i'm not clear on your explanation for why we haven't found these WMDs.

[davipu]

because as long as the general pop is defering thier attention from the real reason (oil control)  gas prices are going to rise, and the big biz will contiue to make money. and it's all about the money.

[indestructibleman]

so, the failure to find WMDs is an intentional distraction to keep people from worrying about gas prices?

[davipu]

yep.  once oil is realized as the reason behind this it will shock the american economy out of it's delusional state of credit for all, and cause china to become the only lender nation left.  but then again americans as a whole are pretty dumb greedy bastards. so this could take 10 years or so.

I think he was just buying himself time.  But I don't defend the decision to go to war at all.  I was against the envasion without full support of the UN (cough french).  But I appreciate Tony Blair's stance too.  

Since we did, and we find ourselves in this position now, I think saddam is truely evil, and that Bush jr has done something that his father wouldn't but should have done a long time ago.  No one should have to live in fear of their countries leadership, but I also think that there is only so much you can do.  At some point (hopefully sooner than later) the iraqi people can stand on their feet.  Then I say we wash our hands of them.

how would finding WMDs show people that it's all about the oil?

i may be completely misunderstanding you here, but i think you were saying there are WMDs but we're intentionally not finding them.

I don't think your missunderstanding just not looking at the full picture.  we knew whare they were the whole time, we still know whare they are, and have them under lock and key.  
but the problem now is that if we go over there and take them back and make a big media show of it then everyone is going to go, why do they say made in usa on them?
seeing as there are several of the conspritors of the iran contra affair in top offices right now under the bush admin. I really don't see that happining.  i do see them fixing the problems that they started over 20 years ago in the arming of the area.  
once you remove the threat of NBC/ WMD then it comes down to why should we give a f%$k about a bunch of camel jockeys (for lack of a better word) that just want to kill each other?

oil.

ok.  that's the part i was missing.
