The why is simple: to give the US an excuse to grab Iraq's oil so we can
have cheap gas, at least according to those who believe that theory.


Man, that plan failed, didn't it?

I am reading Tommy Franks autobiography right now. The very first thing
we did in Iraq was secure the oil fields to prevent them from being
destroyed. Had we been there for the oil the war would have been over
in 15 minutes.

Not so. We were there for the oil, but Bush and his buddies
underestimated the amount of resistence AND the oil fields are still
being attacked as are the pipelines.
