Perhaps it's just your POINT that escapes me. Are you saying that "seizing oil" is a valid justification for war, which was the implication of your post to which I initially replied (and perhaps the one after that as well), or that it's Bush's real intent, perhaps as a reversion to your early theory that this is all about enriching his Texas oil buddies?

And by "seizing oil", do you mean "confiscate" or "capture", or simply creating a situation where Iraqi oil becomes readily available on the world market without artificial constraints or conditions? If the latter, I agree that this would be a desirable consequent of the overthrow of Saddam, but it hardly qualifies as "seizing" in any known sense of the word. If the former, then you are clueless and hysterical.
