Will Trump Take Us Back to Iraq to Get the Oil? Back to war?

1. He'd have to ask Her Majesty the Queen first.

Returning what was formerly the Iraq Petroleum Company to UK interests is why we went in the first place, after all.

3. Thank you for this post.

You nailed the real outcome of Iraq. We have for decades cleaned up Britain's and Queen's Ego screw ups and there will be more to come.

4. Ah, the Royal Scam.

It's not just a Steely Dan album folks.

And you're very welcome Wellstone Ruled. Here's hoping the truth of what happened that day may someday come to light.

2. Rachel Maddow is going to discuss this topic tonight.

According to what she said last night at the end of her program.

Just a hint. You can download the audio version of her program most nights. Just point your podcast aggregator towards "Rachel Maddow" and subscribe to the audio version. It is only 10MB so it is easily accessible to even folks like me who have no available broadband connection. The podcast is not archived beyond 24 hours, but sometime late night MS/NBC puts it up. It is a bit sporadic, so patience is recommended. Still, one gets Rachel.

5. Thanks for the heads up!

Rachel's America's anchorwoman as far as I'm concerned, and her show is always an education.

6. I doubt it.

Whats more likely is Trump and his supporters will use the fear of it to drive the price up oil prices and then they will profit off the increase in gas prices which will screw us because we will be the ones paying for it.
