Hi Scott, Have you added up the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of articles, plus your own personal wild speculation that, thus far, has been completely wrong? Given this undeniable fact, why should I give any credibility to your new round of speculation? For that matter, why would anyone believe anything you post?

zero reconstruction in Afghany in 19 months that is your clue about Iraqi reconstruction of course, I mean outside the oil fields our motives are becoming plain & clear 1. grab oil fields 2. grab airbases for military 3. force conversion of oil to dollars no Weapons of Mass Destruction no protection of Iraqi Musem, saving antiquities no protection of nuclear radioactive materials at various sites no open bidding for oil upgrade contracts no reconstruction latest, shoot looters no sight the liberation has now transformed into occupation the natives are happier, now playing soccer and chanting Shiite stuff I dont expect any reconstruction only more snipers I will admit to being dead wrong about resistance to defend Baghdad their army was far more ragtag and coerced into service than I imagined look to Afghanistan as the model not a single road now regular skirmishes, ambushes, and violence many old tribes are on the loose, operating at night chaos is returning too bad Afghans have no oil we would care more / jim
