That's because OBL was there with his chums at the Taliban. (or Taliban-banana, as the song went). North Korea, has nukes and they said they'll used them. Yet they have no oil. Are we there ready to invade and do a regime change?

This is about oil. Mark my words, after this is all over, and Saddam is gone, new oil contracts will be negotiated.

One of the first, and biggest, oil contracts will go to Halliburton (ex-Cheney's place of business). Want to bet? {g}
