The US has made $$$ from the gulf, cos kuwait it paying it all back... Who do you think is going to pay back THIS war?

The Saudi's are making damn sure we pay top price for their (and everybody else's) oil. Since when have the Saudi's NOT been shrewd businessmen? Of course, some US companies do business with the Saudis (and just about any oil producing nation), but the biggest profits go to those who own the wells, and I can assure you that if US companies ending up owning Iraqi wells (without having to pay Iraq or Iraqi owners a fair price for those wells), I will do my damndest to make sure that the Bush administration comes to regret it.

On a side note, the US still owes money for Gulf War expendiatures. With Bush's business sense, we're going to owe even more, and that will hurt the overall US economy. The US Government is MUCH better at spending money than making it.
