George Soros.
First he buys a great American political party, his spokesperson's words and not mine BTW.
Then he buys deeply into Halliburton and other defense stocks along with Michael Moore.
Then he opposes the surge by slandering General Petraeus in a Faustian deal with the NYT ... knowing that a success in Iraq would wreak havoc on his war booty.
Now we find that he paid to have the numbers massaged on the Iraqi death toll in order to horrify people in the west and hold back needed military action ... thus prolonging the war, increasing the US death toll, and lining the pockets of Mr Soros and friends.

A STUDY that claimed 650,000 people were killed as a result of the invasion of Iraq was partly funded by the antiwar billionaire George Soros.
Soros, 77, provided almost half the £50,000 cost of the research, which appeared in The Lancet, the medical journal. Its claim was 10 times higher than consensus estimates of the number of war dead.
The study, published in 2006, was hailed by antiwar campaigners as evidence of the scale of the disaster caused by the invasion, but Downing Street and President George Bush challenged its methodology.
New research published by The New England Journal of Medicine estimates that 151,000 people - less than a quarter of The Lancet estimate - have died since the invasion in 2003.
“The authors should have disclosed the [Soros] donation and for many people that would have been a disqualifying factor in terms of publishing the research,” said Michael Spagat, economics professor at Royal Holloway, University of London.<hr /></blockquote>
