After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Ed Rasimus
blurted out: Since you acknowledge the perfection of hindsight, you might review what we did after we took control of the sea of oil on which Iraq sits in 1991. We turned control back over to Sadaam. We turned Kuwait back over to the Kuwaitis (after we put out the fires for them.) No argument...the Coalition of UN nations was defending the sovereignty of Kuwait. There was no mission against the axis of evil. You might want to check who buys and uses Iraqi oil--the French and the Russians mostly. Less than 5% of American oil purchases come from Iraq. It mostly goes to Europe and N. Asia. Fair enough, was I mistaken when various news sources (including FoxNews "fair and balanced"...hehe) reported that one way of paying for our freeing the iraqi people would be through iraqi oil revenue? Think of it as a thank you. Perhaps we will demand payment as a proper jesture of gratitude. (So who cares where it is sold, we only need concern ourselves with receiving a portion of the income.) How do you suppose we convince the iraqi authority to pay american taxpayers for their efforts? Stop and think about that, there is no central iraqi government...not yet anyway. We are currently controlling (I'm happy to use the expression "administering" iraqi oil as a euphemism). I suspect this will not always be the case, nor do I have a crystal ball predicting when american control/administration will end. Juvat |
