Quote:Yeah, it will be just like Desert Storm, when we invaded Iraq and seized all of the oil fields
Yeah, this is EXACTLY like Desert storm, all the goals are EXACTLY the same. The conflict is IDENTICAL! Notice how Iraq just laid waste to vast stretches of Kuwait? Yeah? Right? Amazing! All this discussion of taking out Hussein and so on, which was precisely not the goal last time around, is just a smokescreen for destroying an invader's army, one that apparently no one in all of Western media has seen.
Hello? Reality calling. These two conflicts have nothing to do with each other. If you're going to beat people in the head an argument, you can at least light the straw on fire before you start swinging.
American companies are very likely to gain access to those oil fields. The change in government will be American sponsored and you can bet they'll deal with the Americans in a much better way than the current Iraqi government will, since the Americans involved will be seen as liberators instead of their current not so beloved status.

I can prove George W Bush is a war-criminal. But I can't reveal my sources, as that would get them killed. Wait, I can't show the documents either. Yeah, same thing. Ok. Believe me, please? UN, please believe me, please please please?
