is it possible our troops are dying for the profits of private oil company's?

Answer 1

All countries, for as long as history has recorded, have seeked to obtain the natural resources it needs to keep it strong and prosperous, satisfying the needs of its population, army, manufacturers and industries.

Any other option is a death sentence for the country or being conquered by its neighbors or enemies once they discover their weakness.

All US presidents have given great priority, so the USA gets all the necessary resources it needs.
All other countries do exactly the same.
Any leader that does not follow this pattern is leading his country to chaos, and bankruptcy.

In this sense leaders have to be practical, if the US loses these resources of oil, other countries (China, Russia, Japan, Indonesia) or any other, will lose no time in getting their hands on them, and the USA will be the great loser.

So, if as you say, US private oils companies are profiting from Iraqi oil, if you are American, you should be happy.
If you are Chinese or Russian you should hope Americans get out of Iraq, so your country can get in.
This is called "Real Politiks" all other idealistic rosy way of thinking would be catastrophic for your country.

If you are a nice, good willed, idealistic little fish swimming among sharks, you are dead.

Live in the real world.

Answer 2

Yes and No. Our troops fight for what our national leaders deem is in the best interest of America. If it be Oil then yes, but I think there is something in addition to Oil here. Take a look at how many terrorist attacks have happened in the past, before 9/11. Is this the best way to go about it? Not sure, but it beats not doing anything.

Answer 3

Let's see-this from an energy report published about a month before the invasion of Iraq
"Therefore, the best policy for security is to take diversification to extremes rather than classifying oil sources as “secure” and “non-secure”. The Iraqi oil is classified as a “non-secure” source, yet the US is the largest consumer of Iraqi oil. " You can read the rest at http://www.wtrg.com/EnergyCrisis/

April 2006-A report prepared for Congress entitled "Iraq Oil: Reserves, Production, and Potential Revenues" You can read the pdf at http://www.export.gov/iraq/pdf/iraq_oil_0406.pdf

Here's an excerpt: Iraq’s potential oil wealth remains largely unrealized. Substantial proven reserves exist, and there are likely more resources awaiting discovery. But oil production has
been slow to fully recover during the post-Saddam period, and many obstacles stand in the way of achieving a stable export flow. Moreover, refineries are in need of rehabilitation, necessitating imports of gasoline and cooking fuel within Iraq.
Despite these difficulties, the existence of vast resources suggests easy exploitation and lucrative export earnings that could help fund Iraq’s redevelopment. But the sheer resource size masks the difficulty, described in this paper, of generating export revenues that could fund reconstruction and development and offset several appropriations approved by Congress.

Answer 4

in terms of the quantity of the income, distinctive the oil companies made "checklist" income. in terms of return on investment, in terms of the ratio of income to capitalization, there are various different industries that are extra "worthwhile" than the oil companies. it somewhat is merely that the oil companies deal in such huge quantities of product while in comparison with different industries that their income look so out of hand. The oil companies are additionally "publicly owned" companies the place the shareholders own the agency. This includes distinctive pension money, mutual money, investments from unions, etc. it somewhat is the criminal criminal duty and fiduciary duty of the board of directors and the administration of the companies to maximise return on the shareholders' investments. As for a "providence income" tax, that's barely a providence while the return on investment is exorbitant, which, to that end, it is not. providence income are extra indicative of the monies gained by employing type action attorneys who benefit thousands and thousands while the "type" they characterize gets pennies. yet you do no longer hear some congressman whinge with regard to the exorbitant costs those attorneys command, do you? extra low fee gasoline will come from decrease oil expenditures, extra beneficial oil furnish, extra beneficial refinery means, decreased call for for oil distillate products, and the implementation of inexpensive option ability supplies.

Answer 5

What is worse is The Fuhrer George orchestrated the destruction of the World Trade Centres to scare the American people into giving up their rights and freedoms voluntarily and allow him to send troops to die for oil,profit and The New World Order.

Answer 6

Yout bet your butt! And not only is it possible, it's simply an undeniable and major reason that Bush--an ex-Texas oilman, fer chrissakes!--waged the disastrous war in the first place. WMD's were merely a convenient smoke screen to thow at the American Public. Don't think for one minute that if Iraq were the broccoli capital of the world, instead of a major crude oil reserve, that he'd have been so bent on invading. To anyone who doubts this, and is so naive as to actually think we are intereested in their civil rights and instilling democracy, I urge you to look at Rwanda. The Sudan. Afghanistan. Tibet. Darfur. Gee, how come we don't care about THEIR civil rights. Exactly: because they have no resources we want!
