Iraq may not had any nuclear bombs but it sure has oil underneath their dessert sand, and lots of it. As long as the US Military is over there at huge expense, dying & getting wounded, why not carve out a Rhode Isnad sized oil rich piece of their Iraqi dessert just exclusively for our Amercan gas guzzling oil habit. How's 95 cent reg gas or die sound for a battle cry. '95 regular or die!' Just fill it up with that 95 cent gas from wackie Iraqi. Maybe, call it Saddam Gas, or Bush Gas, or Iraqi gas, or whatever.
In the 19th century didn't England seize Diego Garcia, a small island in the Indian Ocean for use as a British Navy ship coaling station so that's as good a precedent as any. Who knows, a strong US military presence plus a US economic interest in Iraq for their oil may even turn out to be good the the peoples of Iraq for some unthought reason. Plus,as a fatlazyless American, I deserve 95 cent gas for my gas guzzlin' pickup truck. Ayup!..........ahem
