I mean, no matter what political party your affiliated with-or even are, how many are sick and tired of people just blabbing on here like they know the REAL reason the Iraq war was started-being said that it's about oil, pride, etc.?

I agree. I grow quite weary of a country full of know-it-all cry babies that are trying to be in the spotlight when we have people who have chosen to serve our country by fighting on foreign soil to prevent the war from being further pushed into our borders. It's already here, but most people don't know it.

Yes, I am sick of hearing that the war was started because of oil, something about how we wanted their oil, or wanted to control the oil so we can keep our prices lower, or so we won't run out, or so they could raise the price and we'd still have to pay it. I don't understand why people cannot understand that the oil market is not connected to this war!! I think a lot of this came from the Fahrenheit 911 film? I'm not sure, I just know I had friends who claimed that the war was about oil at the same time the film was big. No matter what my political beliefs are, liberal or conservative, I think it's ridiculous that someone would believe that this war is about oil. No matter how evil people may think our government is, they would not stoop to a level to risk so many lives just so this country can have more oil for a couple of years. I am no expert on the war, and I am not a hardcore republican or democrat, I am stuck in the grey in most political issues, but those who want to demean this war and claim that we are there for money/wealth reasons, well it just makes me sick. Sorry, I am off my soapbox now!

Well if you remember at all the US placed Hussein in power.
He was the answer to the Iranian problem back before the hostages that they took during the Reagan administration.
The CIA places a lot of people in office, Noriega and Bin Laden all worked for the CIA.
Hussien became useless to the government and thats when dubya's daddy went in there once Saddam decided to invade Kuait for its rich oil fields.
So yes this is all over oil. Cheney wanted to build a pipe line in Iraq and Hussien gave them the big F U and that pretty much sealed his fate.
The intelligence or lack of on the WMD's was just a cover story to make it legal for the admin to go in there and finish off what his daddy could not do.

It was obviously started over oil. Both Bush and Cheney are oil men and the New American Century paper by the Neocons behind Bush says the US invades the Middle East and controls their oil (THEIR) so the US can control China and India. Seems pretty clear.
What I would like to see is people who like Bush and the war signing up to go fight it. No excuses. Go sign up right now. Put your money where your mouth is if you believe in the war so much. No chance, eh? Some good excuse I'm sure like the guy who's doing his part for the war effort by working in a sandwich shop. Yeah right

Little girl, where have you been? This war is NOT about oil for freaking crying out loud! It is for retribution to terrorists for having the nerve to attack the USA! You must be a child carrying a card for the ACLU!
America (under the leadership of a God fearing man and not afraid of you whining liberals) said there is no freakin way you will attack my people and get away with it!
Aren't you sick of just being too nice to the whole world when they all want us to DIE? I would love to hear YOUR uneducated opinion on this.

It's not about the oil right now. They went there so they could install an american puppet government so that when the oil starts to run out, they can make a lot of money.

yea... i think its hilarious that the entire country seems to know the war is a "conspiracy"....kind of takes away from the meaning of the word does it not? I mean, shouldn't someone not be in the know if it is an under-the-table war going on...there are so many idiots that gather all of their information from hollywood as opposed to newspapers, and they believe that if Chris Tucker is a CIA spy doing those crazy spy things than it must really be happening!

They have no clue, nor original ideas. They parrot this oil nonsense because they've heard it from other know-nothings. They think they are being very cool and rebellious by posting the incredible sophomoric tripe they do.

Yes! It bothers me so freaking much when people start ranting about that. Come on people, get off your soap boxes, get a little education, and stop being so darn ignorant!
