<<We invade ... and occupy an oil-rich Arab country, which was doing nothing to threaten us." >> In case you have not noticed we are seeing the beginning of a trend in the oil supply demand balance that will have far reaching circumstances. Since we consume 25% of this increasingly expensive commodity we could not afford to have Saddam attack another oil rich country or retain power to extort us through Iraq's own supply. He managed to interfere with reliable exports from Iran, Kuwait, Iraq ad he threatened SA. With three strikes against our jugular vein we would be seriously wounded if we left him armed and within striking distance of our oil supply. Jacob is dreaming of our exit from Iraq, oil production is at prewar levels and increasing. We will never leave the Persian Gulf area in a position where our national security is at risk. Al Qaeda knows full well the power they would wield over us if they could disrupt or control oil flow from the Persian Gulf. It is a fantasy to think we would leave this area to our enemies. csis.org
