After the invasion and occupation it was widely thought that Iraq oil would flow in such quantities that there would never be shortages again, and that OPEC would be on the ropes. It was never the case that we would get a windfall of oil from Iraq, but Bush implied that just as he implied a connection between Iraq, al Qaeda and 9/11. It was Saudis who commandeered the planes. HELLO Americans! Wake up. I read that hearing Iraq and terrorist and al Qaeda mentioned in the same context repeatedly was what convinced America there was a connection, despite the fact those WH criminals were careful NOT to say there was a connection. The implication was ENOUGH for many wingers to take up the cry of invade Iraq. THEY deserve whatever fate befalls us. Sadly, we who cried out against this will reap the same.
