"The ability to cut of cheap ME oil is the ultimate terror weapon. Don't think for a minute that the militants haven't thought about that aspect of things. It's an area in which I feel we are horribly vulnerable." We along with the rest of the developed are vulnerable to that. But we are more vulnerable with Saddam gone than we were with him as severely contained as he was before the invasion. There were other diplomatic initiatives we could have taken to even more severely contain him with losing him as security blanket in Iraq and without alienating countries which ought to be allies. But we had to be THE top dog, instead of just the Top Dog, if you get my drift. Gotta go now.
