All of that Ray, and you offer not a word concerning the thrust of my argument. You thoroughly ignore it without stated reason, when you conclude: "but we do deserve to live as, What? The masters of the Caspian Petroleum Prize? That is, in the end, what all the folderol since the 911 incident is all about."
Maybe Ray, it("folderol?")is far more about the obvious, i.e. stopping the folks who took down two large towers full of people from all over the world, than anything else. Sometimes Ray, a duck is just a duck. And certainly, your analysis that, "(oil is) in the end, what all the folderol since the 911 incident is all about," cannot be the case. I and millions of Americans who care about being terrorized, are living proof. Just ask.
In short Ray, even were the theories you accept correct(and I strongly think not), my argument would stand strong. You haven't touched it. Oh, you link to sources which say Bush sought gas yonder, and prevented the discovery of the 911 plot as he sought that gas, via a pipeline, via hopefully good relations with the Taliban! Swell, Ray...but it doesn't touch, let alone address my argument, even if wholly and demonstrably true.
