What is wrong with you people? Where did I say there was a "Jewish plot"?

I also believe that oil is the primary driver behind the war in Iraq. Cheney did not call Iraq "the great prize" some years ago for nothing.

But that doesn't mean oil is the only consideration. Most of the neocons are committed Zionists, many of them are indeed former Likudniks who worked for Benjamin Netanyahu. They are folks who are very interested in promoting policies that benefit Israel.

As it happens, I regret bringing the neocons up because I'm not interested in starting a discussion about them. I simply wanted to point out that a committed Zionist like Lieberman has very obvious ulterior motives for seeing the US involved in the ME. He has taken a stand well to the right of most of his party on Iraq and it isn't hard to figure out why.
