Where are the environmentalists? They should be praising the war plan. If we hadn't gone in early, risking the lives of all our SOFs and regular ground forces, there would surely be many, many more oil wells on fire (causing terrible air pollution) and probably another gigantic oil spill (actually oil 'dump' would be more accurate) in the gulf. Still having trouble with confrontation so you sing to the choir! Of course, we didn't do it just for environmental reasons. A large part of it was to save money by not having to rebuild as much stuff afterward. But averting environmental disaster was surely a factor. Averting environmental disaster? The wells are not capped yet.......there is significant burn off resulting from the fires Saddam started and they are polluting the air badly. The only reason we went in early was to secure the wells so that there would be money flowing to aid in the rebuilding after the war was over........and must I remind you, we will need that money badly since there is no one else helping to shoulder the cost of this rebuilding. And must I further remind you, the most valuable wells are in the North, and they are not secured as of yet. They could have easily waited until all the troops were in the region before moving the ground troops in. Just bomb for a month like last time. Bush, the TRUE environmentalist. You really hate living in OR, don't you? ted
