A quote taken out of context.
"The free flow of oil at market prices"
I can remember the entire quote.
Can you?
Where is it flowing now?

The Bombing Of Iraq: Part Of Our New Manifest Destiny 08/17/2001
This week, the United States launched more sorties against Iraqi military installations. We can all rest easier knowing that Saddam Hussein's plans to invade the U.S. have been thwarted yet again.
In 1991, President George Bush ordered the very first bombing run in our ongoing "war" with Iraq. The president´s approval rating easily cleared the 90 percent mark as Americans rallied together in support of our men and women in uniform. Patriotism was at an all-time high, Lee Greenwood´s God Bless the U.S.A. became the new national anthem, and we all learned the meaning of cool military words like sortie.
I must admit that I was once among the 90-plus percent of Americans who supported President Bush in his little desert safari. Our vital national interests were at stake. Rush Limbaugh said so. He told us that the Gulf War was necessary to ensure "the free-flow of oil at market prices." It sounded like a good enough reason to me. After all, oil is not only the life-blood of the United States, it is the life-blood of the entire civilized world.

"Is this what you were referring to"????

It beats working for a living. ~Phil Linz

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.

There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything
or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking.

That's a lot of humans! Whoa!

The termite population of the Earth weighs 10 times more than the human population. Moles can really dig well. A mole can dig a 300 foot tunnel in just one night. Over 10,000 birds die every year from flying into windows. So far over 1,000,000 species of animals have been discovered on Earth. A sloth is an animal that is so slow that algae can grow in its fur. The urine of cats will glow with a black light is shinned on it. The common garden slug has four noses. A giraffe has such a long tongue that it can clean its ears with it. The praying mantis can turn its head, no other insect can. When lightning strikes it hits men six times more frequently than women.

Just thought you all might like some facts, even strange ones!
