What 'maus said.

Bush is doing what he thinks is right -- and more than three out of four Americans agree with him. No "wag the dog" here... We're the "good guys" in this fight (and in this world), and no one has _any_ evidence to the contrary. Our (US, UK, Australians, Poles, Spaniards, and a few others') troops are laying it on the line for the freedom of others; that's unique, historic, and heroic, boys and girls!

If it were about oil, we wouldn't be rolling the dice on a new democratic government in Iraq -- we've been getting cheap oil in the ME for years, and it would have been even cheaper if we'd just lifted the sanctions on Iraq and let Saddam have his way for another 30+ years!

OIL INFO (for your liberal idiot aquaintences)

The US consumes 19 million barrels of oil a day.

Of that, 58%, or 11 million, are imported.

Of the 11 million:

Canada - 9.9%
Mexico - 7.9%
Saudi Arabia - 7.8%
Iraq - 2.2%

As to ANWR: the left wing liberal lie to attack that plan is "it's only a 6 months supply". That would be 3.42 Billion barrels.

Or 7.7 years supply from Saudi and Mexico. 38.7 years of Iraqi supply.

I'll take it.

Well thanks - but somewhere deep inside I know it is just pi$$ing into the wind. LOL

Today the conspiracy theory from the liberal left at the office was the US had to fight this war now cuz the Chinese were negotiating with Iraqi's to buy their oil. Sheesh. When I asked them to tell me where they got this goldmine of information??? oh - some intelligent sounding guy from a call-in radio show.

At times life is verrryy scarrryy!
