The "stuff" to be found is oil. Everybody knows it's there.
The rest is spin-land.

Uh-huh... Everytime I hear peaceniks like yourself default back to the "no blood for oil" argument, I feel like I've been put through the spin cycle of a stone washing...

Especially when you leave out the ALREADY REVEALED TIES France and Russia have with Saddam..

The only thing more cynical about believing Bush is doing this solely for oil is to believe that the French and Russians are not..

Why else would they go to such extents to protect Saddam from being ousted??

Oil is one of many necessary factors(Bush Cheney were brought up in oil). Bush-Cheney ALSO really believe that Hussein would spread WMDs to rogue states if given the chance. Wolfowitz is a hard core Democracy spreader. Condi believes in re-making the Arab world.

No doubt oil is big. It is quite sick the way Halliburton subsidiaries are winning these "rebuild Iraq" contracts. But there is much more than oil here.
