" I say why isn't Iraq paying us back with oil, and paying every

injured soldiers -- and why didn't they pay for their own liberation?
For the Kuwait oil minister -- how short his memory is. You know, we
have every right to go in there and frankly take all their oil and
make them pay for the liberation."

All it would require is another invasion. *Troops are already there so
why not? *It's why we went there in the first place.

I thought the war in Iraq was to take their oil? Isn't that why
Haliburton was involved?

Not to get political, but I keep waiting for those folks to say they were wrong
- the ones who said Bush was just out to get Iraq's oil.

Speaking of presidents making money on oil, have you seen how gas prices have
gone up? Wonder where Obama and crew are putting all that wealth.

It's obvious now that Bush's goal was to bankrupt the country.

Herring and Bertie Poop. *They still don't realize the depth of
stupidity and poor planning (if there was any beyond their wild
assumptions) exhibited by Bush, Cheney and the rest of the PNAC crew.

No surprise here.

I think the Dubya Bush Admin "thinking" went something like this:

"We got our butts handed to us on 9-11, we've gotten nowhere looking for
bin Laden, the American people want us to take action and if we don't,
we'll be voted out in 2004, so...let's trump up a war against Saddam
Hussein."

Despite the protestations against war you hear from many in the
military, the reality is that a war is the best way for more of the
military to stay in uniform and obtain promotions.

I think it was more sinister. *Bush wanted to kick Saddam's ass for
embarassing his dad, Cheney wanted to build an excuse to be in the
driver's seat of that big assed pool of oil under Iraq.

Bush got his wish at the cost of 5,000 Americans and what will be a
trillion dollars.

The military is a self-sustaining group. *So many congressmen in their
pockets with constituent jobs spread across the country and big checks
from builders of bombs, bullets and planes for their campaign coffers.

That's without the Cheney/Haliburton/KBR circle jerk.

Speaking of circle jerks. How are things between you, Krause, and
D'Plume? Is Paul still your pivot man?
