Once again, is it your position that Bush wants to start a war with Iraq so that American oil companies, in which he holds zero financial
interest, can benefit?

Look, I sent you links and commentary


I can get links and commentary just like you can. But unlike you, I don't automatically assume these people know more than I do about a given subject, unless there are some kind of credentials involved.

The question remains:

Is it your position that Bush wants to start a war with Iraq so that American oil companies, in which he holds zero financial nterest, can benefit?

Al, <You come back with naive statements as if you did not realize that the world of politics works and cathers to special interests. It's not bad. It's the way it is. This becomes unacceptable when it involves the blood of your countrymen.>

I'm a special interest. You're a special interest. The members of the U.N. are all special interests. Every damn one of us is a special interest. Remember that every time you fill up your gas tank.

Like I said before, I agree with you. It IS all about oil. The Middle East would not be such a powder keg if the world didn't revolve around oil. Hussein's appeasers have their own agendas in mind, just like you accuse Bush of having his own agendas. Without the oil, Hussein would be no more dangerous than a two-bit Somali warlord.

So lose the conspiracy theories. Tell me how effective diplomacy will be in containing the threats of a madman.
