Gus > As you likely remember, I've posted scores of messages debunking what I dismiss as the "Oil Myth":

Ah! And there you're at it again -- you make an assertion, quote it many times -- and voila -- it is a fact!

I have never claimed that the acquisition/control of oil was the ONLY reason the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, but it was a damn important one and for you to continue to deny it demonstrates your obsession with Judeofascism (as you call it) as the only motive the US could possibly have had.

Wishful thinking or not, and for what it's worth, it's the worst rift I'm aware of and the one that's discussed the most.
