You know, it doesn't surprise me that at least one person out there thinks "Victory in Iraq" = "Yay, The Oil Is Flowing". Coffins and graves are still filling up at insane rates, but as long as the oil is flowing, it's all good, right?

Well for the neocons and the GOP, that is what victory smells like, the smell of crude in the morning. It will mask almost anything. Of course, production can go down easily, keep your eye on Basra and Kirkuk this year.
