Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
But that irony fails because his strategic sense wasn't in the antiquities or the oil. I got the sense he was refering to military strategic situations. IE: It would be real nice to have military bases there.
In that sense your irony has no holding whatsoever. The strategic importance or lack of importance of antiquities is irrelevant to the argument. The argument is focused on other strategic elements than oil and antiquities.
By saying that antiquities isn't of strategic importance and oil is you still haven't countered the arguments for other forms of strategic importance. IE: Military Strategic importance.
Thus I don't see the Irony as the implied irony is irrelevant and thus not ironic.
