No Oil left behind!

"Suppose, for a minute, that Bush and his war advisers aren't simply bullheaded boobs, feckless fanatics, or delusional dunderheads (the proposition strains credulity, I realize, but bear with me). Let's go down this path, as a thought experiment. "

John Seery's blog gives a reminder of why after so many years after the U.S. military completed the mission which we were told was removing Saddam Hussein from power. We still continue to take causalities while the situation on the ground gets worse instead of better. Even as the Washington Post reports that the Iraqi Study Group is calling for a withdrawal of U.S, troops from Iraq George W. Bush refuses to acknowledge it. Why? Again, John Seery has an answer:

"Bush and Cheney, as wily and wangling ex-oil executives, aren't simply going to walk away from those vast oil reserves without a fight."

Yep, it's no oil left behind!
