DougR: I commend the soldiers for not being trigger happy. They may have won their supreme commander the next election.

I think its a wierd political war because a great deal of moral, decent American soldiers are capturing an oil producing dictatorship at the command of a Presidential oil baron and his Vice President, an oil baron. Dubya succeeds where his father, an Enron executive, failed. Now this oil rich state has gasoline shortages -- even its production to the United states is down from 70,000 barrels a day to 50,000 barrels (according to some estimates).

Soldiers & civilians die, America gives the UN and its own reputation a black eye, but by God & Country somebody is making a lot of money.
