*'s Stay Until The Job Is Complete Means Until Saddam Is Put To Death.....

[global1]

In *'s mind if he starts pulling out before Saddam's sentence is enacted he is worried that if the Iranians and/or Syrians are involved in the post pull-out of U.S. troops that they may just elect to let Saddam off the hook.

Given all the reasons that we the 'merikun' public have been given by * as to why we are in Iraq in the first place - first and foremost in *'s mind is that he wanted to settle the score with Saddam and best Poppy. That's why * is "staying the course". It is only to see Saddam put to death.

1. No, staying until the oil contracts are signed. I heard they will be

done in December. Then we need troops there to make sure the Iraqi gov't doesn't change their mind.

3. what ever happened to

that big oil field they found in the ocean before the elections? I haven't heard about it since.

5. Not done drillig yet.

If I remember correctly they were expecting a big find because of the oil found in short drilling they did. Until they finish deep drilling (5mi down) they won't know for sure if its a big one or not. I think enviromentalists filed a lawsuit too.

What are we to do; reduce dependency on foreign oil or protect the environment? Its a catch 22.

You've captured his essence.

6. Saddam is still a murderer.

Bush may have selfish motives but Saddam still filled more mass graves than Milosevic. Its funny how one criminal is bringing to justice another criminal. If only Pelosi would impeach Bush then we'll have justice!

7. How do you know that for a fact?

I'm not saying he was not a mass murderer - after all, he's on trial for killing over 140 people that tried to assassinate him - but where did you get those facts? Just curious?
