This dude's got it all right.

Bush's Shock-and-Awe in Iraq was not about
Saddam's nuclear capabilities, about defending
human rights, about spreading democracy, or even
about seizing oil fields; it was about defending

about setting an example that anyone who demanded
payment in currencies other than U.S. Dollars
would be likewise punished.

Gonna be a shitpot full o' gummint-produced paper
changing hands.
