It's the oil...!

I think you are missing the point here ... It is very subtle but you have to read between the line. Apparently, Iraq has the second largest reserves of Oil and the security of our "American Way of Life" (AWL) depends heavily on us getting hold of that oil. Why do you think Bush wants to stay the course? Oil!

I think if we are able to stabalize the Iraq and control the Oil, the future of AWL will be secured for next 4-5 decades. If this does happen, then Bush will be judged in a completely different tune in time to come.
