After all the excuses are exhausted - the war is still ALL ABOUT OIL.

The idiots are going to push a troop "surge" after the new year. Can anyone stop these bozos? Probably not - why? - because the power center for the Bush Admin actually has two pivot points - Haliburton headquarters and Riyadh. After THE IDIOTS made a mess of the buffer between the Shia hordes in Iran and our current oil supply - which is oddly placed below the sand in Saudi Arabia - we are handing Iraq over to the Shiite majority in name only. The Saudi Royal family must be protected, after all.

Also - expect the "surge" to help precipitate a "Persian Gulf of Tonkin" resolution. The house of Saud wants the Iran problem taken care of. And their lapdogs in D.C. will find a way to do it.
