Re: I just don't see how the TOHOEs can seriously be thinking we take them unscathed.

Good point. The other sales gimmick TOHOE***s use is to speculate wildly that Iraq's undiscovered oil reserves are nearly boundless. Shades of The South Seas Bubble, Tulipomania and any number of other extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds. We all know trees grow to the stars.

***Cf. Standard Oil's interests in prospecting in the South China Sea off Haiphong Harbor in 1963-4 and the subsequent Tonkin Gulf Resolution. Finally proven to be non-commercial three decades and three million casualties later.
