The Left, Bush, and Middle East oil.

The left has been way, way off in its judgment of Bush's reasons for going to war in Iraq. The left has been saying that Bush did it to "get" more oil, preferably by stealing it from the Iraqis. But it looks as if Bush went to Iraq to "limit" the supply of oil. In a way, oil is like diamonds, made more valuable the rarer they get. It really is not that rare so, like DeBeers, you have to limit the supply and pretend that it's rare. After he took us to Iraq and paid the insurgents to blow up the pipelines. I think Bush must have got the leaders of Iran and Venezuela elected, because he knew that they were not friendly towards the US and that we would not get as much oil from them. Then, he no doubt, fomented rebellion in Nigeria, where the delicious sounding, light, sweet crude comes from. All this did was make us more dependent on Bush's buddies, the Saudis. As oil became less available, the prices went up and up. Oh, I forgot the hurricane. Bush loves his oil buddies sooo much he did all this for them. So you see, the left was completely wrong in their assertions that Bush went to Iraq for the oil.
