But who really stands to benefit from the US keeping the oil supply lines open? The US? I doubt it.
So you're saying that the U.S. that will NOT benefit?!? And the U.S. govt is doing this out of the goodness of its heart?

Oil is not a dirty word. But INVASION (for the benefit of oil) is a dirty word.


Ultimately, I think the U.S. administration will opt to chicken out of Iraq after causing so much mayhem there.
