[Overpaid Slacker]

Red -- You're still calling it "his" oil. Obviously you're impervious to the distinction. And you call what happened in Iraq an "election"? That's got to be the most surreal use of that term since the USSR. The UN is morally bankrupt and w/o any efficacy to enforce its will -- that was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt by the events of the last dozen years. And yes, I can slam it for passing resolutions that it had no intention of backing up and then abetting Hussein's crimes. I see no corner. If you want to insist on "perfect" intelligence from the CIA or anybody else, try being intelligent yourself first.
