hope Bush and his cronies are not into for the oil. I know oil plays some role in this mess but I don't believe Bush is lining his pockets. ted, Out of curiosity, what form of payoff do you think is even possible for "Bush and his Cronies"? Would you envision the US Military just seizing the oilfields and holding them for Exxon's troops to come and occupy, or what? Might Haliburton's military come in and mine the Iraqi oilfields? Just trying to figure out how "Bush & Cronies" might take home some pay out of this deal...

tejek, re:I hope Bush and his cronies are not into for the oil. I know oil plays some role in this mess but I don't believe Bush is lining his pockets. I would agree it doesn't make any sense given Bush Sr. was there before and didn't make a pile of cash - yet that was one of the TV talking points before the war last time around. As for the Germans, it's sort of funny - Germany doesn't want to go to war?! I mean - given their history, same goes for the Japanese - guess when the Americans kick your ass and rebuild your country you lose your taste for war. ;-) I guess we forgot to do that part (rebuild it) in Iraq last time. One things for sure - our economy and my portfolio can't stand endless more months of this crap, either let's go to war or let Saddam back into the big clubhouse.
