Gosh, Eisenschwarz, again with the oil. Every time that is brought up we all go trot out some info to shoot you down and explain the silliness of it. But, you insist and persist.
I don't think I'll bother this time. Suffice to say I believed this until I educated myself on it. Suffice to say I hate big SUVs and oil industry proliferation, but that does not make it true that the US is going to Iraq over oil.
Given Bush's proclivities as an oil industry supporter and wonk (imagine, something Bush is a wonk on), here's what he'd do:
1. Fabricate a reason why America can't get (enough) oil elsewhere;
2. Tap national resources of oil as an emergency act;
3. Set price limits on imported oil and tax exported oil, which would fit the national security exception to the WTO/GATT and would allow the US to act as a price-fixer nationally and internationally.
Your argument simply does not hold water. Yet you persist. And persist. At this point its a soundbyte that sounds vaguely like Charlie Brown's teacher to me.
