Mq, Thanks for the link to the BP Proved Reserves page. I'd seen figures of $1 Trillion for the Iraqi reserves. The doubling of that makes the prize seem ever so much more worth the effort. Clearly, Halliburton has a bright future ahead of it. Logistics and lunches for the conquering heroes and pizza and pumps for roughnecks. War is a swell racket.........and so is peace. Or was that "piece of the action"? ************** As far as restacking the votes at the UN, I'd agree something ought to be done about the excess influence that Fiji exerts. I've been feeling that pressure all too strongly. ************** Re: Personally, I prefer the USA/UN to take over Iraq, which is ruled by conquest, rather than leave it to Saddam, Uday and his Tikrit clique. UN? That would be a crushing blow to the imperialists who though this racket up. Can you imagine how Perle, Wolfowitz, Kristol and the rest of the PNAC crowd would rise up in righteous wrath and revolt at having to actually share the prize with the UN? Why, they would go apoplectic. Or at least ballistic. No, there will be no sharing the prize. To the victor go the spoils, and the victor clearly will be the powers behind the Boy King's Throne. Besides, it will be more comforting for the Iraqi people to know that they are still in the hands of a kleptocracy.
