Of course, many large US corporations are more than happy to pay directly into the coffers of the Republican party.

Hardly, considering that the financial income France was hoping to obtain would have only occured if Saddam was still in power and able to pay them what he owed them.
Germany couldn't afford to enter into the war, for financial and political reasons, and if they had, the costs to the German goverment would have outweighed the income in tax from german contractors, leaving a net loss, such as what america is experiencing.
So thanks for backing up what I've said.
