Of the nearly 200,000 taxpayer-supported GIs now serving in Iraq how many are being use to guard the private oil/business interests, (oilfields, pipelines, trucking convoys, ships) of America's oil cartel?
I suppose this is classified TOP SECRET like everything else, but has anybody but me thought about it?

Yes, the majority of the GIs are doing just that!
In Afghanistan it is the oil pipeline that they are protecting.

Booman, you should really allow email, if you are going to throw blatantly wrong statements out there, we would love to correct you. Here's the link:

Iraq is 6th on the list of crude oil exporters to the US. Behind:
1. Canada (love those Canadians)
2. Mexico
3. Saudi Arabia (don't they support the terrorists?)
4. Venezuela (wait a minute -- I thought they hated us? Oh, yeah, they love our money...your money)
5. Nigeria - they need more help protecting their oil industry than Iraq does!

Think a little deeper and longer. No oil has been taken from Iraq Rosie, it isn't and has never been about oil.

It is the only reason the troops are there. All other reason's you could dream up such as fledgling democracy or any of the other crap that spews from Dubbyah's mouth is just that.
