Aparently, he was allowing several large American and British oil companies to purchase oil at a much lower price than everyone else. It is also found out that he has been accepting large bribes since before he was elected. Crazy? That's up to you. Plausable? Maybe. Possible? Yes.
I'll give you another. Let's say that a new leader is elected in Iraq. The problem? He's christian and exit poles had him dead last. It turns out that the ballot boxes were stuffed by several FBI agents that have been living in Iraq for several years. Crazy? That's up to you. Plausable? Maybe. Possible? Yes.
despite the fact that these are highly unlikely, they are possible. Would you really be surprised if either of those happened? Honestly?

Here's another for ya, Will.
What if elections go as planned and the winner is a "supposed friend of ours" but once in power decides it is safer for him to align with Syria, Iran, China and so forth and demands we leave or he will truly open the floodgates to a true WAR? Or what if he treats his people worse then Saddam?
What do we do then? Do we claim then that we need to liberate Iraq from him? After a supposed free election, that we watched?
Crazy, paranoid? perhaps, that's in the eye of the beholder.
Plausible? Yes.
Possible? History has shown that it happens time and time again.
