Meh. Much ado about nothing. Anyone who knows, knows that this war is not about oil. Iraq never really factored into our oil supply and there are hardly any US companies currently in possession of Iraqi oil drilling contracts.
A war for oil? you are kidding me, that can't be true. I can't see Bush doing this to us, even if cheney was receiving pension from haliburton (oil company), even if the first mission of the war was to secure a haliburton off shore oil rig in that region. Why were the Iraqi's setting fire to their oil pipeline? was it to blind us with the black smoke or to destroy what we came for?
Its not true, we did not get any contracts for oil from the Iraqi's. China and Russia got it all and they opposed the war. We got nothing do your research.
If they have to kill 35 million people to get it, they'll try doing that. Whether or not they will succeed, I don't know. Probably not.
Do you really believe that they are in Iraq for terrorists? What terrorists? I haven't even heard who they were after. Osama Bin laden is part of the CIA and was trained by them. He and Bush were in on the world trade center attack. Look it up.
@dgk990 You should take the cotton out of your ears. Saddam provided bases, training camps, and other support to terrorist groups fighting the governments of neighboring Turkey and Iran, as well as to Palestinian terror groups. Moreover, we knew Saddam had WMD's and had used them and we were concerned that he would sell them due to the economic sanctions imposed upon Iraq after he invaded Kuwait. Saddam was a vile piece of filth and I am not ashamed that the US removed him from power.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's real simple if the U.S. is not buying OIL from the middle east, then the smelly discusting Arabs wont have money to fund terrorist, then the US wont have to go over to the middle east, when are all you ass hole Obama lover get that
What is the point of this video? It is politcal correctness but we are in Iraq and Afghanistan because of OIL.
What if China, India or Russia invade Iraq, Iran & Central Asia countries(former USSR)?
Even though Afghanistan does not has oil but because of its location. If we (US & Nato countries)are there, who dare to interfer with us? a 20 years plan to stay in Afghanistan?
im a liberal, but unless you people want to see america slip into one of the greatest and most horrible depressions of all time where we will be bossed around by China and the Middle East, we need to secure the iraqi oil. Our economy is on the verge of collapsing. I think that most of the damage has already been done, through the war and through 9/11, now its time to finish it up, secure our spot in the world order, and get some of that frickin oil.
Mc Cain is looking more and more tired as he campaigns around the country....he's a worn out old man who acts like 80 instead of 70 or so...He is physically a mess...how long can he last.He's no Darth Vader for sure like mean old Cheney who is bionic and refuses to croak...too mean to die!
Ok, and what's the problem here? We have known ever since it started it was over oil, and we are going to continue going to war for AMERICA'S INTERESTS! If you idiots stop using oil, we'll stop going to war over it. Plain and simple. America uses insane amounts of oil.
1. Everyone complains about gas prices.
2. We go to war to help lower them (And not to get nuked by a raving psychopath, but that's a side effect.)
Nothing wrong with oil but what have we been doing for 8 yrs to stop our dependence? NOTHING. We just stopped solar production on government land FOR MORE RESEARCH ON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. When Bush is concerned with environmental impact I think there might be other reasons like maybe the fact that Bush is an oil man those subsidies are essential for the existence of a competing industry. Offshore drilling? Yeah, it'll be on line in 8 yrs. Was it Jeb who was against it while he was gov of Fl.?
He was a POW in Vietnam for 6 years, and he broke down under terrible torture. I wonder what tolls such torture has taken on McCain's life. Medical records pertaining to his PHYSICAL health were released, however, his MENTAL health records have yet to be to disclosed. The media has been too silent concerning this matter. Why?
I could not agree more...the Melenoma he has had alone is bad news.Hes only been given an o.k. on that for two years.Not five.That stays in the body and lurking in some organ,i.e liver,pancreas...try to get insurance if you have had it.I personally know two people with that problem.Google it and see that it is in the blood as well.
lol, no prob, I'm voting Ron Paul or "none of the above"... It wont be my doing if any of them get in, we are sorta stuck with the bottom of the cookie jar (broken cookies)
what we are stuck with is either ultra liberal barack obama or ultra conservative john mcCain. Their is no middle ground to vote on. I'm not voting period.
I'm no Obama fan, but calling him liberal, let alone ultra-liberal is just stupid and shows total ignorance about him. He would be a puppet of right wing foreign policy "advisors" (that are already on his staff) just like pResident Shrub.
Voting for Ron Paul. What difference will it make? Who will know? Who will care? Will anyone be aware of the statement you're trying to make? Might as well stay home. Vote for the lesser of two evils. That's the way it frequently is, and in this case it's Obama.
jerezjulio. Speak English you dipshit. You left wing nuts are always trying to say the Republicans are taking things out of context. That statement was completely out of context. But that's what democrats do. Lie. Their too stupid to do anything else. And definitely too stupid to debate. Just keep dreaming of your racist black president. Because that will never happen. If it does, it will be another Jimmy Carter. John McCain 2008
It is alright if you vote for McCain, we understand that the idea of negotiation is far too complex for extremist ideologist.
How was it Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, ... Bomb Iran.
What country do you want to be Bombed first?
The one I like the most is 100 year of occupation, oh man there are so many, how about the one that he got a energy plan that we will not have invade countries for Oil anymore. I wonder if he is going blow the Natural gas of his Ass.
jerezjulio. bomb bomb bomb Iran. Good Idea. Blow the whole middle east off the map. That's the only way to put an end to their shit. That's why we need a Republican president. Democrats are too chickenshit. Especially Obama. When Jimmy Carter was in, Iran held our embassy hostage, while we did nothing. Bill Clinton allowed the Africans to drag our dead Marines through the streets, he was too pussy to react. Fuck you pacifist liberals. Obama said he would side with the Muslims. Read his books.
"Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran...blow the whole middle east off the map?" this kind of ignorance is exactly why we do NOT need another Republican as a president. Your inability to understand the complexity or reality of what we are facing in the Middle East and your total disregard for human life is sickening. I doubt very much that you read any of Senator Obama's books. It's painfully obvious that you do not possess the mental capacity to read and comprehend anything at that level.
Oh and one more thing. I love how you first refer to Obama as a "racist" and then follow up with your "blow the whole middle east off the map" comment, suggesting that Obama's tolerance of Muslims is one that can be seen as damaging to our country. In other posts, you even stoop as low as calling Senator Obama a "spook." You are hypocrite. You are a racist. And if you are going to stand by your ludicrous accusation that Senator Obama is a racist, please admit to being one yourself.
John McCain is definitely not doing himself or the Republicans any favours... he should think before he speaks or he could end up losing the support of some of America's allies
MSNBC is cable access. They have few hours of original shows and many many many hours of prison documentaries and Billy Mays !! I bet Billy Mays makes ten times selling orange oil over what Oldermann makes!
The Sunnis and Shiites kill each other for the oil. We are not taking any. President Bush is not some imperial king who's like "GET ME OIL, NOW!" You're not very intelligent.
