Why *isn't* it about oil? That would actually make sense. War for profit
has a very long history... it has rather low moral standing, but it is
entirely logical.

Maybe because during the development of it oil hit its highest price ever.
Maybe because there is no coherent theory backing up such a claim. Maybe
because the oil is already flowing, but not to us. Nice little history lesson
there, Doug. Why don't you enlighten us with the last time the US conducted a
war for profit.

.. It may be about misconceived notions of democracy-building,
but it ain't about oil.

In other words, it's about something vague & undefined, impractical &
extremely expensive, and against the declared policy of Bush & Cheney's
administration. But this allows equally vague pretension to moral
superiority.

Uh, whatever. Your problem is you take everything too personally and you can't
back down in the face of being wrong. There is no pretension to moral
superiority here.

... Use what little of your brain hasn't been addled by
following around your liberal masters like a little baby chick.

Use what little of your brain exists in the first place to observe the
world for yourself, and try to grasp the principles by which people &
countries act.

The choice: war for oil, profitable yet evil... war for
democracy-building, very very unprofitable (especially politically) and
stupid...

Again, with the war for profit thing. Lay out a detailed explanation. Who is
going to profit and how? Wait, let me guess, Halliburton. Oh but there was no
response to my explanation to you the other day that one could profit with much
less risk in the market generally. No meat here from Doug, as usual.

Bush is stupid but Cheney is not. They both have a long lng history of
profit seeking... hmmm... this is really a puzzler...

You are proving yourself to be a real crank, buying into long-discredited
conspiracy theories. "long history of profit seeking" bwahahahahahaha - like
its evil or something. You crack me up.
