Whereas over the past decade certain executives in
                            the oil and gas industry have donated generously to
                            various political campaigns of President George W.
                            Bush, and many were in fact "Bush Pioneers" in the
                            2000 presidential campaign,

                             Whereas the return of weapons inspectors and the
                            subsequent destruction of any weapons programs
                            would allow Saddam Hussein to remain in power,
                            where Saddam Hussein would be able to complete
                            various agreements with nations such as France and
                            Russia designed to exploit Iraq's oil and gas resources
                            without the participation of Bush Pioneers,

                             Whereas Bush Pioneers would be therefore by
                            financially harmed if Saddam Hussein were allowed to
                            remain in power, even if Saddam were completely
                            disarmed, as a result of these agreements,

                             Therefore, the United States Congress hereby
                            authorizes the President to use of United States Armed
                            Forces to commence an unprovoked attack against
                            Iraq, regardless of whether Iraq agrees to allow
                            weapons inspectors to return or to otherwise disarm,
                            with or without the participation of the UN or any
                            other nation, and in direct violation of all established
                            conventions of international law, for the express
                            purpose of removing Saddam Hussein from power,
                            thereby advancing the interests of Bush Pioneers.

                             In making this authorization, the Congress hereby
                            further recognizes that the following observations shall
                            be considered unpatriotic:

                             Throughout the nineteen eighties, the United States
                            government provided substantial military assistance to
                            Saddam Hussein,

                             As a result of that assistance, the government of Iraq
                            was able to establish a substantial chemical weapons
                            program that was subsequently used first against Iran,
                            with the United States passive acquiescence, and then
                            against Iraq's own Kurdish minority, after the United
                            States had overtly encouraged them to rebel against
                            Saddam Hussein, and then abandoned them when they
                            did,

                             Substantially all of Iraq's chemical, biological and
                            nuclear weapons and weapons programs, Iraq's oil
                            and gas industry which financed these programs, and
                            Iraq's economy, were destroyed by the Gulf War of
                            1991, by UN weapons inspectors in the aftermath of
                            the conflict, and by economic sanctions imposed at the
                            conclusion of the Gulf War,

                             It was only as a result of then chief executive officer
                            and current vice president Dick Cheney, that the
                            Brown and Root subsidiary of the Halliburton
                            Corporation rebuilt much of the oil and gas extraction
                            infrastructure that had been destroyed in Iraq during
                            the Gulf war, thereby providing Iraq with the financial
                            means to again rebuild its chemical, biological and
                            nuclear weapons programs.
