Axis of evil, my ass

One thing that has bothered me about this upcoming regime change, is that there apaprently has been no plan offered for what happens when Hussein is no longer in charge (read: dead). On the one hand, this is irresponsible. On the other, it would be wrong to set somebody else up. I guess that's why they're glossing this one over - it's wrong either way.

But now I hear that the administration is supporting a dissident alliance to succeed Hussein. Hmm, why haven't I heard anything about this before? This alliance has announced it will cancel all oil agreements with nations that don't support the war. If this plan goes through, the United States of America will control all of Iraq's oil.

And why did Halliburton (CEO: Cheney) give so much money to Iraq to rebuild its oil production capability after the gulf war?

I've given up trying to understand politicians.

They said WHAT?!!?

Sooooo, basically it's an Empire-grab, just like people thought it was really. Dissident alliance my sparkly butt--they're gonna stick a general in there, just like postwar Japan, and he's not gonna leave....

I can't believe these sonsabitches are trying to resurrect imperialistic expansion. Are they nuts?!?!?!

The Bush admin now has plans to occupy the country. We'd run it.

Seriously? Have they announced this in those terms? I guess maybe I'm less aware of what's going on than I thought.

It was also reported in U.S. papers, but I don't have any links for them.

"The occupation regime would... also administer the country's huge oil deposits."

No shit. Really?!


Thanks, Scott.
