The Drone

You may have heard about the drone that Iraq has in order to spray WMDs onto enemy soldiers. The media in the USA has reported that Blix buried it in the report and that those damn Iraqi's should have reported it. What the media doesn't say is that the world has known about the program for 13 years. That the Iraqi's did declare it and the reason it wasn't on page 1 of the report to the UN is that the damn thing doesn't work. It's made of balsa wood and duct tape! It is not able to spray non-existent anthrax and never will be.

On oil

Big oil companies don't really care about oil, but they sure love money. The war isn't really about oil as much as it is about regime change. The oil companies are just going to take advantage of the outcome of the war. If there were no war and the sanctions on Iraq were dropped, the very next day, every oil company in the world would be in Baghdad buying oil. They would spend millions on oil, and make billions selling it back home. If there is a war, the oil companies will be in Baghdad on the day after the war spending billions for the oil, and make millions selling it back home. It doesn't make sense. Any rational oilman would rather spend millions and make billions than spend billions to make millions.
