what is the real Reason that we are in this war!! IN Iraq!!?

Question

is it for the Oil? and do not sit down and tell it is for those people trying to gain their freedom. that is a lot of crap. it has to be for the Oil??

Answer 1

What is crap is your suspicion it's about oil. If it was, the US would be GETTING all that oil.

It IS about freedom, killing terrorists, and no matter how loud you bray and irrationally shout, you can't change facts!

I suspect you have never put your butt on the line for this country. I suggest you enlist and go find out for yourself what is going on there. I did my 3 tours of duty with the Marines...your turn , liberal !!!

Answer 2

Look around, China, France, and Russia are also interested in the oil that sits underground in Iraq. If we walk away from that country, the insurgents and terrorists will begin to filter the oil out, and make money on it to fund their operations. It is remotely oil-related, but not so that US oil companies can profit. That's not going to happen. We can't just walk in there, shoot a couple bullets and steal someone else's oil. What world do you live in?

Answer 3

Yes i believe it is partially about oil. It was also our right as stated by the U.N. resolution from 1991 to go back in there and finish the job any time Saddam broke his promise! Saddam broke his 1st resoultion promise when Clinton took office. Clinton waited till 1996 after 8 or 9 more resolutions were broke, to bomb the asprin factory. Which happened to coinside with the dna testing of the lewinsky dress from the cleaners! than another 5 or 6 resolutions were broken afterwards. The 2nd and last of the 17 broken resolutions were broken when Bush got in. He knew the U.N. was not going to back him going in. So they went with the intel that showed WMD's; which had also been stated numerous times under Bill Clinton. In fact when the 1996 bombing took place, he used the WMD's quite a few times in press conferences. And if you did your homwork you'd understand Russia, Japan, China, Europe, Austrailia all had the same conclusion Bush had that Iraq was armed with WMD's. Remember WMD's are comsidered biological, and checmical. The fact is Saddam used them in the war with Iran, and on the Kurds from 1992 on! the media and liberal democratic politicians have done a grand job of flooding the airwaves on lies. They did vote to go in and are still voting to fund the war! What is scaring the hell out of them now is we are having success! Iraq does have one of the top 5 oil reserves under the sand. Americans have proven they are not going to sacrifice gasing up and driving when and where ever they want too. We are actually punishing ourselves by not saying enoughs enough with the price hike! We could but we wont and we dont. The alternative is to win the war and get the cheap gas we so desire!

Answer 4

u have to look at the bigger picture , this is a part of a 50 years plan of breaking up the large / rich countries in to many smaller ones with each of them need their own infrastructures and are easy to control, so this gives long term dominance and busyness to us.
USA is not after oil as cost of war in 1/2 trillion and value of oil is 30 billion /year .
WMD never did treated the west , and in any event they were supplied by western countries to Iraq , and we never opposed it when it was used for 8 years against Iran .

Answer 5

If the war is for oil,then it is simply looting and theft on the part of USA,
But I think the prime reason is to divide Iraq into 3 states , so that to facilitate Israel to handle them in future,

Read the reasons in that piece of legislation for Congress to authorize the use of military force against Iraq.
Over 80% of Iraqi oil production is under contract to a French firm: Compagnie Petrol De Francais.

Answer 8

It's the Oil.

Answer 9

Oil reports from US in 2002, December:

Saudi Arabia - 56.2 million barrels
Venezuela 20.2 million barrels
Nigeria 19.3 million barrels
Kuwait - 5.9 million barrels
Algeria - 1.2 million barrels
Canada 46.2 million barrels
Mexico 53.8 million barrels
Iraq 11.3 million barrels
United Kingdom 11.7 million barrels
Norway 4.5 million barrels


Iraq has currently, about 2,000 wells drilled in their country. In the US, Texas alone has about 1 Million wells drilled.

Contracts with Iraq Oil companies include Petroluem coorperations from France, Russia, China, India, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands, Vietnam and others. The toppling of Suddam's regime has left intact its bureaucracies, administrative and economic. Clearly it is obvious to see that to gain even a decent amout of oil would lead to US Oil Coorperations getting entangled in senseless legal confrontations, nationally and internationally.

I have been to Iraq twice as a US Marine, Fallujah March - October 2005 and Ar Ramadi Sept. 2006 - May 2007 (extended Semper Fi) and on both tours, all domestic and commericial visits we made were to assist in the building up of schools, hospitals and homes. Combat was endured as well, wether it was hunting down scattered guirella cells and individuals in Fallujah or repelling coordinated enemy ambushes from Al Quade in Ar Ramadi. The people you hear crying out for the US Militarty to stay in Iraq are the people searching for peace and are unsure of their new goverment as they are still recovering from Suddam's harsh rule. The other people you hear demanding that the US Military leave are radical Muslim groups from diffrent tribes or (gangs) if you would. They are happy they way they were, because of their lack of an orginized goverment it gave them power to rule provinces and do with them as they wished, with no law and no justice. --- Furthur Information, in 2007 my unit coorperating with Army and Iraqi Army coorperated with local Sunni Tribe members to form a larger, more organized local Police. The building of Police stations all around the city and constant survalliance from coorperation with locals led to an immediate push of Al Quade out of the Al Anbar province. If Ar Ramadi (city of ash) could sustain such a movment, this inspired hope to the rest of the country.

The real reason we are in this war, I can tell you is because America was attacked first. Al Quade admitted, and there was reason to beleive that Iraq was harboring Al Quade forces. There was also reason to beleive that, yes there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, but no actual weapons of this quality were found. Just because of the fact that there were no WMD's doesn't stomp out that it is the reason Iraq was invaded in the first place. -- Point is, the US, we got ourselves into this mess of searching for WMD's and ended up liberating the country of Iraq from a Dictators rule, now we are stuck here. History has shown us, WW1 with Germany, Veitman, and the Gulf War that we cannot just leave a country to build it self up on its on and catch up to the rest of the world quickly. A country left weak with no civil rule will be claimed weak, and target for overthrowing, gang wars, rise of "promising" dictatored powers, or even invasion. Were in it now! And have to finish what was started.

Answer 10

The same reason we may soon be going to Iran. Because the risk to the U.S. of an Islamo-Fascist regime with nukes is too great.
