Post to me From Julie on the Fool in Italics

How is it that Saddam Hussein is suddenly an imminent threat to the worlds biggest over-armed superpower? We all know how business works a little better than the average schmo. Follow the money, my fellow stocktraders and tell me its NOT about the oil.

Oil and $ and are but a part of it.
You missed the #1 reason.
Why then?

6)To get our minds off the problems of the day (economy etc)
5)To focus on a new enemy (one we can beat) since we can not find the other one
4)Daddy's Revenge
3)Money
2)Oil
1)Power

Yes folks the #1 reason is power.
Prince George wants a war now to Rally America around him in hopes that Republicans take control of both the house and the senate.

Price George will then be appointed King George and given all the war powers he wants.
