Now tell me. Let's say the US goes after Iraqi oil. We consolidate that position, dividends skyrocket (because oil is "war reparations" and doesn't have to be paid for), and things stabilize.

GWB, with NO evidence, will say that Iraq needs to pay for WTC, and greedy Merkans will go for it.

GWB looks around and wants more oil. Sees Iran. Do you think the Iranis would stand for him using American boys to attack him?

Nope, they'd nuke us.

So, if GWB goes into Iraq (now HE wouldn't, he was AWOL during his war) he will guarantee an attack.

But, the flaw here is that with any bully. He won't attack anyone who could defend themselves. Won't do it.

What the US would do to itself by invading Iraq makes the joke we made of our nation in SE Asia pale in comparison.

We'd be a rogue nation beyond rogue nations. And the juvenile jingoists would be delighted. Always are.

Yep. Sad.

The old guys figured it out. "No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people", and "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel". Both apply here.

Arf (they need the puppets and they always find them. )
