First of all, I would like to know what happened to all of Saddam's gold? He had palaces with gold faucets, gold-plated toilets, etc...he was even found (in a pit underground) wearing a gold belt buckle. I keep picturing American soldiers at the beginning of the invasion (war) "posing" in Saddam's palaces. Did Saddam stockpile gold in the form of household fixtures? WHERE ARE THEY? I can't help but recall that George Clooney movie, "Three Kings". Also--I read somewhere, in a conservative publication, that the real reason we went to war was that sanctions were about to be lifted and Saddam was going to sell his oil in euros, instead of dollars. Now, most (all?) Middle East countries buy their oil in dollars, right? Could they have all been switching to the euro? With the dollar's (rapid) decline to the euro--do you think Bush and Company attacked Iraq for this reason? (NOT WMD, links to al Queda, spread freedom and democracy, yadda yadda yadda...)! Interesting, too, we shall see (tomorrow?) if Blair faces impeachment for taking HIS country to war on false claims of WMDs...
