Some interesting facts, I wasn't aware of John.

1. Agreed on the definition, but maybe the US is trying to kill two birds with one stone.
2. Lifting sanctions on Iraqi oil isn't going to make the US look very good if they're the ones lobbying for it. Sanctions are in place for a reason, and although some may argue they are inneffective, removing those sanctions would undermine the entire US position against Iraq.

The current escalade of tensions with Iraq has increased the price of oil to the end user (gasoline.) This is great for oil producing states like Texas. Where did you say Bush was from?
