But Bush IS doing something...that's what this war is all about. It's not about liberating Iraq...

Thank you. The idiots who shout "no blood for oil" are wrong-wrong-wrong. The slogan should be - for those with brains - "Oil for jobs". Our country's economy depends on inexpensive energy because we are huge and spread out. The amount of real estate we need to cover to meet our economic needs cannot be met unless we have a way of reducing the overhead burden of our energy costs. If you want an example, one airliner reduced its load of cola carred for service by one can and saved thousands of dollars over the cost of a year (it was that much weight saved in fuel that did it). If you have cheap energy you can hire more people because transportation and shipping costs are reduced.
