Why do people still believe we are at war with Iraq just so we can take over their oil supply?

Question

If that were the case why would the cost of Gas still be so high 5 years later??

I want the FACTS people, not insults or you will be reported.

Answer 1

People are stupid and are easily manipulated into believing things that aren't right and they never take the time to look into the truth of an issue. They so badly want to hate the President that they will believe anything and say anything to discredit him and make his administration look bad.

Answer 2

Oil supply and Iraq have nothing to do with each other, although given the fact that the USA can no longer get cheap fuel South America and Iran, I think that Iraq will feel the gap. The question you should be asking is Why would America go to war with such a poor nothing of a country like Iraq when you have countries like North Korea developing nuclear weapons which are a real threat to the free world.

Answer 3

Yes the war at Iraq is about oil. Oil is very precious and Iraq has tones of them. Saddam is trying to control the world with the oil in Iraq.Charging the world 10 times the price. He will be the most powerful man in the world if the super power let it be. God made this oil for all humanity.As for Saddam he wanted to control the World and felt that he is invincible. That is a sad moment for the Iraqi people having a President hiding in a shallow hole like a rat. That is for killing his own citizens torturing the kurds and fellow moslem.

Answer 4

Can you name any other justifiable reason that we are in Iraq. If so, please tell me. We did not find what we were looking for and as far as I know Hussein is in custody. So, the question remains, why?

Becasue Bush and his family have been in the oil business for years and there are profits to be made.

Think about it, if you were in the oil industry and you just so happened to take over a country that has a lot of it, why not push up the price of oil, that's more profit for you.

Better yet go and research for yourself the connections between Bush, Cheney, and the oil companies that they have interest in.

And by all means go to unbiased sources like encyclopedias and such.

Answer 5

Because it's true, that's why. And by the way, gas isn't "still" so high 5 years later, it's been steadily creeping up over the past 5 years.....and it's still half the price in the U.S. of what it is in other countries. Korea, for example....try pushing US$6/gallon. How would you like it if you had to pay that much for gas?

Answer 6

Well, coz the US won't take the oild supply for the good of people around the world and the people of the US! the USA is taking the oil for the benefit of the oil companies! and the US governement! so the cost is still the same, and the price is still the same and maybe higher... but the question is: where does all this revenue and money go? ;)

Answer 7

Depends on who you are?...the war in Iraq is over power...and the reduction of power for certain factions....you are right...take the oil out of Iraq and the war would not have happened in the first place...the Insurgents want the oil for the money it will generate to further their cause....oil is power...do the math...western countries do not want to lose the supply either....

Answer 8

dear my friend think real, its a reality
you know:
US attacked Iraq not only for oil but also for many other reasons that only a few people must know
us killed more than 60 000 people in iraq used weak uranium bombs , killed too many child , too many father too many mother too many brother sister, and still continue

nuclear weapons in iraq was just a big bullshit told by US & or governers

they made brothers and sisters sex in Abu Ghuraib
think if you were instead of iraq poeple
what did you do? you let some evils kill your family? no! you attacked that killers until you die so think
this war will continue until IRAQ PEOPLE be free no a bullshit like : Western Democracy

Answer 9

Who asked you to go to Iraq in the first place? Why did you not listen to the FRENCH before you invaded but instead ridiculed them instead? See where you are now?

Oil is expensive because the areas that produce oil are unstable. Thus, if you control one of the oil producing areas, you can sell it at a high price to others! PROFIT$$$$!!!!

Answer 10

then why did you all go to Iraq for? to remove Saddam? that's just an excuse..its always for the oil..you see, if you invade a country that is rich in oil,after you remove the leader, no one can stop you from taking the oil for your country.didn't you read the news?the one about US says it will back the new Iraqi government.they were suppose to.u invade and after taking out the leader, you leave the country?

Answer 11

Because that's the bitter fact. America is in war everywhere just for the OIL. And the prices of oil is rigged by Americans and all manipulated traders who deal in that commodity.
