I don't know if anyone has told you this, but the President and Vice President are in the oil and war businesses.
I think it's clear that they want a failed state in Iraq.
Why would they stand by and allow us to illegally invade a sovereign nation without provocation? It's not about 'allow'. They clearly have no power over us.
Well...permanent military bases, a GIGANTIC embassy, what looks like no clear troop withdrawal (in fact, we're sending MORE troops)...it's a pretty clear picture.

I simply can't believe the majority of your assertions here. I can't believe that the Americans are going to get such favorable rates on oil as these things are strictly monitored. Even if they weren't monitored, what long-term advantage would America have in vastly lower oil prices? I understand that Bush has had an aggressive policy in Iraq, but what about when he leaves office? Will the new folks be like Bush too? Is this a Bush thing or an America thing? And why would America want a failed state in Iraq? None of it makes any sense to me...perhaps you can explain your opinion of what the long term (50-100 years) ambitions of America are?
