Snearing Dispatch from the enemy:

British Royal Marines take prisoners after securing the al-Faw oil field in southern Iraq (news - web sites), March 21, 2003. U.S.-led allied troops moved swiftly on Friday to secure Iraq's vital oil facilities and snuff out oilfield fires on day two of a war Washington says is not about capturing the country's vast petroleum wealth.

It is a liberation and the poor Iraqi folks know it. Their big fear now is in showing their elation. Last time they did this, back in 1991, thinking we had liberated them, Saddam went on a murderous rampage. They haven't forgotten that. They want to be DANG sure Bush II is gonna take Saddam out so they can celebrate openly. Many are already starting to celebrate.

Iraq is coming out of the Dark Ages - and it is a pleasure to see.

"About oil? That is plain silly. Did we seize Kuwaiti oil? Hell, we let them stay in OPEC"

If you're not convinced this war is not primarily about oil, you're totally naive... What were the first military objectives?? re; Kuwait.....I thought we liberated Kuwait, so what do you mean "we" let them stay in OPEC.... BTW, when was Kuwait's last election.....?
