Naw, a big block V-8 with dual four barrels that squeals the tires when it
changs gears, or a big block V-8, high water roll your own homemade 4x4 that
screams when it moves.
Of course, a little over 100 years ago gasoline was an industrial waste
product that was thrown out by the millions of gallons by kerosine makers.
-*MORT*-
Reminds me of the rhetoric of the isolationists trying to call the dogs off
Hitler, and cast aspersions on the motives of the U.S.
A sample from a leading demagogue of the time, retired Gen. Smedley Butler:
Radio broadcast, October 1939:
Now--*you mothers*, particularly! The only way you can resist all
this beating of tom-toms is by asserting the love you bear your
boys. When you listen to some well-worded, some well-delivered
*war* speech, just remember it's nothing but *sound*. No amount
of sound can make up for the loss of your boy. After you've heard
one of those speeches and your blood's all hot and you want to
bite somebody like Hitler--go upstairs to where your boy's asleep...
Look at him. Put your hand on that spot on the back of his neck.
The place you loved to kiss when he was a baby. Just rub it a little.
You won't wake him up, he knows it's you. Just look at his strong,
fine young body because only the best boys are chosen for war. Look
at this splendid young creature who's part of yourself, then close
your eyes for a moment and I'll tell you what can happen.
Somewhere--five thousand miles from home. Night. Darkness. Cold.
A drizzling rain. The noise is terrific. All Hell has broken loose.
A star shell burst in the air. Its unearthly flare lights up the
muddy field. There's a lot of tangled rusty barbed wires out there
and a boy hanging over them--his stomach ripped out, and he's
feebly calling for help and water. His lips are white and drawn.
He's in agony.
There's your boy. The same boy who's lying in bed tonight. The
same boy who trusts you... are you going to run out on him? Are
you going to let someone beat a drum or blow a bugle and make him
chase after it? Thank God, this is a Democracy and by your voice
and your vote you can save your boy.
To the Independent Republican Women's group, 1940:
The American people are fools. If they want to have their children
shot in order to keep Franklin Roosevelt on a pedestal, they will
just have to do it.
To the 1937 VFW convention:
It's your crowd that's going to do the dying and bleeding, not the
Wall Street bunch of flag wavers.
At Wesleyan University, March 1939:
If there is another war I intend to make James Roosevelt [FDR's son]
go to the front line trenches...I am not afraid! Let them shoot me!
I am all through. Let's get shot here at home if we're going to be
shot.
In _Common Sense Neutrality_, 1939:
These are some of the SMELLY things in this pit of European back-alley
politics into which we will be sucked if we don't watch our step--if
we are fools enough to get all excited about this brawl that is going
on over there, as such brawls have, almost since the dawn of history.
After the sinking of a U.S. gunboat on the Yangtze river in 1937:
The United States should get out of China and stay out... Why
don't those oil companies fly their own flags on their personal
property--maybe a flag with a gas pump on it.

Interestingly, then as now it was the far left pushing the "it's all about

You are so right. I mean, if we'd all sold our 2 million ton SUV's and
ridden our bikes to work, the WTC would still be standing. Those
terrorist used those GIANT winged 100 billion ton SUV's just to try to
burn up more fuel and make us more dependent on them. If the WTC had
been something other than just 2 GREAT BIG GIANT 500 trillion mega super
ton SUV's, they'd never have been targets.
It's just about the oil. Man... you're a genius.
In the first place, we have NO NEED for Iraq Oil. No matter what
happens, it will always REMAIN the property of the Iraq People. Just

Actually this administration has discussed what they refer to as the
'reprivatization' of iraqi oil post-invasion. This would in fact put
the iraqi oil fields, the second largest proven reserve in the world,
in the hands of Big Oil. It would also cut out the French and the
Russians, who both have deals with the current regime and the
'deprivatized' iraqi oil industry. So go figure why Russia and France
are not exactly gung ho about iraq-attaq.
Secondly, we most certainly do have a need for iraqi oil. That is what
this is all about, in fact the chickenhawk cabal wrote up exactly what
they are doing and why they are doing it. They know, as do quite a few
of their ultra-nationalist peers in various countries, that we are at
or near the global oil production peak, and are entering the global
end game struggle over control of dwindling oil reserves. (Dwindling
relative to demand, which increases with population, so don't bother
about citing absolute values for proven reserves, it is those numbers
relative to demand that are important. The problem is 'china goes
online'.)
This is the reason for iraq-attaq: establish military control over the
arabian peninsula/mesopotamian oil fields, eliminate all military
threats in the region. It is of course insanity, a stupid short
sighted bully-tactic doomed to failure and likely to wreck what is
left of our republic. The sane course is to get ourselves off of oil
as fast as we possibly can.

Knee jerk rightwing libertarian nonsense. Government can help by
pushing R&D in directions it might not naturally go, due to the nature
of profit driven markets. Specifically, incentives for R&D into
non-fossil renewable replacements for our oil based economy should be
funded way beyond their current levels. We have known since the 70's
that we were going to get into this mess, now we are here, and we have
done pitifully little to get ready for it. The market will milk the
oil crisis for every cent it can extort, happily allowing government
and citizens to pay all sorts of external costs, including the lives
of the many soldiers who will die to defend Big Oil, while avoiding
the startup costs for, e.g. fuel cell automotive technology, until
there are no other choices.

Getting off oil is not an option in the foreseeable future. We could dig
up our own in Alaska, though. Still, it is easier to rob Iraq of theirs.

No need, or at least no emergency. Iraq has never refused to sell oil
to the United States. Neither has Saudi Arabia or any other Middle
Eastern Arab country. In fact, the region has always been a source of
steady supply at reasonable prices. The Saudis have often sold their
oil to the United States at below market prices to keep the price and
the market stable. If Iraq would be allowed to develop its enormous
resources, America could be assured of sufficient oil to maintain its
economy far into the future. The aim of the Bush cabal is not to
secure America's oil supply, it is to secure control and enormous
profits for a small consortium of international oil barons.
That naive statement about America never taking over a defeated nation
just shows how Americans are misled about their leaders. Of course,
"America" never takes over the assets of the defeated country, but a
small army of international entrepreneurs alway follow the army with
ready cash to gobble up the assets of the defeated and bankrupt enemy.
It happened in Germany after both world wars, in Bosnia, and in
Serbia. The ever-present George Soros now owns a good part of the rich
Trepca mines in Kosovo thanks to the heroic "liberating" armies of the
West. That's why the American war cry today always includes such
phrases as "free markets," and "private ownership," along with
freedom, liberty, democracy, and civil rights.

I do not think you have provided evidence to support your claim that the
desire to invade is due to maximize oil.
Other motives are logically possible - such as a desire to kill all their
leaders and convert them to Christianity, a desire to rule the world,
starting with a big standing army in the Middle East, a desire to
intimidate Syria and Iran, a desire to kill Saddam because unchecked he
will, someday, get nukes so that Israel can't get away with its arrogant
occupation of Palestine, a desire to ruin the US economy because the
Administration is run by communist moles, and so on.
It is hard to know which motive is the real one. The only thing we can
safely conclude is that the alleged motive - that Iraq poses a current,
grave threat to the safety of the USA, is implausible and therefore not the
real motive.

My vote is that Shrub wants revenge for the attempt Hussein made
on his father's life, back in 1993. Which is perfectly understandable --
but also leaves him eminently unqualified to make rational decisions
about what to do with Iraq. If someone tries to kill the family
member of a cop, you don't put that cop in charge of the case.

Iraq now produces quite a bit of oil. The extra production were they
"liberated" would be pretty minor. The cost of invasion, hundreds of
billions of dollars, clearly is not economically worth the small extra
production.
So this argument strikes me as implausible.

Well, I guess that could be - the "global end game" theory. But I am not
sure the White House buys into this theory. They seem to be of the school
which believes that a free market can provide unlimited amounts of
everything. On the other hand, they DO seem desperate to find new sources
of production, so maybe you're right.
OF course, at a certain somewhat higher price, supplies of oil not now
worth developing will come on line. Such as massive amounts of oil in oil
shale in the Rocky Mountains. In a global end game, with prices maybe
double those of today, those sources become competitive. So is "global end
game" really worth the cost?
I personally prefer good old world domination as a motive. It fits
President Bush's obsession with the Austin Powers movies, his primary
cultural reference point. It fits the SMERSH-like military doctrine
recently released. It fits the Napoleanic over-compensation apparent in the
very short Secretary Rumsfeld.
So of the various alternative explanations for the otherwise absurd desire
to invade Iraq, I think I'll go with good old all-American world
domination.
Starting with a big standing army in the Middle East.

Could be. But now you have the burden of explaining why the Administration
plans to invade Iraq.
(I assume we can agree that the notion that we face risk from small, pinned
down Iraq is just this year's version of the stolen baby incubators)
My guess is - World Hegemony, not lust for oil.
What's your explanation for the "real" motive?

Halliburton made millions rebuilding Iraq after that last invasion, but our
costs were billions.
So I think you're right, but I don't think that plunder, at least not
alone, can explain our invasions.
I am more idealistic - I think we invade for good reasons - such as a
determination to rule the world.
Two hundred billion, thousands of deaths, because they break UN rules?
No. We break UN rules ourselves, and strongly support others who do as
well.
Many are the UN rule breakers, few are those we feel like punishing.
In addition, it is not the role of the USA to enforce UN rule violations -
it is the role of the UN to decide to do that. Yet we have said we will
VIOLATE THE UN CHARTER to invade Iraq, whether the UN likes it or not.
The US does not spend huge sums just to enforce international rules.
So that can't be the "real" motive.
Even if you are correct that it "should" be reason enough - it obviously is
NOT the reason.
Al Qeda

AL Qaeda was widely seen as dangerous. Budgeting for counter-terrorism went
up many fold in the nineties, and would have gone up more except that the
Republican-controlled House blocked even more spending. So your statement
is just factually incorrect.
But let's assume you are correct. We don't think Iraq will attack us - we
actually believe that the CIA national intelligence estimate on that is
correct - well, your logic justifies invading Japan. They seem harmless -
just as Al Qaeda did. But we can't afford to wait for the mushroom cloud
over Seattle. We must invade them now.
>

No, the US does many things quite well. The first Persian Gulf war made a
lot of sense, for instance.
I am not arguing in this thread about whether it is right or wrong to
invade Iraq. I am discussing WHY we want to invade.
The stated reason - your logic - that even though the CIA national
intelligence estimate is that Iraq has a very low probability of attacking
us - even though our military leaders agree that Iraq can be deterred
and contained - see, for instance, General Zitti, the former top US
military commander for the region - that we must invade - is too stupid to
be the "real" motive.
I am willing to believe that President Bush - like you - is not very smart.
But the rest of the Administration can actually speak, read, think and
reason.
So they aren't buying your - We must bomb Japan because the last thing we
want is to see that mushroom cloud over Seattle - logic.
What's the real logic?

I know that he has the Title of boss - but in big organizations, respect

I guess that's why Saudia Arabia and Kuwait are on board if the UN backs our
play?

For someone who chose the screen name "Mr. Memory", you appear brain dead.

If that is true, we are in big trouble, because while we are fighting a war
of horror with the towel-heads, China will be busy replacing us as the
world's foremost superpower. China could even be the one that masterminded
and funded 9/11 as part of this effort.

Time to see again. It is NOT 1911, it is 2002. China is one fourth of
the world's population. Clinton gave China nuclear missile technology.
They haven't got missiles like we do, but they have enough to kill
millions of Americans and that might give us pause if we thought of
going to war with them. They hate the white world for forcing opium on
them at gunpoint and other arrogant indignities. Their business has been
booming for years (look at our store shelves for "made in china" vs
"made in America"). They are controlled not by politicians, but by
determined professionals. After a war with the Mideast, the USA would
have lost several cities and be emotionally exhausted. China emerges as
the peacemaker. The world decides they would be better off with new
management, after we have exposed ourselves as stupid barbarians.
Welcome to the 21st Century.
