And Iraq has? Once perhaps and got it's ass kicked 13 years ago, but when was it doing so recently? Ooh I forgot the terrorists who'll use countries the US, UK and USSR f****d with as a based of ops (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, ...) - we messed them up in the first place, now we're going back to do it again, to create more widows and orphans who will blame us for the dead. We are told they're using it but by governments with vested interests and little proof >> Perhaps he's not planning to invade N.Korea because it's not a >> soft enough target > > > Maybe he's afraid of accidentally hitting all the food > shipments we're sending them. Or accidently bringing S Korea in and making a bloody mess of two countries instead of one (which wouldn't look good on his nice clean resume). >> or because it doesn't have any oil reserves worth taking? > > > Apparently, you failed to notice that when we kicked Iraq > out of Kuwait, we did not stay behind to take their oil > reserves. America didn't need Oil back then, it had plenty. Oil reserves and sources are drying up all over the place now and he needs to beef up supplies and sources now that the Arab nations are realising US and European dependance on it. Also Kuwait was the victim and if the US had taken there oil, they'd be as bad as him so they wouldn't have done it. Now they need Oil and want to make some cash so they start a war. > Of course, being blind to reality is the traditional problem > of the radical left. And of yourself. You ignore you're countries dependance on oil and the fact that almost every high level official connected to the WH has an interest in oil (look at the people he put in place). You blindly trust your government and question not their motives. You ignore the fact that Iraq could bring other arab nations in to the fight and start a bloodbath if they're prevoked. Remember Saddam is a nutter and if he is pushed he might just do something nasty to Israel and f**k the consequences (remember nutters' aren't rationale beings). Especially if he's not gonna be around to see the aftermath (a final finger up to America perhaps).
