ABCDXXXX, you make valid point. Thanks for the correction on who has more oil. But even though SA has more, Iraq is close behind, and considering the oil history in the Bush family I strongly suspect that it is either a major factor or THE major factor in the decision to attack.

Whether or not Al Qaeda is a union of terrorist groups or not, it still doesn't merit the attack of the governments of Middle Eastern countries (at least not without concrete proof that the governments are actually part of said terrorist organizations). My information may not have been entirely acurate, but my main point still holds.

We have yet to see the validity of "Military Intelligence".
