<< Why do you think that's funny?? >>

Well....... up to now, everyone is saying that we are going to remove Saddam because he is a brutal, insane thug, who enjoys killing others, who has used chemical weapons on his own people, etc,. etc....

I'm sure that you will agree that Saddam is one of the worst monsters on the globe right now.

Bush is saying that we are not going to War with Iraq for oil.

Buts....... after we defeat Iraq, America should be entitled to the spoils of war, meaning the oil reserves there.

What is the problem with that? How many miles per gallon of oil does it take to drive an Iraqi camel? What in the world would the Iraqis do with the oil? They couldn't take a bath in it, even if they knew what a bath was.

And...... we could charge Germany and France TWICE the price for the oil. That, alone, would be worth our efforts.
