Seriously? Oil, right now the most valuable thing on the planet, and we're getting it at 99 cent store prices and you're asking what the benefit would be? Oil companies will make trillions.

He'll either retire or go back to the oil industry. Either way, he's going to have money.

This is a Neocon thing. It's a PNAC thing. It's an oil industry thing.
My ambitions are in stark contrast to the Bush administration as to the next 50-100 years. I can explain mine, but it's not relevant to this thread or the discussion.
