According to the New York Times, last year White House lawyers

Killing & torturing them without any threat to his national
security......Just because he liked to kill & torture people.

He "liked" to kill and torture people to keep the remainder
docile. Now
they are discovering what non-docile behavior can do. Ol' Bush
accomplished something, anyway.


Yes.....Bush freed the Iraqi people. If only for a little while. I
hope they
remain free, but if they don't, at least Bush gave them the chance.
But you
are definitely right. A tyrant has to kill large numbers of people
to keep
the rest docile. And, as long as one has to kill people, one might
as well
have lots of fun doing it, so that explains Saddam's torture
chambers and
rape rooms. And if Jay Leno doesn't see that Bush doesn't maintain
torture
chambers and rape rooms, well, that's his stupidity, not mine, but
I'm sure
he got a good laugh with his little joke.



How come now that the iraqi oil has been liberated, that
we are still paying record high price at the pump for gas?
Damn that Iraq, I don't know how the US oil got under their
sand in the first place....

Well, if you want to change the subject.....Sure, ---I'll bite. I was in
Europe about 15 years ago, and I had to pay $3.50 a gallon for gasoline.
Today, $2.20 a gallon here in the US is really pretty cheap. Why the price
is exactly what it is I can't say for sure, but the ME cartel fixes the
price to maximize the amount of money they make, and the president tries to
not use up our oil reserves so that when the world runs out of oil, we will
be the last ones to run out. I have it on pretty good authority that we
won't run out for another 50 years or more, so I think it's a moot point,
because by that time there will be enough alternative energy sources that it
won't really matter. (In my opinion)
As far as the "US oil getting under their sand", if it weren't for the
West, they would still be riding their camels over that sand and wouldn't
have a clue that there was anything down there that was more valuable than
well water. We found it, drilled for it, pumped it up, built the refineries
and cracked it into gasoline, sold them the Caddies, and built their roads
and taught them how to drive around with it. All they ever learned to do was
quote the Koran and hate Americans. Belong to us? - No, not quite. But
pretty damn near.........

That is much more related to unrest in middle east (of which
there is much more) than Iraqi oil.

So Bush's buddies can make out like gangbusters of course. Cheap oil doesn't
reallly work well for oil companies. They like to buy it low and then sell
it high.

But almost all the unrest in the ME is caused by American industrial
imperialism and support for Israeli occupation of Palestinian (claimed)
territory.

Not only are you very stupidly xenophopbic, you also don't appear to have
a clue that Wahhabism != Islam nor how Wahhabism came to have its present
dominance.
