Kev; Okay, it's a given that Geggy represents the I-mock left wing crazy fringe. No offense Geggy, I'm not that much further in than you are.

Here's the thing though. Our current Government is so fucking crazy there's nothing a paranoid schizophrenic eating handfulls of espresso beans could dream up that's out of the question.

case in point:

"why hasn't Iraq been rebuilt from Iraqi oil revenue, as had been promised by President Bush? If we're controling the oil, why hasn't this happened?"

The administration is incompetent. Their aim was too control the oil, they honestly thought they could, but they suck at actually accomplishing anything. I'm not saying that's the case, I'm just saying it's a perfectly plausible scenario.

"Geggy, why has Sen. Biden been allowed to introduce an amendement to H.R. 4939 that would prevent the U.S. from having any direct control over Iraq's oil? Why hasn't he been killed by a black chopper yet?"

Who needs Black Helicopters when you have signing statements? The administration is on record as seeing congress as irrelivant. And why killl disenters when you can use them to paint the rest of their party as soft on terrorism?

"Geggy, why did the Senate approve this amendment? How does this fit into the Zionist Neo-conservative plan....?"

Some members of the senate (on both sides) are actually concerned that the President has basically made them irrelivant. Some Neo-cons quite rightly observe that W and company have utterly highjacked their equally bizarre, morally bankrupt plans. Others can vote any way they think is best suited to get them re-elected to their seat at the trough with the full knowledge that congress is irrelivant and all they need to do is think about how to keep their access to poker and whores.

The Zionist part is strictly for the key voting block of republican religous zealots who think the Rapture can't happen without Israel accepting jesus while battling the anti christs hordes. You don't need to believe to want the votes.

You shouldn't assume that just 'cause geggy says something that automatically causes it to be crazy. You know what would be really crazy? If we went to war in Iraq pretty much just cause the right folks Lusted for it. Sure they put al sorts of reasons all over it for various constituent consumptions, but what if the real reason for all of this is no more complicated than whatever the hell goes in on Cheneys head when he just has to get out there and kill several dozen farm raised birds 'to relax', and W has 'issues' with his Dad. THAT would be some crazy ass shit.
