Hello, It was always about oil and there really isn't any debate there...none, nada, zero, zilch.
So you have to ask yourself WHY would this administration be so willing to put us at an even greater risk of terrorism though their actions and kill world opinion of the USA so quickly or easily. 1. Money...Iraq had converted to the EURO for it's oil dealings, if others in OPEC had followed suit the US dollar could quite likely of tanked. 2. Money...Their just greedy oil barons.. Doubtful since by attacking Iraq we guaranteed that we'd be thrown out of Saudi Arabia a source of oil we already had 'control over'....which is now happened. 3. Asymmetric Warfare with Strategic Competitors (China)...quite likely. Many believe the real issue at hand is the long term threat of China capturing those oil wells, if they would have it <could> of lead to total world domination by China. There is/was a huge power vacuum created when Russia fell apart and China had been filling that vacuum. China is the true long term threat of the United States and ultimately the free world. I don't believe in Bush's NWO, but then I don't speak Chinese either so I guess I'm screwed either way. Bush congressional ally says China run by 'decrepit tyrants' (lump's them in with the axis of evil) http://sg.news.yahoo.com/030603/1/3bhzt.html Remember our bombing of the embassy when they were trying to figure out how to track our stealth planes and the latest incident the spy plane being rammed by the nimble fighter. Also North Korea is nothing but the lips and teeth of China and look at their tone towards the US...it's really China's tone. When China has something inflammatory to say...North Korea says it instead. Either way the war WAS unconstitutional and has damaged my beloved homeland internationally to say the least. Maybe everyone will take the time to read the constitution and note that the President doesn't have the authority to declare war and vote out of office those that abdicated their responsibility to him on a silver platter. I won't go into the abuse of the Executive Order in the last 10 or so administrations! ... The end justifies the means?
