if USA does not grab Iraqi oil
if Islamic War cuts off oil delivery shipping lanes
if USA realizes other non-Arab disruptions to oil (Venezuela)

then the US economy just might see $60-80-100 crude oil
and that would send our economy into a tailspin
I still maintain that Iraq will not be invaded by US Forces
that would occur without European or UN support
it would signal a dangerous new precedent of pre-emptive attack

we claim to possess Iraqi evidence of WMD
but not revealing has more power than revealing
(kind of like heightened expectation of earnings)

so we can complain all we want about motives on the Iraqi front
but it all comes down to securing oil
Russia wont be able to make up the difference

eventually Saudi Arabian oil production will be interrupted and shut down temporarily
from internal civil strife
from shaky Fahd Regime succession of power
from Wahabbi attacks on secular leadership

all this talk about quick resupply of oil is incredibly stupid, naive, and baseless
we havent solved the security problems at borders & airports
we havent brought the WTC conspirator leaders to justice
we havent subdued the Talibans in Afghany

so in order to secure future oil supplies, we threaten Sodomy
we go after the only enemy whose location is known
while we largely ignore BedLinen and the AlQaeda gang

this is about oil
and the saving of our economy in future months
as the Islamic War widens
it has little to do with Weapons of Mass Destruction
it never did, it never will
but that satisfies the ignorant, illiterate, myriad masses

we hope to be sitting on the Iraqi oilfields when it happens
because the Saudi oilfields will be interrupted

before long I expect an Arab and Iranian boycott of USA again
just like 1973
I lived through it, endured it, and it was scary
