" We buy their oil; to show the world that the United States and the arms embargo is not responsible for the mass starvation of the Iraqi people. "

Coming from the RW I find that very touching. But why don't we simply ship them food and medicine directly instead of providing them with raw cash through oil purchases which the war hawks are sure is being used to support terrorism and which therefore must be stopped through an invasion????
And btw, I don't recall Clinton ordering movement of land forces to the ME in response to Iraqi moves......air strikes yes, land moves....no.
