There is some discussion <a HREF="http://prairieweather.typepad.com/big_blue_stem/2005/03/palast_neocons__1.html" REL="nofollow">here</a>. The March "Iraqi Oil" Scott Horton / Greg Pallast audio interview <a HREF="http://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=82" REL="nofollow">here</a> is a great summary for those too stingey to actually buy Harpers. Pallast looks at the conflicts between the neocons and the major oil companies on what to do with Iraqi oil. Fascinating.

Why did the US invade Iraq first? Because they thought, wrongly, that it would be a military walkover. Wrong. Delusional neocons who've spent too much time reading Bernard Lewis and not enough time actually with real Arab people. Perish the thought. Indeed. Why did the US invade Iraq first?

I suspect the neocons are more interested in Syria / Lebanon as their next "Clean Break" target. All due respects to courageous Scott Ritter but Iran, unlike Iraq, will not be a walkover.
