Yes, and Dick Cheny was on a documentary last night in a recorded interview wherein he stated that the security of oil supplies from the Middle East was, during the Gulf War, of paramount concern, and he (Cheney) was not going to apologize for that.
When you look at the potential dollars involved (the contracts for oil services co's would be in the billions) and you look at the connections both the Pres and VP have to the oil business, then you have to believe that almost anything is possible.
There are lots of motivations for this country to get involved in a removal of the Taliban govt by whatever means necessary. I really hope that this govt was not complicit in an attack on US citizens, but it wouldn't be the first time. And you wouldn't be the first to say it is preposterous. I don't know about you, but I don't believe anything the govt or the media tells me anymore.
And you know why? Because AMERICA NEEDS OIL TO SURVIVE. Not just for our evil gas-guzzling SUVs, either. There's a decent chance that the very electricity you're using to power your PC as you read this came from oil.
This would be an indisputable fact whether Bush and Cheney personally owned 100% of the stock in every oil company in America, or if they were such enviropsychos that they made Ed Begley Jr look like an Enron executive.
This whole "war for oil" BS will eventually evaporate anyway, just as every other liberal lie has since 9/11, as the war moves into such oil-rich nations as Somalia and the Phillipines.
