MY, you're being cheerful today!

A regional war on US pull-out without a stable Iraqi gov't is a certainty. The Saudis have already said they will intervene to protect the Sunnis if the US pulls out. Now the Saudi population is too small for them to do it thenselves. But they can buy a lot of mercenaries.

I don't think Russia would sit this out either.

These guys say 20% of US oil imports come from the Persian Gulf area.

Europe got 52% (!!!!) of its oil from Saudi. Europe's in too. China has sufficient proven reserves to be self-sufficient for a good while if they can get the eqpt to get it.

Why CAN'T our liberal frends see this???? It doesn't matter if George nade a mistake or lied his way into this; we're there. The ONLY thing that matters now is how we get out.
