Dictators like Saddam make their living by selling their oil, not by holding it in the ground. Perhaps, though, Saddam was too eager to sell oil concessions to French, Russian, and Italian companies rather than British and US companies.
切尼所谓的事实显然是错误的，而且他的逻辑也不对。像萨达姆这样的独裁者要靠出售石油生存，而不会任其埋在地底。不过，或许萨达姆太急于将石油开采权卖给法国、俄罗斯和意大利的公司，而不是英美的公司。
