By SHEER chance, the stone-agers just so happen to LIVE over the one resource the entire world needs; sweet, sweet oil. We would all be in the stone-age without it.
It's for the common good of all that we free that resource.

I agree , If you are stupid enough not to defend whats yours then others will just take it .
If history has shown us anything about the past is that if you do not defend your resources you lose them .
While we are at it We need to stop sending aide to India until it learns that cows are a food source also .
When they really run out of food I can see helping them .

Ok..one more time everyone lets use our heads and actually think about what is going on.
Saudi Arabia-Controls the largest oil reserve, and therefore the price. Any major influx of oil would challenge that control and price (profits)(EXXON/Modible $40 billion profit last quarter!)
Bush and the Saudis (prince/Ambassador Bandar) are close personal friends and business partners with the Saudis.
By controlling Iraq oil reserve, and keeping it OFF the market (Saddam was even leaking it in oil for food to France and Germany) it infringes upon these profits. It is also in the original charter that we (The US) has first dibs on Iraqi oil)
Even Greenspan has come out and said The Iraq war is for Oil. You guys have to start seeing that by now. if you don't think people in the world are motivated by profits/money and greed (especially when we are talking BILLIONS) then youa re very naive

The USA and Canada has the most oil reserves in the world in the form of tar sands and oil shale. Petroleum is easier to extract, so we should keep using the Middle East oil, and when it runs out in 20 years we will have our reserves to use after creating the refineries and pipelines we need to develop our own oil. The middle east will be irrelevent.
The rest of the world will then be struggling for an energy source, and guess who will have the market cornered: the USA!!!

Taking things by force is what barbarians do. I don't want to be a barbarian. If we act like that, then who are the stone agers?
And speaking of stone agers, you do realize that many Middle Eastern countries, like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, are quite advanced societies easily capable of competing with ours?

Sure I can see being reasonably upfront about that.
So lets go out of our way to protect the shipping, fields and pumping and pipelines. Oh wait...we didn't do that either.
We are caught in another of their perpetual civil wars. Dating back some six hundred years. We weren't getting oil from Iraq before this, but it was going on the world market.
Now the world is getting that much less. No wonder people think we can't do anything right.

I disagree with your premise that "we need it". Brazil is totally energy independent. If Brazil can do it. We sure as hell can.
Besides, I know for a fact that we have been drilling and capping wells in the Gulf of Mexico for years.
The war in Iraq is not about oil. It's not about protecting Israel. It's not about confronting the terrorism buggy man. It's about providing a distraction while our own country is being stolen from under our feet by the globalist. Perpetual war! What a concept.

The implication of your question is; since we can't globally compete fairly for oil (producing goods and services that raise the funds necessary to import oil) it's O.K. to steal it.
I hope you can see the hypocrisy of this position for a country that espouses free markets to take.

I have to admit at first it sounded like a typical neo-con attitude and now I'm sure. Which oil rich nation is next.? What do we do when the last spoonful is gone and all the lies are in your face when you wake up to find the oil is gone and your government left you to pick up the pieces. Haven't you people figured out whats really going on?

Before Iraq, price was less then 2.35 dollars a gallon, after invasion of iraq over 3.00 dollars, where do you see freeing the oil....???? Living in Stone age is to make the price higher and be blind to it as you are.!!!

No, no questions, just a comment, never in a million years would I ever dream of saying that any oil is worth a single drop of blood from our volunteer HEROES, when we have the know how and the means to be self reliant.
