That would have been perfect if we were united, like just after 9/11.

That would have been the perfect time to do it...Saudi Arabia looked a lot more culpable than Iraq.

However, with the Fifth-Column DUmbos and their MSM allies, egging the world against us, impeaching the President and accusing us of "blood for oil", this would be an impossible task.

That really didn't start up until we went into Iraq.

You have to admit, though, if it weren't for oil, we'd have little or no interest in the Middle East at all.

I respect your opinion, but I beg to differ. I think we recognize Israel’s right to exists and many in the ME do not. I would hope we would stand for Israel’s right to exist. I don’t know how far we would go and that is why I respect your opinion.

Substitute Saudi Arabia for Iraq and go against all I listed! Add to this what I mentioned before about "allies" and a billion Moslems rioting around the world.

Correct. However, recent history showed that "stealing oil", as we've often been accused, isn't true. One look at the $90/Barrel of oil will dispel this notion. Nevertheless, who said that the accusations are true? It's the enormity of accusation NOT the facts that count.

If we "stole" the Iraqi oil, a gallon of gas today would have been way down, right? .
