Now the answer to the question of why French and Russian govts opposed the war against Saddam is clear!
They, again, didnt care about well being of Iraqis and they just wanted to suck the oil of the nation of Iraq. That is for sure.

Russia and France were the countries with the most companies involved in the oil-for-food program. Big surprise?

Could any of this money have ended up in Clinton's ATM account? (I remember a story, just after he left office, where some unnamed person close to him was expressing amazment at Clinton's poor money management skills, saying that Clinton had more than $1M in an ATM account). I mean, what with Marc Rich's involvement and all.
I expect we'll find out about it, someday.

Sooooo ... the lefties weren't too far away from the truth, eh?
I mean ... it seems the 'no war for oil' signs have disappeared, only to be replaced by the '2000 troops killed' signs.
America will wake up one day and realize that President Bush, that ex-oilman and his adminstration of oilmen and warriors had (have) been rescuing us from being dominated by our own need and desire for oil.
Today, I filled up at ... (are we sitting down yet .... ?)
