Okay, I agree, Saddam is a good part of the deal, but oil is what it's really all about, if only because oil is funding the terrorist Jihadists and the way to cut off the terrorists is to cut off their oil profits and states allowing them to function.

Osama wants the oil. Saddam wants the oil. Cobalt Blue wants the oil. Chirac wants the oil. Tony wants the oil. Exxon wants the oil. I need a bit too, for my Segway wheel bearings when I buy one. $3 trillion is quite a big bit of cheese. Especially when it's next door to another $5 trillion of the stuff.

We'll see who gets the oil and that'll give us an idea of what it was really about. If King George II isn't after the oil, then USA oil companies won't have any inside running on acquiring it. Colonisation Powell says it'll be used to develop Iraq.


Putting the screws to Saudi Arabia is a big part of the strategy. The world is too polite with regards to Saudi Arabia. Without Saudi Arabia, September 11 would not have happened. Leave Saudi Arabia to it's own devices, September 11 will happen again.

Saddam has a nice geographic location next to the source of Islamist terrorism, a wonderful supply of oil and a bad habit of painting a target on his forehead.
