is just a coincidence that the US sent troops there?

Answer 1

I disagree.....since your source is the USEIA; an governmental organization politically driven towards economics policy.

I trust my source more...."Oil and Gas Journal"; Issue of December 2005. They are profit driven and have a financial interest in being correct and accurate. Can you name a government that makes money,....no....printing money doesn't count.

The top 4 countries in regard to oil revenue are: (barrels)

1. Saudi Arabia - 246 billion
2. Canada - 179 billion
3. Iran - 132 billion
4. Iraq - 115 billion

Answer 2

Yes i know this.......and Iran is the third biggest reserve of Oil( next target for US).......and this is not a coincidence that US army is there, this is all "planned" ! ! And this is the reason you can see the difference in treating North Korea and Iran for the same crime !! Bush want to talk to North Korea but intended to attack Iran.....what a hypocricy !!

Answer 3

The interest of the west and the States in the affairs of the Middle East certainly stems from the oil factor. But, that is not the only factor fueling the America involvement. They perceive the religious fundamentalism as a affront to the global order and their national interest.

Answer 4

That's an estimate, no one knows for certain. I don't think any rational honest person is under the impression that our PRIMARY reason for the attack was oil.

Answer 5

did you know that is why we are at war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
