Why do people believe that the war in Iraq is JUST about the OIL? Just because the media thinks it make it so?

Question

The US Government nor the UN ever thought there was Nukes. He was wanting to develop them, yes, but the main reason was BIOLOGICAL and Chemical WMD's
Nukes where starting to be developed as they are now in Iran and I am seeing calls from everyone like we did before Iraq to go in and clean house.

Answer 1

Because they don't listen, don't remember that Sadam didn't keep to the treaty he signed 1991. They conveniently forget that he gassed the Kurds after we left (Herbert Walker should have gone back into Iraq after that, but that's another story) Their memory fails them that Bill Clinton even launched missiles into Iraq a few times.

Hate does funny things to people's mind, especially if they refuse to think.

Answer 2

Why is it a failure? Because we do not belong there. We on no account did. No subject what "army" successes you've got there, we failed from Day a million. We are obvious through the sizeable majority in their populace as overseas invaders. Which we're. Which they don't like. We are there, of their opinion, to cozy oil provides for ourselves. And they recognize that's real, considering the fact that it typically is. Not simplest is our being there in any respect unsafe to the opinion of the usual Muslim, however it is usually unsafe to the whole international's opinion of the US. It's on no account been shrink than it's proper now. We're now not even remotely cozy in lots of areas in Iraq, correctly, so much areas in Iraq. If you believe we are doing so amazing over there, why now not opt for a consult with? Look round. Talk to the natives. Be a visitor! LMAO. And when we claim "victory" and go away, the civil conflict that is been ready to spill over will occur. Do you believe Sadr is solely laying down now? Do you believe Iran will simply give up helping Shia militias in Iraq? Do you think for a moment that someone however the politicians there (who advantage greatly from our presence and are screwed once we go away) believe the US is doing anything well for the humans of Iraq? No, and no proper pondering character could, both. Fortunately for us, many of the US knows this now too, that is why you don't have a Republican President in 2008 and you do not a Republican Congress now. If it had been viable, we traditionally shouldn't have a Republican Supreme Court, both. But we are not able to repair that damaged method on the second.

Answer 3

Yes, the media is pretty powerful. I still think that there is some amazing leadership and spiritual potential that the younger Iraqi generation especially is going to tap into once their form of government converts into a structure that allows for free agency to thrive. Most people do not have the privilege of meeting many Iraqis face to face, and I have been told that the media only shows a fraction of what has happened in the past.

Answer 4

The media never said anything about oil, actually the media tries to deny that fact, but it's common sense cause the USA is there despite not finding nuclear weapons (which was the original excuse), and despite taking Saddam off presidency (which was the second excuse).

Answer 5

No. The media has not said it was about oil. It's just a rather logical line of thinking: why go after Saddam when he was no more of a threat than he had been for the months before 9/11? Why go after him when the more imminent threat was Osama Bin Laden? Oil. Yes, Saddam was a dictator that did horrible things, but he had not been any more of an imminent threat in the days, weeks, and months following 9/11 when Bush was spouting his evils, than he had been before Instead of going after an actual imminent threat, Osama, who HAD attacked the U.S. we go after a man who, while not good, had not directly threatened us (recently). And using the excuse of WMDs and a tie to Al Qaeda, which proved to be ABSOLUTE LIES, was an underhanded way to start a war. If Saddam was so terrible, be honest about it, but they had to lie because the real reason was Oil. Not Liberation or WMDs. OIL. (O*peration I*raqi L*iberation)....I'll let you decide for yourself, but I think it was supremely unintelligent to go after Saddam and forget Osama so easily. Saddam was bad, but Osama had actually attacked us.

Answer 6

I guess I would say... what else is it about and what evidence do you have to convince me?

WMD seems convenient... especially when Powell quit after he made the "case" for war because he thought it was a sham...

"to free the people," but why here, when there are more tyrannical regimes out there...

and there are very thin terror links, while other countries have very heavy terror links... Saudi's links are 10 fold Iraq's... at least...

Answer 7

Oil is part of it and George Junior wanted to finish pappy's job of gettin ol Saddam

Answer 10
