Hello Greg, KG> 1) It's all about the oil. - If you add up the cost of the Iraqi War it KG> would've been far cheaper to just pay more for any possible OPEC price KG> gouging that might have taken place in the future. It's not like we're KG> getting oil for free after defeating Saddam are we? And the price of crude KG> oil on the American market has other factors involved that are often KG> overlooked. Why do you think that cheap oil prices are important for Bush ? He is a member of an oil familiy. So he get huge benefits if the oil prices are high and stay high as long as possible. KG> 2) Bush lied about things to lead America to war. - He didn't gather the KG> intelligence himself. The intelligence was a result of a combination of CIA, KG> British, and UN data gathering. What was presented to him was the same Oh yes good old George is innocent and only fouled by some CIA stupids. If this is the common wisdom of a FOX newschannel viewer then i understand why he won. This scares me and any other person in europe. KG> information that was presented to Congress. The majority of Congress was in KG> favor of what action was initiated based on the intelligence that was KG> presented. Looking back at it the intelligence wasn't 100% correct. Or even KG> 50% correct for God's sake. Try it again with 0%. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
