The entire article your quote is only an argument that the US is facing and will continue to face and energy problem or problems. It doesn't even attempt to make the case that he war against Iraq is all about oil. Indirectly it does........oil and gas have become rarer and rarer commodities on the planet. No one knows when alternative fuel will be more than just a buzz word. Therefore, you want as many friendly oil nations on the planet as possible, producing as much oil as possible. The Iraqi oil industry was becoming less and less productive under Saddam; it was time for him to go. We didn't do Iraq for the Iraqi people.....that was a side product......we did it for ourselves. And it doesn't matter whether we steal the oil outright, or if our companies go in and take over the industry. No matter how much money Iraq gets out of the deal we will be seen as thieves. Bush is playing a dangerous games where the risks are huge and the payoff big but not quite as big. I have a suspicion that long term, it will backfire in our faces. ted
