They would be doing so anyhow, no matter if twice as many showed up in DC to protest Bush's plans. The American oil companies have been wanting to get into Iraq to divvy up the oilfields (which they are prohibited from doing now) since the mid-90s. France, the Netherlands, Russia, and China and India (exploring) are already in. Chevron (Condoleeza Rice), Mobile, etc. are far behind the 8 ball.
The Dems will give them the ticket.
