Is War Policy Influenced by the Weapons Industry?

Why is nothing said about the strong connection of the Bush administration with the weapons industry? Bush has appointed to his administration more executives and stockholders from the weapons industry  than from any other industry -- 32 according to studies. Is the media afraid to consider the "weapons" influence on the war and the potential policy impact that the "weapons industry" components of the Bush administration may be having? The weapons industry is the biggest business in the world -- 800 Billion a year.                    

Bush revoked US participation in the small arms proliferation treaty and he has protected records on the sale of weapons -- even from the FBI and CIA -- according to some reports. Recently Bush openly encouraged members of NATO to purchase more weapons and better arm themselves. We depleted our bomb supply with carpet bombing of Afghan mountains and spent billions of dollars on weapons doing so. We now plan to spend billions more on weapons. War is a big business -- the biggest. Could war be a marketing strategy?

History shows us that weapons sales to both sides of a war (the Krups) and the finance of war for both sides (the Rothschilds) is a reality that is worthy of some consideration.
