IMHO the war on Iraq was for two reasons: first and foremost was to assist in the perpetuation of dubya and his friends. Secondary was to break the OPEC by freeing up the oil.
The liberation, etc. was all secondary. It remains to be seen if it will work as planned. This is the way the world sees it, perhaps not the way the Bush supporters see it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 9:24 AM Subject: RE: US threatens Caribbean Countries | Ahhh.. | | So therefore you are admitting that the United States only offers | assistance to countries in order to force them to the will of the US at | a later date. | | Cool. | I hope you remember that point in future discussions. | | And the war on Iraq was for what?
