If Bush wanted the price of oil up, he would ignore the Iraq problem until a large number of Americans (liberal as well as conservative) were murdered by the next Iraq-financed terrorist operation. The talk about Iraq digging in and somehow holding off overwhelming force, ala Stalinist Russia in 1941-42, is the mumbling of the insane. Iraq, whenever attacked, will fold like a cheap suit, and the world price of oil with it. NO CASE has ever been made against ANWAR drilling. The arguments are the typical, irrational ravings of the anti-humanity environmental left, and are used solely by the Kerry-types as a symbolic issue to feed the fever of his far left wing America-hating base. Nevertheless, if Bush wanted a desperate Congress to approve ANWAR, HE'D LEAVE SADDAM ALONE, and the world would continue to buy oil from him. There is now a 98% chance we will move on Iraq, and Saddam will disappear (while liberals spend the next 10 years accusing Bush of 'not finding Saddam', like they are trying with the late Osama Bin-Laden). With Iraq suddenly an American colony, and being advertised to any better-suited colony-managing nation than the US (We can't manage colonies-we'd be too busy socializing their medical system to keep them from blowing up our colonial administration building and playing to our left wing press), it will be OUR oil. When the client state takes possession of our new colony, we will retain a ownership interest in the oil. And with a large source of the world's oil now in the possession of more stable (and probably non-Islamic) elements, oil will sell in it's natural range of $18 to $22 per barrel. The cost will be that the Kerrys will continue to be able to demagogue ANWAR until an increasingly more savvy America gets tired of his ilk, and tosses the lot of them...
