Yeah, that is why Kofi Annan said that Iraq had to comply with inspections or face the consequences, because he is so concerned with "oil barons". Where do you get this tripe?

Yes, making the American Iraqi Colonial Command a major Persian Gulf producer of crude oil for the next 10 to 20 years is what REALLY bugs a lot of Europeans. For us, of course, it's a major positive. We will destroy the Iraqi regime and replace it with one of our own for the reasons specified: The current regime finances terrorism worldwide, develops large-scale weapons for terrorist's acts, and, by it's very existence, assurs the many other inferior cultures in the Islamic world that America will never get them. That latter is most important, and the destruction of Iraq will send a message to Islamic murderers everywhere in the world.

The free oil is a bonus...

It will have a positive effect on the stock of the companies of the Texas oil barons who will be lining up to drill and remove Iraqi oil....

Regime change in Iraq will lead to the end of UN-imposed restrictions on Iraqi oil sales. What does an increase in supply of a commodity lead to?

Moron the government makes way more per gallon of gas than the oil company.
The decade of " GREEDY LAWYERS" has wiped out most of the profits from the 90's. The greatest wealth transfer in the history of this nation was from the public and business to the government and greedy trial lawyers.
