But when the intent of US actions is to act militarily to manage oil prices from the Gulf, to the benefit of the US, it's hard to call it otherwise. Lol! You are really wound up today, John. What evidence do you have for this "manage oil prices" bit? Sure, it's about oil. But what you don't understand is that it is about preventing Saddam--presumptively armed with nukes--from controlling its flow to the detriment of just about every Western economy. Your paranoid formulation suggests a nefarious scheme that brings John D. Rockefeller back from the dead to impose rationality on the oil market to keep oil prices low for the benefit of the US. Did you really read Pollack's book? I suppose damned little of it sank in. Do you remember '91, when Saddam, without nukes, was at the Saudi's borders?
