The real reason for invading Iraq was that Saddam was flooding the market with cheap oil. China, Russia, Germany, France & Korea were his customers, also the sams group who would not send troups to support the invasion. In the months before the war gasoline in Massachusetts was selling for .89 cents a gal. BIG OIL was being bailed out by congress. They needed an excuse to put Saddam out of bussiness and WMD was their lie of choice. Remember Desert Storm? Saddam took over his neighbors oil fields because they had hired Texas Oil to use side drilling techniques to tap into Iraq''s oil. H.W. Bush did''nt go all the way to Bagdad because Saddam conceeded, and they knew They''d have BIG problems if he was''nt left in to control the three main factions living in Iraq.

I don''t know why people are under the assumption that the chimp has been looking for OBL. He hasn''t. The chimp would lose his favorite scape goat if OBL was captured, or killed. The chimp would have to contrive a whole other pack of lies, and a new bad man, to replace OBL.

This president has been lying to the American people for years, and we still bow to the chimp. Forget impeaching the two slime ball in the white house, Americans don''t care enough to standup and fight these terrorists in our white house.

Americans must love the chimp and cheney, after all they are still in office.

Why are we spending a trillion dollars chasing our tail in Iraq when Bin Laden roams free, building Al Qaeda and making plans for his next big attack? What the hell are we doing in Iraq?

Who cares where OBL is or if he is really alive? It is dumb to spend so much effort to capture/kill one such individual when, in reality, another evil person will just take his place. Both sides use the personna OBL to further their cause, and time will prove this theory. These tapes conveniently appear at times for both sides to spout propaganda.

If OBL really wants the Americans out of Iraq, don''t you think he can figure out that REPUBS love war and the American public is now tired of this war? This tape is being touted by our side to gain more time for the ''surge'', and convince the public to support it.

It is not the war that should be our top issue, but rather the issues here at home.......Mexican truckers gaining free access to our highways, the resurge of the amnesty under the STRIVE act now before Congress, the collapse of mortgage credit, the loss of many, many jobs, and much more. None of our candidates are talking about these issues.

If Osama pulls of any attack in the U.S. Bush and Homeland Security totaly failed.

How can we not know where this man is after all these years? All the money we spent to find him, all the secert and not so secret agencies we have looking for him and nothing!

Bush is already a failure. How much longer will the Dems allow him to lead? Impeach Bush before it gets worse.

It''''s really shameful that George Bush had us "cut and run" from the war on terror, instead of looking for this guy. His whole term in office has been to ensure the PNAC''''s goals of unregulated defense industry funding by the US taxpayers.

Pitiful.

After the invasion of Iraq China was ticked off because they lost their supply of cheap oil .China negotiated oil contracts with Iran and Venezuela and told the US in no uncertain terms not to interfere or there would be dire consequences.

'' ... i just never could imagine walking into talk to a bunch of police and soldiers and saying to them: ''lets go to war in y''alls sons and daughters and brothers and sisters schools and call it ''dare ya'' and see how many little kids get mugged and raped and killed'' and then having them all say ''sounds great, let''s do it'' ... but that''s exactly what happened ...
