    Wolfowitz has a big mouth

    And whenever he opens it, a stampeding herd of elephants rolls out.

    Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."


    That's a big egg on the face of the "it's not about oil" crowd.

      I always knew oil had something to do with it.. Aznar just supported Bush, so a company like Repsol can get an oil contract.. I mean why not? But I still believe the people of Iraq were the top priority.
      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

              I think he wanted to say something a bit different, but it's just too funny. Good ol' Freud...

                Killing people for oil?

                I thought this was all about liberating the oppressed Iraqi people from a tolitarian regime.

                  It always has been.

                    It was all about liberating the poor oppressed oil from a totalitarian regime.

                      So where does the oil fit in?

                            Isn't Wolfowitz a policy advisor?


                            If what Imran says is true, then he's making lots of money at the government's expense.
