It's interesting to read this headline news item from Thursday February 5, 1998 csmonitor.com Congress was expected to pass a bipartisan resolution urging Clinton to "take all necessary and appropriate actions to respond to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction program." Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, just returned from talks with Arab and European leaders, planned to meet with member of Congress to urge passage of the resolution sponsored by Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R) of Mississippi and minority leader Tom Daschle (D) of South Dakota.

Re: "just how much does oil policy play in Bush's Iraq initiative?" If this article is to be believed, Bush's main goal is control of world oil markets. What the White House really wants September 28 2002 The unifying element in an often-contradictory US foreign policy is the dream of toppling OPEC and controlling the world oil market. And Iraq is the key, writes Paul McGeough from Riyadh. Another quote: For now, the urge to give history a label even as it is happening has forced many to embrace Bush's name for this global upheaval - the war on terror. History, however, may well record it as the first oil war of the 21st century. smh.com.au
