If you honestly believe that the US invaded Iraq because of oil then could you answer the following questions:

Question

If our troops or other government agency were stealing Iraq's oil, don't you think the media would enjoy reporting about it? Don't you think the government officals would be caught stealing the oil? Why hasn't the NY Times (or other liberal media outlet) reported a story about having some type of evidence that it was stolen? The president could be impeached if they had some type of proof to back it up with. If you hate the president so much, why hasn't he been embarressed about being caught stealing the oil? And finally, assuming all of you are right and it is about the oil, then why are gas prices still high? I'm not going to put you down because of your beliefs but just want to understand how you feel. Some member of the GOP senate were trying hard to bring Pres. Clinton down out of office because of his scandel and if the democratic party had any evidence they would love to bring Bush down in the same fashion. So if you are right, why is Bush still in power? Thanks for answering me.

Answer 1

and the truth has been reveled. Thank God for common sense!!!
The oil bit is a damnocrat conspiracy theory to cover up their own personal failures

Answer 2

You wont get a straight answer for this one. The "No blood for oil" people have crawled back under their rocks long ago.

First off I'm no longer a fan of Bush, more indifferent now due to his limp wristed approaches to things that have gotten us into deep sh*t. BUT, isn't it funny how people levy all these heinous accusations against him yet not a peep about an impeachment from the powers that be?

Why? Because they have nothing. I think it just makes people feel 'smart' when they start mouthing off about "illegal war" etc...Yeah, Ms. latte sipping, SUV driving soccer mom is smarter than those in the highest offices in the land. Or are they saying that the Dems are SO stupid that not only were two elections "stolen" from them (and they couldn't prove it) but they can't even get impeachment proceedings rolling against such a tyrannical nut job, (as they paint him out to be)??? Funny stuff!!!! They dont realize that the more they bash Bush the worse they make their feeble party look.

Thing is, people assume they have the whole picture...But they are not even close. Yet they happily base scathing opinions on the scant amount of data that you and I as ordinary citizens are allowed to hear.


Had to edit this...Listen to the post above me, he honestly thinks that some fooling around in the White House some how warrants an impeachment more than a President that has done all the bad things he "claims" he has. Are the Dems that impotent????

Can you say "irrational"???? If not try "delusaional". If you read that post again, try to imagine the X-Files music in the background, makes it that much more funny!

Answer 3

1. Gas prices are still high because they see that we can afford the $3 a gallon, so why lower it? We will still B***h & moan, but we can afford it.
2. The majority of the reporting done is Conservative so when those liberals news stories come out with the truth, all the majority of conservative news tells the public what BS it is & you conservatives believe it.
3. Why would the president be "embarassed" as you say of "Stealing" oil, he seriously believes he's doing God's work so in NO WAY does he believe it's stealing.
4. People are working on getting his lying, stealing A** impeached. It cannot be done overnight. If you suck the presidents c**k - pretty much overnight but the slaughter of thousands of innocent lives for oil - takes a while.

Answer 4

Well its about oil and its also not about oil. Let me ask you this why is USA building a 104 acre embassy in downtown IRAQ. 104 ACRES ! Thats not big thats very very very big.

I think US bascially wants to control the world and the only part of the world that it does not have a real say is the middle east. Who has been giving it headaches.

Iraq is just a perfect excuse for Saddam never had the WMD. Its about oil but in the sense of control and not so much for utility. Controling its stake before other powers decided to move on it first and that would jeopardize US geopolitical situation.

For instance, what would happen if China or Russia directly or indirectly controls or influence the situation. So, the end take is that US invaded IRAQ for its own political agenda fullstop. Dont give the crap about Saddam being a tyrant and terrorrist.

Why Bush is still in power ? What did he do wrong in the first place ? What has he breached ? Has he committed any crime. Is it crime to protect your citizens from harm.

Why oil prices is still so high ? Look who is going to pay for the 104 acres US embassy ? Who is going to pay the billion dollars to maintain the millitary and civillian contractors in IRAQ ? The US Citizens of course ! So why bring the price down.

Answer 5

Bush did not invade Iraq for the oil. Before the war, Iraq was firmly under the thumb of the UN and the US - it would have been way more convenient to continue exploiting them at that point. People just say it is for oil when they have no understanding of economics and politics, yet still feel the need to bash Bush.

Answer 6

I don't believe the oil argument, but your questions are - by their merits - wrong.

It's not about "stealing the oil" for an individual or even for the government. If you wanted to hypothesize that Bush created the war for oil, you would assume that it's to help the oil companies.

Oh, wait - oild companies have recently reported the HIGHEST PROFITS IN THE HISTORY OF CAPITALISM.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is about oil.

And he has been caught - lying in the State of the Union; lying to the general public about WMDs; lying to the public about why there are no WMDs; etc. It's just that with Republicans in power, he can't be investigated. If the houses turn, there will be investigative panels, I assure you.

Answer 7

bush and his cronies invaded Iraq, because HE personally had nothing to lose. Who do you think is benefitting from the rebuilding of Iraq? If you don't know, the answer is bush's friends. You need to understand that "oil" wasn' t the only reason, and you need to stop using that as your only crutch. The fact that bush listened to nobody else, and was too headstrong to listen to anyone who opposed him, is the sign of a BAD LEADER! He is not articulate, he has little knowlege of the english language, or how to use words in a sentence. He is one of the worst leaders this country has ever seen, if not THE WORST. He opposes stem cell research. Not only is he extremely stupid, he stands in the way of progress! How would you feel if one of your loved ones was suffering, and eventually died, because this idiot says no to stem cell research that COULD HAVE possibly saved their life??

Answer 8

You can thank the EPA for the high gas prices, it really has nothing to do with the war in Iraq...we have enough oil reserves right in this country to over produce any amount needed here...The problem is we are not allowed to drill anymore, because we need to protect the Penguins and the Antelope...I say, I am hungary, anyone want to share a piece of antelope legs with me, and SCREW THE PENGUINS, I need to get to work!

Answer 9

Ther main reason we went into Iraq was geographical. We were already in the area so deployment would cost considerably less. The other reason is, since the Desert Storm (when we should have taken Saddam out of power) the US and coalition countries had tried to fund groups to coup Saddams regime and topple him from power. Unfortunately, none of them had it in them to be as ruthless a Saddam and he easily quashed these groups, hunted them down, and exterminated them. This led to then President Bill Clinton creating and signing the "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998" (Public Law 105-338); (codified in a note to 22 USCS § 2151); is a United States Congressional statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq.
The Act found that Iraq had, between 1980 and 1998 (1) committed various and significant violations of International Law, (2) had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agree following the First Gulf War and (3) further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change." The Act was passed in the House and Senate and signed into law by the US President Bill Clinton on October 31, 1998. Its stated purpose was: "to establish a program to support a transition to democracy in Iraq." Specifically, Congress made findings of past Iraqi military actions in violation of International Law and that Iraq had denied entry of United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) inspectors into its country to inspect for weapons of mass destruction. Congress found: "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."

Since all else had failed, and the conditions were prime, we carried out, and obeyed the law that was made in 1998.

Oil? Iraq and the region are ranked 8th on suppliers of oil to the US.

Answer 10

I can only say, if the USA has all this Iraq oil under its control? why am I paying over $3.00 per gal. it is just another spew of the far-left to try and hurt the Bush Adm. while in fact they just give aid and comfort to the enemy (democrats to be clear)
