we'll use their oil revenues

I thought we were gonna use the oil revenues to cover OUR costs, not theirs! WTF, tricked again!<G>

Actually, Shrub or Von Rumsfeld (I forget which) was talking up how Iraqi oil belongs to the Iraqi people today...so why should we get a cut at all? And if that's true, I suppose they would continue to stay in OPEC, and we remain dependant on oil forever. Oh, sure, maybe we put in a puppet governement and all, but who's to say they won't be tempted to jack the price up on us? And what would be the basis of our objection if we did? Ah problems, problems....<NG>
