I am so glad we are protecting WHAT...

Three of the worlds largest oil companies had a very good year in 2007.

Chevron, the United States 2nd largest oil company, posted a record profit of $18.69 billion, while Americas largest oil company Exxon Mobil broke its own record for net income by any U.S. corporation, at $40.6 billion.

British Shell Oil profits for the whole of 2007 soared to $31.3bn from $25.4bn the previous year.

Now everything we have been told about why we actually went into Iraq makes so much sense to me.

The freedom of the Iraqi people, the Democratization of the Middle East, the Liberation of the WHOLE DAMN WORLD.

We have to send our soldiers around the world so that they can protect pipe lines, refineries, and of course GAS STATIONS.
This just in "the elite 101st airborne has taken up position around the Shell station in south central Baghdad."

Apparently President "Lame duck" is just holding out long enough to let this war become someone else’s problem, while the whole time his buddies are raking in the BILLIONS of dollars.

Oh yeah a few more Americans died this week, along with a over a hundred Iraqi civilians, but then again what am I thinking. What are a few hundred, or for that matter a few thousand lives compared to the Billions of dollars that can be made.

I guess Bush would call it a pretty good FAIR TRADE policy.
