Bush wants The Caspian Sea

[KingFlorez]

Now I knew the neocons wanting war with Iran was about oil, but what I forgot is they don't just want Iran's oil, they want to be able to get to the Caspian Sea which is rich in oil and maybe natural gas. Now that the Iraq war has failed and there is no sign his friends can get their hands on that oil, Bush is setting it another venture, he's courting the countries that border the Caspian Sea, he had Azerbaijan's President Aliyev at the White House

And he's urged the leaders of two of the Caspian Sea countries to sign an a oil deal http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/06/5EFEBA41-B283-4A78-B3C7-6207DE20A7EC.html

And he's made friends with Islam Karimov, the insane dictator of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan doesn't border the sea, but the pipeline would have to run through there.

And there has always been speculation that Bush wanted to run the pipeline to the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan, which was invaded in 2001. If the Afghanistan invasion was really about Osama, he would have been found by now. Bush has used diplomacy with other leaders whose countries border the sea, but he knows that won't work with Iran, so the only way he can get to those resources is to get rid of the Iranian government. Now I know this has probably all been discussed before, but I wanted to bring it back up from a fresh perspective.
