I'm not in the oil business, but I'll be paying those "expenses" for the
rest of my life. I'll never profit from Iraq. Oil businessmen on the other
hand will profit without incurring the expense. So the result is a
windfall
for "Oilmen". So why would America take on such an expense? In answer,
I'll
quote (then) governer G. W. Bush, "... I'm just a half broke oilman."
