In any event this isn't a war, it's a liberation. Ah, I see. But they don't appear to want to be liberated. Or are all these photos of naked Iraqis and leashes a sign of newly liberated Iraqi sexual attitudes? I mean if its all consensual, who are we to care. Yes, that's the right spin for Rummy. Or is liberating the oil supply the only goal? Gasoline futures at all time record highs, now 8 days in a row. BTW, there is no government in Iraq, nothing ratified by its people, yet billions are on tap to go to certain oil companies. There is no authority in that country to dish out oil rights and contracts, yet it is happening. That is not liberation. That is occupation and confiscation of another peoples property. Yah, Saddam was a bad ass dude but we seem to be playing equally bad assed games too.
