Despite all denials to the contrary, I believe this war is about and for OIL! and for the safety of Israel! I have written elsewhere on the "America Under Siege" thread and on the "Raptor's Den" thread that the Iraq war will kill
several birds with one stone --- the emasculation of the Palestinians and of Al Qaeda, the elimination of the Saddam regime and assuring the safety of Israel, and perhaps later on the emasculation of the rising power of China. Furthermore, with the US eventually getting control of all oil in the Middle East, the economy of the world can be manipulated in terms of oil. I wonder how gold will be affected if this does indeed transpire.

It is remarkable lots of folks swallow, hook-line-and-sinker, that the war is a humanitarian war.

When the principal partners (US & Britain) in the coalition set about helping the Iraqis using Iraqi oil, I am sure big businesses in the US and UK will secure highly favorable mega contracts that will return megabbucks profits for them. Guess who are most of the guys in control of big businesses worldwide?

Even Mr. Klein (Premier of Alberta) has just said he supports the US in the war against Iraq even though Chretien has reiterated he was against the war. Mr. Klein insisted he was entitled to his opinion. My opinion is that Mr. Klein and his homegrown big oil buddies who support him have their sights set on the Iraqi oil, too! and they do not wish to be left out when contracts are dished out.
