Though we cannot know for sure what the primary objective of a first strike on Iraq is for, Iraq's oil resources and production capabilities certainly play a role in the White House's foreign policy and objectives . If you are interested in some background on the issues see: http://www.rice.edu/projects/baker/Pubs/workingpapers/cfrbipp_energy/energytf.htm A paper commissioned by the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy of Rice University and the Council on Foreign Relations (of who Cheney and many of Bush's key foreign policy advisors are currently or were at one time members). Also here is a link to an interesting article from the Economist on the Council on Foreign Relations web site: http://www.cfr.org/reg_issues.php?id=2|||1 Jenny Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com
