoils of War
		After the end of the war, local residents opposed the return of the collection to the museum, refusing to allow its removal, and U.S. occupation troops acquiesced to their demands by permitting the collection to remain under local watch.
		The aftermath of the Gulf War of 1991 brought the looting of nine out of 13 regional museums and the loss over 3,000 artifacts, most of which were never recovered.

	When women are the spoils of war.
		The tribunal was the first to recognize crimes of sexual violence as war crimes and as “grave breaches” imposing on states the duty to search for the allegedly guilty persons and bring them to court or extradite them for prosecution elsewhere.
		Sexual violence is not explicitly called a grave breach in the main law of war documents—the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their 1977 Additional Protocols.
		One exception was the Tokyo World War II trial, where several Japanese officers were charged and held liable for the rape of 20,000 women during the occupation of Nanking (China) in 1937.

	The Wall Street Journal spells it out: Turkey could lose "oil spoils" of war
		For all the denials in Washington and the corporate media, the looming invasion of Iraq is all about oil and strategic control over the Middle East and the wider Central Asian region.
		The Turkish military was demanding joint supervision of the disarmament of the Kurds after the war, for example, and for a buffer zone manned by Turkish troops in northern Iraq, presumably in order to limit the free passage of Kurds into southern Turkey.
		In return for joining the US attack, the Turkish military would be rewarded with control over Kurdish-populated northern Iraq, where a degree of autonomy currently exists, and a cut of the oil proceeds.

		The decision for military action had nothing to do with 9/11, the war on terrorism, the UN weapons inspections, weapons of mass destruction, Iraqi human rights, or any of the factors that the US government would like you to believe are the true motives for war.
		The US government is attempting to justify their plans for war on Iraq, the world's second largest source of oil, by accusing Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction.
		Suspicion that the true motivation for the war on terror is created by the massive arms and oil industries of the West.

		While oil may not be the only reason for a new Gulf War, there is little doubt a successful military seizure of Iraq would have the end result of giving the US control over Iraq's oil reserves.
		The war on Afghanistan allowed the US to place military bases in the nine surrounding countries, all rich in oil and natural gas.
		Whether or not the key members of the Bush administration would personally profit from the spoils of a war on Iraq, their ties to the industry are still a conflict of interest.
