Explain that one to me.
For forty hours a week...

1:50:06
driving the same two-and-a-half mile route.
1:50:09
Go figure. Where do you,
where's the justification in that?

1:50:12
There's no other single area of the world today
with the opportunity for business, new busness,

1:50:15
similar to the opportunity
that's available today in Iraq.

1:50:18
The United States is now a major player
in the Iraqi oil business.

1:50:20
American troops guard the oil fields as Texas oil
workers assess their potential.

1:50:22
The President went in and did what he did,
1:50:25
and we're all supporting him and our troops,
1:50:27
and we wanna make sure that, you know,
1:50:29
the efforts and the lost lives...
1:50:31
it wasn't for no reason.
1:50:34
If it wasn't for the oil nobody would be there.
1:50:36
Nobody would worry about it.
1:50:38
Unfortunately, at least for the near term we think
it's gonna be a good situation and, a dangerous situation.

1:50:45
Good for business, bad for the people.
1:50:48
Today on the news,
1:50:50
Rumsfeld was saying and, uh, wol--, wolf--,
Wolfowitz was saying,

1:50:54
"Oh, the Iraqi people are much much better off.
1:50:59
Isn't it better that we got rid of Saddam
1:51:02
and now the Iraqi people can do what they
wanna do and really be free?"

1:51:06
Will they ever be free?
1:51:08
No they'll not be free.
1:51:12
And where are the, are the weapons
of mass destruction?

1:51:15
It was an... we were duped.
We were really duped.

1:51:19
And these poor people - the young men and women
who are being killed there - it's unnecessary.

1:51:23
- I, I'm, that's it... no more.
-... disgrace...

1:51:27
They died in a just cause,
1:51:29
for defending freedom,
and they will not have died in vain.

1:51:46
Lila had called to tell me
1:51:49
that she was coming down from Flint to Washington,
DC to attend a jobs conference.

1:51:53
On her break she said she was going to go
and pay a visit... to the White House.
