Absolutely. I've always believed that the invasion was oil-motivated. Bush and his cronies have been lying. When they talk about WMD, it's a farce.

Irak? Correct where? Because I don't know anyone who spells it like that.
And big wow, everyone on the planet (with the exception of a few people who believed George and Tony, and a few more who couldn't care less) knows fine that it was all about oil. Have Greenspan got any actual evidence to back up what your saying? Because if not they're just the same as everyone else. They believe it was all about oil, but actually proving it is a different story.
No WMD's, no terrorists, and no long range missiles. Ok, NOW Iraq's full of terrorists, but that's since America turned up with 'Shock and Awe' tactics.

Greetings. of course it was oil. why else would we have invaded them? because they were a security threat with the weapons of mass destruction they never had? Oil. We care about freedom for them so we invade the most progressive and least fundamental terrorist nation in Arabia so that is out. Oil is what is left and it is being sold at a huge rate. and the money from the sale of their oil just disappears with no record of where the money went. Actually I would say if it was not for the oil then it was simply for some strange psycho reason.

Even the coarsest of men and women on the streets of the nation realize that the middle eastern crises with regards to the United States' involvement was founded on oil.
'No great surprises. Greenspan simply corroborated what millions of Americans have long known.

That is correct.There was no WMD in Iraq.For US ,Iraq was not a threat at all.It was a part of US plan to get control over oil resources all over the world,especially from Muslim countries.The next possible destination is Iran.
There will be a situation world oil resources will be controlled by USA,China and Russia.The secret is that US keeps it oil in tact and import oil,to retain oil monopoly in future .

I've always believed the real reason was oil.
Can you hear the call to arms to help the poor people in Zimbabwe? or Burma? or ?

You know, we need to get it straight that fighting for oil is not necessarily a bad thing, It is the life blood of our economy, and without it we would become a second rate power in a few years. The problem I have with Bush is that he has done little to start weaning us off off oil, and has never been straight with us.
