The loss of Iraqi oil production today would be quite painful. During the next four years its importance will only grow. Imagine a plan to help grow production that might help stabilize world oil prices Why can't the US continue buying its oil on the open market like everybody else? What is your vision of an Iraq-US relationship? Have you every thought this through? Are you envisioning Iraq becoming a source for us to obtain oil at BELOW market prices? Is Iraq to be our trillion dollar gas pump? Our very own personal supply? A military occupation of a foreign country is not a very cost effective way to obtain oil. And if you're expecting that very expensive oil to then be sold at below market prices, well, that's both crazy and socialistic. We're a rich country and can continue buying oil until the very last drop. Nothing's going to cut us off from being able to buy oil on the open market, so unless you see something I don't see on the world scene, I don't know why you'd make such a statement. The days of colonization and client states are over. Ignoring that fact it's morally wrong to do so, that kind of imperialism is just too darned expensive in this day and time.
