Re: Venezuelan oil. Why don't we have a war for that?

Venezuela is packed with oil, and a little distracted of late.
Why Iraq and not Venezuela?
Bush went after Iraq's oil because he thought he could build a phony case for attacking the country. There was no way he could build a case for invading Venezuela. BTW, he and his people actually prepared maps before he was first elected that divide Iraq among the US oil companies. Check the Judicial Watch and Sierra Club sites.
