Is this a surprise? I always thought that Bush should have demanded that the Iraqis should PAY for all the development we were giving them, since they happen to have rich oil fields.

This is, I suppose, partly Bush’s fault for not demanding it. But he had a real problem politically, back home, since the moonbats all insisted that he and Cheney were “evil Texas oilmen,” and that we were only in Iran for oil.

Well, and why else? We went into Iran in part to ensure an oil supply to the West.

So, now it goes to China? No doubt with Obama’s blessings.

Aargh. Iraq, not Iran. I pulled the trigger too soon.

I seem to remember George W. Bush promising that the war in Iraq would be financed by Iraqi oil.
