While Iran makes a deal with China for Iranian oil which will go through a pipeline that China will help them build across Iraq to ports in Lebanon. This will ensure the economic ascendency of China and India, while multi-national corporations ship our jobs abroad. And is also one of the reasons that we don't seriously care that Israel is destroying Lebanon again.
The rest of this picture includes how the occupation of Iraq is a government bail-out of failed American oil-business men. At the beginning of the Occupation of Iraq, domestic oil cost more to get out of the ground than they could make off of it at about $11. a barrel. They're doing quite fine now, thank you, even though they made bad business decisions that made their cost of doing business rise so high that they could not meet their over-head. How much of that do you suppose had anything to do with Bonuses?

My recent LTE re Cheney and Terrorists in Iraq:
Even by today’s standards, it is unusual for a vice president to call a special news conference and comment on primary election results. Is it possible that Vice President Cheney, with fore-knowledge of events that were about to transpire in England this week, was setting the stage for the U.S. public learning that occupation of Iraq does not stop Terrorism? Is Cheney a politician? Do politicians use media to influence the Public?
Vice President Cheney’s remarks about Ned Lamont’s primary victory encouraging “the al-Qaida types“ may also have been a reaction to a bipartisan survey of 100 top American foreign policy researchers published by The Center for American Progress in June 2006. Eighty-seven of those 100 report that occupation of Iraq damages our efforts to defeat Terrorism.
Perhaps Cheney would prefer that we believe all Terrorists are in Iraq and all are scared of, not motivated by, death and dying.
