It is better to ride the war horse to victory in November if you are in the White House and desperately distressed about more public discourse concerning your personal financial involvement with Harken, Halliburton, and Enron.
War talk is also good for your reelection chances if you are a member of the gang over at Capitol Hill who are scared to death of more stories about big campaign contributions and maybe even a few inside stock tips from the lobbyists and executives of WorldCom or Global Crossing.
In a story headlined, "In Iraqi War Scenario, Oil Is Key Issue" and "U.S. Drillers Eye Huge Petroleum Pool", the Washington Post on September 15 revealed the inevitable reason for a "regime change" in Iraq. War and weapons of mass destruction that kill Iranians and Iraqis by the thousands don't really matter and U.S. officials who were accomplices in the killing will never be brought to justice. It's the oil, stupid!
