What we have is a Republican war for oil company profits while New Orleans sinks beneath the waters.
For the record, I'm not sure about the importance oil company profits as motive for the Iraq war. Greed can make people stupid, but it takes a William Kristol sized ego to come up with something that stupid.

That's a great quote.
For some time now I've believed that the linkage of LA/N.O. to the war in Iraq is a potent one.
