6. I can't really answer for what the right would say ...

... but my guess, based on what I've heard them say before is that they're dying to bring freedom to the Iraq people. It's hard to believe that anyone could still believe that; but I do still hear that from right wing talk show hosts.

8. Three today per ABC Nightly News.

No big deal just business as usual.

9. Religion and oil

PNAC wants the rest of the world to be Christian and democratic...American style. I think the oil situation doesn't hurt either.

Bechtel

GE

Boeing

Lockheed Martin

You know. Murka.
