I understand that you people are all patriots, and that you all support Bush. I still think that Bush's biggest intention there is to control the oil flow. Its all money.

We paid a severe price on 911. As it turns out, in this case, the initiating WMDs amounted to a case of box cutters. All that aside, I don't associate control of oil with 911. Nor do I associate the march to Baghdad with the control of oil no more than I consider the fight in Chechnya to be about oil.

I am convinced that the removal of the tyrant in Baghdad was necessary...since had Saddam had the ability during the Gulf war, he would have been dropping those scuds on American soil as well as in Israel.

Was our involvement in Kuwait about oil? I believe it played a major role. However, preventing a tyrannical aggressor from invading his neighbors to control their oil fields had to be considered and was. As a result, Saddam and his bandits were sent home to lick their wounds. In the end, there was a condition for peace...that being among other things, UN inspectors in Iraq preventing Saddam from building WMDs. Subsequently, the tyrannt in defiance of the world thru them out and no one did a damn thing about it until now.

Will we now find WMDs? We know for fact Saddam had them because he used them on the Kurds and no one did a damn thing about that either til now.

Like we found the tyrannical sons, we will eventually find Saddam and his WMDs. At the same time, I believe it necessary to find Saddam for closure. But I don't believe it necessary to find WMDs to support what we did, although I remain convinced, based on the tyrannts history, they are there somewhere or have been shipped to a neighboring ally. Time will tell.
