But I have to agree with Yeti on this one.

Some of SDAI's theories fall afoul of the same problems with ALL the "war for oil" theories, the most obvious of which is that the easiest thing in the world to do to get Iraqi oil for America would have been to just lift the sanctions.

Other SDAI predictions may turn out to be true, though maybe not for the reasons given. I, too, predict that once the Democrats are in power, they will fiddle endlessy with the Iraq situation to avoid actually taking a stand on one side or the other.

Wait and see what happens when things come up for a vote.

The Democrats are going to spend their time on minimum wages, drugs for the elderly, and a host of other issues that are popular candy for voters. Other than a number of symbolic pronouncements, don't look for anything solid on Iraq any more than you will see anything useful on rescuing Social Security or Medicare.
