why do democraps complain about how we're in iraq for oil WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM TOO???

Question

i don't understand it. bush haters are constantly whining about how "we're in iraq for oil and so the oil businessmen can make money" ... WELL ... YOU'RE AN OIL MONGER TOO IDIOT!!! getting oil from the mideast not only benefits the businessman BUT YOU TOO. IT PROVIDES THE ELECTRICITY FOR YOU USE YOUR COMPUTER TO TYPE POINTLESS ANTI-BUSH RANTS ON. IT PROVIDES THE GAS FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR KIDS TO SOCCER PRACTICE. IT PROVIDES THE ENERGY YOU REQUIRE TO COOL YOUR HOMES, TO REFRIDGERATE YOUR FOOD.

do you see the hypocrisy in your "anti-war/anti-oil" stance?

Answer 1

I agree. It is very annoying to hear people who couldn't live without cars complaining about the war over oil. There are a lot of people I'd like to see waddle the four blocks to their neighborhood store instead of hopping in a car. If you drive, this is your war, too.

Answer 2

Well - as you well know we didn't go into Iraq simply for oil - we went in there because we saw (and I would still say correctly) the Iraqi governments violations of the peace treaty they had signed at the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf war that placed demands on them to allow for inspectors to check their installations for the possible production of WMD's and concerns about how they were engaging with Islamic Fascist terrorists how had proven on 9/11/2001 that they would kill Americans (not to mention other terrorist attacks on Americans outside of the United States).

Iraq had on numerous times violated the peace treaty and even Former President Clinton supported Bush in the invasion of Iraq (and he never took that support away). What you are seeing now are some Democracts and liberal nuts (who see anything the US does as evil) trying to take advantage of the current situation politically in an election year to win seats in this years upcoming Federal elections. The reality is that over time the Democrats will learn - those who do this - will loss and the democratic party will look at an anti-American Party. It is hard to recognize this party from the pro-American Party of FDR.

You are absolutely right though - many of the Democrats are being hypocrits and the ones that they should be supporting - like Liberman - they are trying to chase out of the party.

Western civilization should just conquer the middle east and settle their lands. They are a primative society that is resistant to social evolution, yet they have something that a more advanced society desires. They have also become a threat and a nuisance. We have the means and the motive to eliminate them. So is the course of human history. Where would the world be if the ancient Romans had not conquered their empire? Would the United States have contributed so much to the advancement of world technology if the simple native Americans were still the primary occupant of North America? Call it evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest. Call it capitalism, or call it evil. Call it what you will, but it is the nature of human society and is the basis of every advancement since the first stone tool.

Answer 4

Haven't you noticed that the Democraps ALWAYS complain about whatever the Republicans do? They come up with sneaky ways to slant elections in their favor and then complain when the Republicans use those EXACT same methods. It's like they think nothing is fair unless they have exclusive rights to use it for their benefit. Don't even get me started on the unions! @@#***

Answer 5

i'm on wind-power/hydroelectric. but thanks for your concern.

So are you admitting now that we are there for oil, or are you just out of crappy arguments?

And we're not there for oil, and I have never said it, we are there to ensure our place as the sole superpower in the world, if the middle east was allowed to grow unchecked we would have a serious new enemy on our hands... If Georgie had said this from the get-go instead of lying to us all, i would have been slightly more supportive of this mess, though i would much more prefer instead of toppling governments, we befriend rogue governments and their people and turn them to our side, socially, democratically, economical... because this way (George's war) is only solidifying their opposition to us and our culture... I predict we'll be seeing this Iraq Afghanistan, Palestine, north Korea, Iran mess for quite some time on reruns...

When will people start learning from history... other situations similar to bush's Iraq: Britain in India, Russia in Afghanistan, Britain in the new world, France in Vietnam, America in Vietnam, Israel in Palestine, India in Kashmir, turkey in Kurdistan, etc. etc. etc.

and for thise that know anything about history, there is quite a prevalent pattern in thos conflicts... the occupiers get forced out by the guerrilla warfare tactics of the general public who doesn't want them there... some have yet to be forced out, but you get my point... i hope...

Answer 6

I can only speak for myself, but I believe the difference is that we don't believe it is worth killing people for. So, yes, we will benefit from having cheaper oil, but it is not worth the sacrafice of our soldiers and Iraqis. Instead we should look into alternative fuels.

Answer 7

If the government would designate war size funds to developing alternative fuels and energy then we would have a choice. So no idiot there is no hypocrisy in our anti war stance.

Answer 8

Gas is $3.00+ a gallon it was less than $2 prior to the illegal war and occupation. 2500 or so of my fellow americans are dead in the war. my country is bancrupt and hated and feared around the world. Now please you moronic brownshirt wanker explain to me how your dear leader's war benefited me or any other american save his war profiteering friends.

No lies or rove talking points please, oh wait they are the same thing never mind.

Answer 9

I don't want to improve my life at the expense of other peoples lives.

Answer 10

"Democraps".you sound mature
