I agree, there's a lot of money to be made for a select and connected few.
I think this administration wants to tread water and dump the unpleasantness of pulling the troops out into the next administration's lap.
The most paranoid suggestion I've heard (from Jesus Camp, the movie) is that G.W. Bush, being a member of the evangelical right, welcomes the "end times" and is not adverse to pushing us towards it. This may seem pretty wacky, but it did make me say "whoa". There are a lot of things to consider about the role of religion in the current administration.
