Some people, including myself, were very very annoyed when the weapons inspectors left and very upset that this jackass was given such a long time to get his armaments programs back on track.

Just for the record, because there's been some bullshit flying over this point, Saddam didn't kick the inspectors out. The head of the Inspection team pulled them out. Not that Saddam isn't a very bad man

Also, apparently oil companies all over the world are against the war in Iraq. And there's some question (again at Qt3) about how much good it'd do to have the US in complete control of Iraqi oil. I have to admit that I can't find evidence of this on my own yet (what search phrase should I try? "oil companies against war" brings up countless NO BLOOD FOR OIL pages), but I trust the sources at Qt3.(Emphasis Mine)

Um... last I checked Qt3 was a bunch of game reviewer whores and megalomanaiacal game developers whose grip on reality is tenuous at best, but let's forget that at the moment.

What good would it do the US to have complete control of Iraqi oil? I dunno. The problem is, you seem to be assuming that George Jr. is stirring up this shitstorm on behalf of America's SUV-driving Soccer moms instead of the companies who would directly profit. Do you really think this "give peace a chance" PR from the oil companies is serious?
