Oh, not this "War for Oil" pulp again....

Maybe one of these "war for oil" proponents could explain why, if we went into Iraq to take their oil, we're not taking their oil? Or why we bothered, for that matter, since we had significantly more troops in oil-rich Kuwait than their entire standing army already? Or why we didn't just do like France did and look the other way while Sodom tortured his people in exchange for a couple sweet oil contracts? (Hey, there's some "Blood for oil", there....)

Our troops deserve our thanks. You have, at the cost of months or years of your life and at great risk to life and limb, done a great service--not only to millions of now-liberated Iraqis, but to your own country; many of whom refuse to appreciate the sacrifices you have made for them.
