| Actually, a thread like this could backfire on radical Bush-hating liberals who claim that Iraq was "all about the oil." That is, if the U.S. doesn't invade Venezuela or revert to a '70s Kissinger coup to replace him with a friendly Pinochetan Mini Me, it would be all the more evidence that there is no right-wing conspiracy to control world oil through military might. After all, doesn't the U.S. get the majority of its oil from Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, and Nigeria (i.e. not the Middle East)? |
