He has the second largest oil reserves in the world under his thumb now. It can easily be the first largest by updating 25 year old equipment. He has nothing to gain by going in to Iran.

1. He owns congress and the supreme court. George gets what George wants.
2. I've never bought the line that this is about oil. I suspect this has more to do with trying to fulfill biblical prophecy then it does with oil. If it were about oil, we've had 1.5 years to get it, but we haven't. Dubya is a fundamentalist christian. He believes the bible is the literal and inerrant word of god. Read the book of Revelations, you will get your explaination for why we are so busy in the middle east and doing our best to support Israel, but descretely.
All in all, I've been watching this build up, but I hope we're wrong about this. The one thing we have on our side is that we had a recent and sorted history with Iraq, and we've not had much of anything to do with Iran recently. Hopefully, that will make all the difference and maybe this will all just be a bunch of "puffing up the chest".
