Wait, I forgot - regime change is a means to seizing the oil for Bush's greedy Texas oil buddies. What's all this talk about WMDs? It's all about oil, and you know it. ;-)

<<Of course regime change is a means to an end! Hell-o! Do you think that we're pursuing this for any other reason than to eliminate the WMD threat to ourselves and our allies? Jeez, GST, what the hell do you think our goals are here?>> Good grief -- The entire debate over Iraq just passes you by -- do you not understand why journalists are asking again and again and again "point blank" about our goal? Do you not understand why world leaders are making statement after statement after statement about their dismay over our goal? Do you not understand why key figures are pressed to clarify their goals again and again and again to see if anybody is crazy enough to support what we set out as our goal? Do you not understand why so many in the Administration are now trying over and over and over again to try to reframe our goal so that it does not sound so crazy? The reason for ALL OF THIS is because the goal of regime change -- NOT the pursuit of regime change as a means to disarm -- was put out there as THE goal of the US for an entire year! It left the whole world baffled and shocked and concerned and seeking to distance itself from us -- H-E-L-L-O Bill. Is there anybody home?
