GREELY,CO. Nov.06 During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, President Bush and his aides sternly dismissed suggestions that the war was all about oil. "Nonsense," Def. Sec'y Donald Rumsfeld declared. "This is not about that," said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer as a reason to stay in Iraq.
Now, more than 3 1/2 years later someone else is asserting that the war IS about oil.
President Bush himself.
"If the United States pulled its troops out prematurely & surrendered the country to insurgents", he warns audiences just before the elections, "it would effectively hand over Iraq's considerable petroleum reserves to terrorists who would use it as a weapon against other countries".

Does this man realize that people pay attention to what he says?
So. Now. I see. Since we do not have a hold on the oil, since we do not CONTROL it, it will be used by terrorists!
Oh my God. Doesn't he realize that others see HIM as a terrorist?

It's always been about the oil. Always.

what he is saying then is that if the United States doesn't control IRAQ's OIL, then even others in the Middle East including Iraq's own government (as well as others who are far more experienced, and who are not at war with Iraq) are not suited to run Iraq's oil industry.
There would be NO terrorists if the U.S. would get out of Iraq.

We did not take Saddam out because of oil. All we had to do is drill for it here in the US.

As for the current comments, he is saying that if we leave Iraq, terrorists will extort the west who need oil to have an economy.

The rest of what you say is not worth any further comment from me. You parse words and statements that clearly mislead.

No. Terrorism has existed for thousands of years. Whether we're talking about the papish church terrorising Christians in the middle ages, or islam converting most of Southern Europe by the sword (which they now vehemently deny). Then it was, and still is, ideologies. Today it is also oil.

It's about giving the terrorists control of the MONEY that the oil brings.
Just because YOU don't get it, doesn't make the rest of us brain dead.

Humankind has always tended to terror, that is, self-destruction and nowadays a total destruction is at hand, and no human leader can help it.
