Question

Well if that's the case how is that not in Americas best interest unless you don't eat,drive,ride a bike,read a paper,use a gaden hose,use heat,use plastic,use any of a thousand things to save lives in a hospital every day basically millions of things we use in our everyday life are you willing to change your life by not having/using oil or pay 4-5-6 or even 10 times as much for every day items cause we don't control it be honest with yourself.

President Bush sorry for the screw up.

we are talking about our capabilities today

Answer 1

presonaly i dont think this war is for oil, if it was we would be trying to rebuild their country make sure its stable and put in a demorcratic goverment, would just make huge oil derricks let our military guard them and pump all we want. i honestly think we are trying to make Iraq a better place, even if it isnt working

im just sick of hearing oil war it just seems like a quick easy way to say that this war is wrong

thats like saying a war with canada would that be a war for timber? (sorry canadians i know you have many other valuable resources)

africa has diamond mines, would a war with an african countrie be a war for diamonds????

Answer 2

I am not sure who Prudent is. However. in regard to Iraq, oil can be bought from other sources, and from stats most oil is not purchased from Iraq.

First comes Canada, then Saudi Arabia, and then Iraq and a few other countries. And the shift has already happened where more oil is available from Canada, the Carribean gulf, and solar is reducing the need for oil {ie. Hawaii}.

So this suggestion doesn't make sense.

In fact it would be illegal and condemed by the other members of NATO, by the International Human Rights Association, by the UN security Council, and by the Geneva Convention.

The accumulated wealth is the inheritance of Muhammad and the source of the fighting between the Shias and Sunnies, since they both feel they are the proper inheritors.

So Prudent who ever she is, is not gone to Iraq for oil.

Thanks for the question that is so often raised and yet so little is understood, l hope this helps.

Answer 3

It appears that oil isn't in play in the 'free Iraq' mission. If so the US wouldn't be paying so much for crude. In addition to Iraq owing us bundles of cash for the ordnance used in it's liberation, there is atleast the consideration of the massive expense of rebuilding the nation. Using oil to pay for these services would be a great gesture of friendship from our so-called ally. Come on, just how much money do thes e guys need for the oil they sell? Billions of dollars go to the mid-east every single day. The 'nobility' of these countries build more palaces than they can need, buy multiple luxury cars, yachts, and private aircraft, while the citizend scape a living out of the sand. That money could build good homes and food for their subjects. Now the funny part... while the 'nobels' get richer from the sale of oil and the people live in virtual squalor, the people hate America for their pathetic standard of living. While I do not condone a welfare state of any kind A nation with that many dollars percapita can pay a better wage to its people. OMG, if the people were happy and healthy they might stop killing themselve and others ot of cultural jealousy because they now share the 'good life'. Nn... I don't see oil playing a big part... the war debt continues to grow. Supplies are sent free of charge. From what i've seen, we are paying Iraq for the opportunity to have our people killed doing the job that they should have done themselves.

First, run-on sentences are important thingis to avoid. I'm not even sure what side you are coming at this issue from. But it would seem as if Bush did NOT go Iraq solely for oil. If he had, our military would be operating all those oil wells, but they are not. We'd also be paying less in oil prices, but prices are much higher than those at the war's start. Oil is always a factor, but I find it hard to believe Bush and his cabinet would have sat down and agreed to attack a country all over oil. Someone would have said something by now, especially former cabinet members with no job to lose.

Answer 5

If you're asking if Bush took us to Iraq to conquer the country and take their oil, then the answer is no, of course not. That simply isn't true, and anyone who says so is feeding you false propoganda.

I suppose you could make a case that oil is a factor though. If Iraq and the middle east had no oil, they wouldn't have much money, and probably wouldn't even live there since it is mostly desert. They wouldn't have money to fund terrorism. There would be no economic strategic interest there for the US to protect. We certainly can't leave now, as Iran and/or Syria would probably take over Iraq, which is unacceptable.

Answer 6

No. He's got some Don Quixote idea that he is the Savior of the World. George Bush and only George Bush is the only one who knows anything about anything, according to him. Now he is sunk in a quagmire and the very fact they put together an Iraq Study Group was proof positive that the whole strategy is not working, so why did they need these people to sit around for 8 months just to say it was not working, and then give a bunch of recommendations that Bush will ignore anyway? Bush is stuck in an endless loop... things are great, things are bad, we will stay until the job is done.. things are great and bad... stay... sit... beg...

Oil? Hell no. It's all ego, every inch of it.

Answer 7

First off I would not use prudent and Bush in the same sentence. If the U.S went to Iraq because of the oil you can bet it is in the best interest of the super rich who influence Washington, not you, and I as consumers of oil based products. Billions of dollars have been wasted on incompetent and inept contractors in Iraq, who are personal friends of Bush and Cheney among other people.....hmmmm.....

Answer 8

did you mean Prudence Bush? She isn't doing too well these days sorry to say. Gettin a bit long in the tooth if ya know what I mean. I went over to her house the other day to see if she needed anything from the store and to see how she was doing and she said I'm doing pretty damn good for being 87 (as she knocks on wood, the kitchen table) and then she said I'll check the fridge just as soon as I see who's at the door.

Answer 9

Absolutely.

If he had really invaded Iraq to rid them of Saddam, then why hasn't he invaded every other country with a tyrannical leader? Why haven't we declared war on China or North Korea for their human rights violations? Because those countries do not have the amount of oil that Iraq has.

Answer 10

Who's Prudent Bush?
