I have to agree with you John - I can't believe there are so many on this forum that are so excited to go to war. There certainly are many other countries that are more of a threat than Irag to the United States. I am surprised that people can't see through this and realize it is about oil!Sad day indeed.

There certainly are many other countries that are more of a threat than Iraq to the United States

Really?

Please provide a list of other countries that:

1. Have enough chemical & bio weapons capacity to kill all of mankind right now.

2. Have a nuclear program within 1 to 3 years of producing an A Bomb.

3. Have unmistakable intentions of destroying the US & Israel.

It is about oil?... It is good you and I are not eye to eye right now; your sycophancy to democrat demagoguery is nauseating. This action pending against Iraq --but by no means executed-- is to protect your sorry snivelling ass. You ought thank GOD that your nation has men and women ready and willing to unleash the dogs of war to protect your smarmy hide. You are disgusting.

"I am surprised that people can't see through this and realize it is about oil!"

And people like you were saying that the first Gulf War was about oil as well. Yeah, we sure are swimming in oil as a result of that war, aren't we.

And, even if some of it was about oil, so what? Every cloud has a silver lining.

Whether you like it or not, we are already at war with the Iraqi administration and their terrorist henchmen. The only question truly to be answered is how much damage will they be able to inflict upon this country. The sooner my fellow comrades and I are able to press this conflict, the less time they will be able to develop ever more effective weaponry. The lessons of WWII are so clearly applicable: from jets to rockets to tanks to atomic weapons, much more delay in our pressing the war against Hitler would have proved fatal to many more people, not to mention the great number of fatalities which might have been prevented had we acted to counter him sooner. By the way, exactly what are your intelligence reports stating as to how much longer it will be before Iraq missiles can hit Israel and Europe?

It's not about oil. It's about a group of armchair warriors (Wolfowitz, Pearle, Kristol, Keegan et al) who actively promote empire and military adventurism abroad.
