Don't get me wrong, most of the profits from sales of Iraqi oil will go to Iraq itself. To take more than half would cause international concern. But we will take 10 or 15% of total sales, not shared with Russia or France. In fact, it is something of a win-win relationship; Iraqi capitalists will get oil profit they would not otherwise receive under Saddam, the nation profits from the taxes paid into the government coffers from those receipts, and US oil interests get a big share of the pie (previously unavailable) while the US gets the chance for a reliable supply of cheaper oil. I nver said these were bad things.
All I said is you are naive to believe that Bush boldly oppose the United Nations on some altruistic crusade to free the Iraqis and fight terrorism. This is about money, pure and simple. All wars are. Follow the money.
PS -- if you demand any examples that all wars are economic, forget getting a reply from me. IMHO this is proven fact. ALL WARS ARE ECONOMIC. The Revolutionary war. The US Civil War. All wars. Even WWII. Hitler got into power and got free reign from his Germany because they had been economically devestated.)
Even though all wars are economic driven it doesn't automatically mean profits are obscene.
" Obscene profits" is your term. If you cannot define just say so.
