yes, it is about oil -- it isn't about Sadam except indirectly. We will occupy Iraq for much longer than Afghanistan ... someone friendly will be there when we leave and Saudis will no longer have us over a barrel -- or that's the plan, I'd bet

Remember -- Saudis flew those planes and they are still teaching that stuff over there and financing it everywhere, too

you and i and every english speaking caucasian on the planet better hope that isn't true, because if we try to colonize iraqi oil fields without going into bagdad we're not only going to piss of some folks who are extremely angry already, we are going to severely piss of the entire planet.

puts a new spin on why the french have firepower in the area...it's not for saddam, it's for the US...
