Stabilized oil pricing will pay that back in multiples.

>>> :) Maybe, but to WHOM? (The Prez has already promised that Iraq's oil will remain Iraq's... not ours). As to World oil prices dropping with the end of the war, no doubt they will (but how will that be any different from the scenario where there was no war?)

>>> I think oil development in Central Asia and Russia will play a much bigger role in keeping oil prices from rising too fast (note that I said: 'keep from rising too fast', not a 'sustainable fall in prices').

I feel that the ONLY way that the US can station a force of that size there is if the US leads the effort to establish a permanent Palestinian state.

>>> Perhaps, but I would add the caviat "if a state is established (not merely "an effort made"), and if peace - or at least an absence of active hostilities - then ensues.
