It's not about taking out Saddam, it's about doing it smart to minimize costs and casualties on our side. What was the big rush? From the stories I've heard, Cheney and crew were drawing up plans to invade Iraq for it's oil mainly prior to 9-11. They wanted to punish Saddam, but also change the strategic map by taking Iraq's oil and controlling oilfields from Iraq across Asia Minor, thereby neutralizing the power of OPEC, or becoming their own OPEC. And of course companies like Halliburton would be greatly eneiched in the process. Message 19457747 Yet another fact based post that includes links, etc. It's also appalling that a company like Halliburton is going to make money working in their oil fields. Why couldn't the contracts have been given to Wallmart or something? I mean the thought of giving a contract to a company to fix an oil line just because that's what the company does is just appalling. Oh and AS, you should really stop listening to stories while cuffing your cookie and fantasizing about Kerry. It's causing you to distort facts.
