??? I did not think that was being disputed. The initial post I responded to, the PNAC quotes, didn't offer, to my eyes, any clarity as to how this is a war about oil. Bremer apparently had plans for that initially, but has since had to retreat. It fits with their general prescriptions for privatization, but doesn't answer Doug's questions. My response is specifically focused on how you swing a war for oil. Okay, they want to privatize it. And? Then what? Most of the responses Doug has been getting here are very question begging. Doug asks how oil plays in all this. Folks point out that Iraq's oil is simply too important not to be a factor. Plausible enough, but the question is left unanswered.
