Bush led the U.S. into war with Iraq on incorrect/fabricated intelligence reports. There were no weapons of mass destruction, no ?mushroom cloud? on the horizon and no al Qaeda tie to Saddam Hussein.

Anti-terrorism tactics employed by the Bush administration damaged U.S. standing in the world. Most infamously - Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where terrorism suspects were held without charges. ?Enhanced interrogation? techniques ? called torture by most critics ? scarred the United States? reputation around the world.

As for war profiteering - it's not difficult to find. Google Bush/Carlyle Group/Neil Bush/New Bridges Strategies/Bin Laden Group.

Marvin and Jeb Bush are also highly successful members of the family war profiteering team. Marvin is a co-founder and partner in Winston Partners, a private investment firm, and Jeb is an investor in the Winston Capital Fund, which is managed by Marvin.

Winston Partners is part of the Chatterjee Group, which owned 5.5 million shares in a company called Sybase in 2001, a firm that had contracts worth $2.9 million with the Navy, $1.8 million with the Army and $5.3 million with the Department of Defense. All totaled, the federal procurement database listed the firm?s contracts that year as $14,754,000.

As I said...not hard to find.
