What I find most depressing about a lot of these posts is not that people are pro-war.

It's like they have to justify it by lying.
I'm trying to decide whether these people are truly as stupid as they sound, or merely following the propaganda because they think it will somehow help their troops/country. At least the latter has some merit, however misguided.
This is about oil and the US government isn't even trying to hide it that much, hence the money/troops/businesses already setting up to run the oil fields.Whereas US help for hospitals, humanitarian aid etc. is fucking conspicuous by it's absence.
Apparently the oil fields need to be solely run by the US, whereas humanitarian aid, hospitals, schools, needs to be run by the UN... oh yeah. Duh!
Everything Blix said just confirms all this.
Forget the words, look at the actions!

who gives a flying fuck???
if the war is about oil, then good, least we'll jump on oppurtunity when we see it, and in the process make iraq a better place to live rather than it being ran by a man who enjoys murdering / raping / torturing his own people.
