A polital thread from you! This should get good!

I'll answer.

This war's by-product is oil. Not the purpose. It just so happens that lots of folks connected to the current admin. get rich on two fronts. Defense and oil.

Our primary reason for going to war is to protect our friend, Israel. We want the region to be stable so they are safe.

Listen to you, Gotta! No, no! This war is to protect human rights and further the cause of freedom. You should be ashamed of yourself for criticizing such self-sacrificing, patriots and Dick Cheney and Dubya.

No, we could care less about oil and military hardware. We just want everybody to be as happy as we are.

Mistress really has NO political opinions of any sort. No, that purdy little lady only cares about frilly new dresses, house-keeping, the latest hair styles, and things of that sort.

If we could abandon Danfur and other places, do you think we would care if Israel is safe if we get what we want? Try putting the horse before the cart.

Yes, they are our friend. The question that will be asked is "What have you done for me LATELY." If we don't need them, I doubt we will care what happens to them. But, at this time, we need them and they need us. Hence the marriage. When we don't need them or they don't need us, we will head to mexico to get a quickie divorce.

Sand. We can't continue on our national building/concrete manufacturing spree without sand. And only Middle-Eastern sand would do. Oh well, at least Saddam didn't die in vain.

50 years from now it might just be access to potable water.
