The question is whether we want the 2nd largest oil reserve in the world controlled by a dictator Now you are being honest and exposing the administration's dishonesty. There has been no dishonesty on this issue. While they obviously have to de-emphasize the "oil" aspect when speaking to the analytically challenged media, they have addressed it up front before mature audiences who have the gumption to understand that oil is essential to our national security. The fact is that WMD and humanitarian issues are part of the formula as well. It is the height of hypocrisy for you to be supportive of Clinton's actions in Kosovo while opposing the United States taking action in Iraq. The fact that we have legitimate national security interests in Iraq which we didn't in Kosovo, logically ought to bolster the reasons for dealing with Iraq. But in your apparently convoluted reasoning, we are LESS justified in moving against Iraq. Honestly, the liberal position just makes no sense at all.
