<<We'd have done better to negotiate, pay a premium and get some "right" that was recognizable in the international community. We'll see if we can set up an interim government to give us the military presence and the long term contracts the Bush Administration came for. >> What long term contracts are you speaking of? You do realize that France, Russian and the UN had their hands in the oil prize? You are way to cynical, the economic pie can grow bigger and the goal is that the Iraqi's prosper while helping the world to prosper with secure oil. I would never pay a premium to Saddam I cannot believe you would have suggested we follow the scoundrels in the UN. I suppose pumping billions of dollars and the lives of our citizens is stealing their oil. Yes it would have been cheaper to be French. We are living in the onset of peak oil, it is not something we can put off any longer. 20 years from now we will be in a different world.
