The thing is we wont gain much on oil because we most likely, even after we beat the piss out of the entire desert, wont make the country an american possesion. Of course we we probably put in a dumby leader and maybe get a decent cut on oil prices but after the trickle down it wont help the consumers much at all. The big business is to acustomed to making ooogles of money and if their prices were reduced 10 fold we may see a 25 cent per gallon drop in prices. That is a decent drop but not even close to what the oil companies would see. And still the Richest 1% of america will control what is it...99% of the wealth? Either way us consumers wont get too much. its sad becase it is us that would be fighting and dying in the war to make those greedy bastards their oil money.
Another thing is one of saddams first tactics will be the same as back in the early 90's.......set fire to the oil fields.....just to F uck us.
