About the oil is a leftist propaganda statement to further denounce President Bush and the American effort. If it were about oil we would have taken Kuwait years ago and we would all have big V-8's. The conflict is based on Saddam killing thousands of people with WMD's (gas, etc.), rape rooms, torture and 15 broken UN resolutions. Thank god we have a President with morals and a steel spine.

You are correct Sir. Oil was not the lone, but one of many reason for this war. However, liberals tell themselves that Americans intend to steal the oil for it's own benefit. When in reality our intentions before the war, with the oil for food program, remains the same. Ensure the people of Iraq benefit from their resources. Saddam set oil fields on fire, wasting, destroying, polluting and keeping all the profits, building palace after palace, while murdering Iraqis and letting thousands more starve to death.
"It's all about oil" "no blood for oil" "Iraq should repay us with oil" All quotes repeated on a daily basis by liberals, who never think any deeper and are unable to connect any supporting sentences.
Even if oil was what it was all about, Our intentions were good and we did the right thing and it's clear so much more has been accomplished.

You must be a Republican. They always ask others to do the work for them. Do some research on the subject. You will find Paul Bremers name. You will also find he ordered the oil to be pumped with no meters. He also was in charge when $2 billion came up missing in Iraq. Now look at Oil companies profits because of war.
In effort you can find truth, why ask others to do the work for you?
BTW, we get most of our oil from Canada not Iraq or Iran. Next is who? Hint V. In the end Iran will control Iraq no matter what we do.

between the weakest aspects Democrats/Liberals make is even as they say Bush lied about ________ (better troops, Iraqi oil, and so on..). To lie, one has to deliberately understand that what one is putting forward is pretend. If I allow you to understand that we can awaken day after today morning with out deficit, it truly is a lie pondering i understand thoroughly properly which couldn't ensue. even as Bush stated "Iraqi oil pays for the conflict." (or did he say "to assist pay for the conflict"? i'm uncertain). he may have believed that this may were a accessible determination. it truly is plausibe that he concept right here: Reconstruction will value $x, and the gross sales from the sale of Iraqi oil on the marketplace may be better positive than that. therefore, Iraqi oil pays (or help to pay) for the conflict. once you'll criticize him, criticize him for his gross miscalculation and mismanagement. you're waiting to quite make a good case for that. yet why do you'll want to bypass on a private attack and telephone him a liar? you're actual wandering top into an section that you is purely no longer waiting to in all possibility practice. It weakens your case exponentially.

Of course it is about oil. The oil is in Iraq still. W thought he would have total control of the contry long before now. He didn't listen to his advisors that said it wouldn't be easy.
Remember when he stood on the carrier and declared "War over" ? He thought then that we would start shipping oil.
And Iran, they have the second largest oil fields in the world. Do you think Iran is really about Nuclear weapons?
Did you really think Iraq was about WMDs or Democracy or Humanitarian reasons? Who have you been listening to if you did?

The Iraq war was about a myriad of reasons. Oil was just one of them. But it wasn't for the benefit of the average person. You have to be one of the big oil men to reap any benefits.
Actually amosunknown, the majority of our oil comes from Venezula. Which is why we are going to be screwed when Chavez decides to do business with China instead of the US.

ding ding ding. someone give that man a cigar.
This war isnt about oil, we didnt come in and throw out the government and take over the country's natural resources. There is a new government, and the country and all its resources still belong to the lraqi people.
We trade more oil with IRAN than any place else.
When will people learn?

Beats me....
By 2007, 100 percent of all new Brazilian cars may be able to run on 100 percent ethanol. Brazilian sugar-cane-fed biorefineries will be capable of producing sufficient ethanol to allow the entire fleet, new and old cars alike, to do so.
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0417-23.htm
The pitch to run our cars and trucks on alcohol fuel sounds irresistible: It would eliminate most U.S. gasoline consumption; avoid the costs, delays and environmental impact of new oil refineries; and keep control of our fuel in America and out of often-hostile foreign hands.
