Ironically Saddam was telling the truth, he didn't have WMDs and hated bin Laden. He was never responsible for the killing of US civilians anywhere. He was anti-extremist. You know which country benefited most from our war in Iraq? Iran. They were bitter enemies. Now Iran will control Iraq by proxy. Funny how America fucks itself over time and time again.
@heisinberg1 yes you are right.. and they have them pointed at every nation they deem to be their potential enemy- every arab nation, islamic neighbors and european countries like germany, italy and france. 3 jerichos as well! look it up. if they wanted to, they can destroy southern europe, the middleast and parts of africa.
The weapons of mass destruction have been found, and they are in IRAN, not Iraq. Duh! We must stop Iran from procuring WMDs, lest there be a MUSHROOM CLOUD over NYC!
@Phead128 The WMD's aren't in Iran either, they are in Israel, China, Russia and Pakistan. Iran is no threat to us with or without the nukes. Saudi Arabia and Israel will nuke America before Iran does.
Who the fuck is Dan Rather to speak on behalf of the American people ? Like all news media and our politicians he's out of touch with what the average American thinks.
Long live Iraq and may God judge the world according to justice and truth. Saddam Hussein had no fear of America or death by America. George Bush is the bottom of an Iraqis sandal.
@scottybhappy I am deeply angry and ashamed of the W. He has destroyed us worse than we destroyed Iraq. Sadaam's mistake was to not stay a bought off puppet and to start running his mouth about getting rid of the dollar, the latter was the real reason for his death imo
Unfortunately...he was right. There were no weapons of mass-destruction... And, the war was a pre-text. A pre-text to what? Who knows... But, surely, we ALL know the war wasn't about "weapons of mass-destruction" nor "democracy in Iraq".
@BigBlue0002 Iraq was a pretext to 911. building 7 was the tipping point for me to wake up. we have already been completely taken from within. It is a done deal. The fed has been stolen from the people of the united states of america and belong to some one we aren't allowed to know yet. afraid? if not then you are face-glued to the tv. God bless your family, buddy. We are going to need it.
@urpgag No truer words spoken... 9/11 was the beginning of the end of the United States as we know it. And,as America cheered the fall of Baghdad and the capture of Saddam the ensuing years have wreaked havoc on the American public; the ensuing (and ongoing) financial crisis, protests in the streets of US cities AND the unconstitutional suppression of those protests and a paralytic political process that seems unable to get anything done... Did we win the war? I certainly doesn't feel like it.
It's sad, if Saddam had more logic, and humanity, he might have been one of the best arab leaders. One of the only guys with balls. Iraq's history is great but too many wars.
@bombastic716 Yes, I wonder who helped put that "psycopath" in power... Oh yeah that's right, the CIA. And who armed him with chemical and biological weapons? Oh yeah that's right, Ronald Reagan. Go learn history and stop watching Fox news, kid. You're being lied to.
@bachaka61 The CIA did not put him in power and many countries, not just the US, helped him with his WMD program. I don't disagree that the U.S. is a highly imperfect country that has made horrible mistakes and done many bad things, but there is no question that Saddam was a mass-murdering psychopath. The fact that Iraq was better off with him in power demonstrates what primitive, blood-thirsty savages you Arab Muslims are.
@bombastic716 You're a great example of another idiot brainwashed by the Zionist media. The only blood-thirsty savages are the Bush admin, that are slaves to the Zionists, that have killed more than one million Iraquis since 2003. One million. Do you know how to count, fella? So you're the blood thirsty, primitive, savage.
And yes, there is some evidence that the CIA helped him to rise in Irak, like they helped Assad in Syria. Did u watch the news recently? CIA links to the Ghaddafi regime...
@bombastic716 And let me finish by saying that the only reason Iraq was better off with Saddam, is thanks to his secret security forces that arrested many Islamists and terrorists coming from Iran. With the same apparatus, any other President of Irak could've kept his country safe. So no, Irak didn't need a "psychopath" like you say, to stay safe: only a strong security apparatus and strong military.
@bachaka61 lol...you Arabs always make me laugh with your ridiculous Zionist conspiracy theories and how you always blame all of your problems on America and the Jews. Most of the Iraqis killed since 2003 have been killed by each other--that is, Sunnis and Shias killing each other. Iraqis hate each other even more than they hate Americans. Saddam killed millions of people with his attack on Iran and his gassing of the Kurds and and his massacres against the Shia.
@bombastic716 And you Zionist slaves make me laugh too. First off: the terrorist attacks committed in Irak are coming from Iran & Syria, this is a known fact. Iran & Syria will never let Iraq become a democratic state, it is pretty obvious. So it's not Sunnis and Shia's killing each other, but mostly Iran and Syria killing from each side. And yes, I blame the deaths of one million Iraquis on GW Bush and his team of war criminals. Saddam was evil, but he didnt kill as much people as Bush did.
@bachaka61 Did Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi come from Iran or Syria? No, he did not. He came from Jordan and most of his gang consisted of Iraqi Sunnis and other Arab Sunnis who attacked Iraqi Shia. I can agree with you that GW Bush was a horrible president who made a disastrous decision when he decided to invade Iraq. But he is not responsible for most of the killings in Iraq. Most of the killings can be attributed to Zarqawi's gang and Muqtada al-Sadr's gang and all the other local gangs in Iraq.
@bachaka61 It is common knowledge that Iraqi Sunnis and Shias hate each other and that they will go back to killing each other after all U.S forces are withdrawn. Iraq will never become a real democracy because it is an Islamic country and democracy is incompatible with barbaric Shari'a. So your country will continue to be a backward and impoverished war-torn shit-hole long after all U.S. forces are gone. But don't worry. You will still have the Jews to blame.
@bombastic716 Jews?lol Iraqui Jews were fine living in Iraq.There's another lie that you believed, coming from your Zionist masters. I do agree that there is alot of tension between sunni's and shia's in Iraq,but someone is stirring that tension. And that "someone" is Iran and Syria.True, there is alot of Islamists in Iraq, but they have been sent by the terrorist regimes of Iran and Syria to stir a civil war in Irak. There's also Al Quaeda. Fact: these terrorists are the result of the invasion.
@bachaka61 If the Jews were fine in Iraq, then why did they all leave? Do you call living as a second-class dhimmi under Shari'a law fine living? Do you call the 1941 Farhud massacre against the Jews fine living? Do you call expulsion and confiscation of Jewish property fine living? You attribute any historical occurrences of Arab mistreatment of Jews to the Zionist conspiracy. This is typical. Any facts that Arab Muslims don't like they attribute to conspiracy theories.
@bombastic716 Well I was referring to them living under Saddam. They had the same rights as other Iraquis, except that they couldn't join the army, which is something that I disagree with, but hey, it was a dictatorship. However, they left because terrorists kept bombing their Synagogues. At the time they faced enormous pressure from Israel, in order for them to immigrate there. However, most of them refused. That's when the bombings of the synagogues occured. And no, it wasn't Saddam.
@bachaka61 Almost all the Jews were gone from Iraq by 1970, which was 9 years before Saddam officially became president. Israel never forced them to immigrate and they would never have left if they felt safe and well-treated. They were desperate to get out and Israel, being the modern, civilized and advanced country that it is, embraced them with open arms.
@bombastic716 You're naive if you think that Israel is a modern and civilized country. Isn't Israel the contry that breaks the most UN resolutions?... But that's another subject.
Israel didn't force them, but they had immense pressure put on them. Then, terrorist attacks began on their synagogues, which I find really suspicious.
haha...typical. if u disagree with my answer...are u not able to refute with logics and rationality??? jus shows what an islamic society is like. complete aggression whn somebody else is in opposition of u
im not jewish, nor even christian or white. again jus goes to show u cannot prove ur point with rationality, evidence and logics. i feel really sorry for u
@tezzator My understanding of Iraq is advanced society particularly Baghdad and larger cities. Lack of hostility btw Sunni & Shiite families except for fundamentalist strains -- like cultures that clash in USA and in Israel w rural extremist Settlers. Iraq had modern schools, hospitals, etc. esp before the cruel embargo and 1991 war. I probably would have been comfortable visiting Iraq, as a secular American Jew with a sense of humor and compassion. Ashamed of what my country did and many lies.
@bombastic716 By the way... You claim that the CIA has nothing to do with the Baath party coming to power in the Middle-East. here's some info for you: February 1963: The Baath party takes control of Irak for the first time with a coup. Ali Saleh Al-Sa'adi, the Baath Party secretary general, said: "We came to power on a CIA train."
@bachaka61 No, I said that the CIA did not put Saddam Hussein in power. The CIA did support the 1963 Ba'ath party coup, but Saddam Hussein did not come to power until the late 1970s. Saddam was only 26 years old at the time of the 1963 coup and no one at the time knew how evil he was or that he would eventually take power. But I am not justifying what the CIA did in 1963 and I have never said that the U.S. government is perfect or composed of angels.
Isn't it easy to blame all of your country's problems on outsiders and to absolve the Iraqi people of all responsibility for the state their country is currently in? Even if Iran and Syria disappeared, there would still be hatred between Sunnis and Shias and Arabs and Kurds in Iraq and you know it. In Syria, there is hatred between Sunnis and Alawis. Are you going to blame foreigners for that as well? Fact: these terrorists are the result of religious hatred and the violent teachings of Islam.
@bombastic716 Honestly, I do not believe so. The hatred between Sunni's and Shia's began and grew with the Iraq/Iran war. And the Kurds, well unfortunately it grew alot with Saddam's attack on them.
In this case, I firmly think outsiders are to blame for everything happening in Iraq. Mainly USA (and UK), Syria, and Iran. USA is to blame for the instability caused by the invasion. And Iran & Syria, for 99% of the terrorist attacks on Sunni's and Shia's to create hatred and keep Irak bloody.
Iraq's government is now run by Shia Muslims who hold most of their council of representatives seats. They have increase ties between Iran and Iraq, some are even talking about a Union State(not serious talks though).
This obviously wasn't the US's goal when creating a Puppet ally which calls itself "Democratic".
The real reason US invaded Iraq is because of sadam wanted to sell his oil in Euro instead of Dollar witch would have ruined the US economy big time!!!
1. iraq in a cnn meeting stated that they wanted to change from doller to euros. and if denied they would stop all exports of oil to the U.N.
2 we invaded for their oil and once decared victorious, the change to euros was abandoned. do u see any connection in that at all. become educated before trying to post your remarks
1. Everyone is always talking about changing from the dollar to the Euro or the Yuan or whatever. All the Arab oil countries talk about it. China talks about it. What else is new?
The reason they don't is because the US dollar is the most stable and trusted currency in the world. No one is preventing any country from selling off the dollars for some other currency. They're not keeping their dollars because they're trying to do the US any favors.
so people died/dies because of oil!!?? we humans are so ignorant. The more shit you learned about society the more you seek to the beaty that is left.....the nature. peace
I swear they murdered a man who was innocent, people do your homework before you judge a man. I believe Blair and Bush along with their handlers set up Saddam., cowards die a thousand deaths and a soldier dies but once. The Devil lies to people to sway them against whomever he is trying to destroy,
It's Sad. Sadam didn't understand that the reasons for the invasion were bollox. He really believed the americans had bad information and tried to prove them wrong. HIs shitty army preperations hinted at a complete disbelief that the US would invade without proof...
Bush and blair were more interested in the oil, thats why they created lies about saddam, the irony of it, britian and west were great friends with saddam regime in the early 90s
People believe Iraq is bad bequese Clinton said so....
Now other people believe Iraq isn't bad bequese Saddam said so.....
Don't believe anything these two men i tell you. However, at 3:41 Saddam looks kinda shocked (or angry, idk). That tells that either nervous, or pissed that people judged him that way.
The point is that we don't know. And that you shouldn't judge what you don't know.
lol@all u fools&clowns who actually bleve why we invated iraq...all fools!! go2work@the factory or werver ur dumb hillbily ass works then come home&drink ur beer&listen2the news&beleve evrythn they tell u..u fkn ignorant clowns! sadam=devil..true..im an american first&foremost but listen fools&clowns when a country is sittin on somethn u want first u make them ur enemy2justify ur actions! iraq=oil=money=allia for america..its so deep that some canot comprehend thr4 u can b brainwashed dumb fools
yea.. so what about North Korea? if USA is so rightus why they dont attack them? as far as i know it's much worse situation in there than it was in Iraq.
@rara7862 I know, the USA are bullies who use force to get what they want. The president of North Korea has admitted to having a Weapons of Mass Destruction Program and the US is doing nothing about it. They know who to fuck with and who to leave alone. A lion will go after a cheetah or a single hyena, it will not go after a tiger of it's same size.
It's known that a lot of the ministers and personal staff around Saddam were partially chosen because they were Christian and he didn't trust his fellow Muslims. Can you blame him? Look how the Sunnis and Shi'ites are killing each other since he's been gone. And the Koran encourages lying, so that was another reason he wouldn't trust his fellow Muslims.
its funny how many videos on secret societys and curruption in government ar out there, and so many people comment and try to throw facts out there and nobody writing comments or posting videos is doing anything about it but write comments and act like they know anythings going on, you think people are acctually going to do something watching youtube videos and reading comments? i say you all give it a rest unless your willing to pick up a gun cause all of this is crap useless
I believe he loved his people but american propaganda (the most propagandasized country in the world) accused him of genocide and that he was suppressing his people. when we went into iraq the people started attacking our troops and we blamed al qaeda. fuck the media, the fourth branch of the government.
@StartContaversy1 yes, its true, he cared more about his country than the politicians that are running it now, theyre just puppets of the islamic republic of Iran which is also hated by its own people, the day the islamic republic is removed, the easier it will be for iraq to become a better country, and i havent forgot of the idea to remove ALL american troops from Iraq. yes Saddam did terrible acts, but his good deeds should not go unnoticed, even americans acknowledge his accomplishments
@slimv29 we need to know the truth because without it, how do we know who we are voting for? all we are, are numbers in the system. they decide everything we do including who we vote for.
@slimv29 if there is another way we would have done it. what do we do about our government and the people manipulated by their lies? do you believe the economy is messed up? or do the rich have all the money? what do we know, there is no truth in this country. this is not democracy if my voice is pointless. we cannot take up arms, we will lose. we cannot vote everyone out, too many ignorant people in this country that will vote for the snakes. or do we join them?
The truth is that Hussein slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people. No irony there. Stupid bleeding heart. You have no idea of the reality of the world. That it's not always Mickey Mouse, and your daddy's two-story house in the suburbs. If it were up to weaklings like you, we would all be speaking German. Or Spanish. God forbid someone gets there little feelings hurt. Why am I paying so much for gas, if it was for the oil. You can make a better case of it being for the Jews. Israel.
saddam said it himself he has nothing to do with osama or terrorists and sht or nuclear weapons and stuff but usa still went there now tell me what u think sure they belive he had nothing to do with all this stuff it was all busnis everyone knows that
if anyone has the audacity to call Sadam a bad person has to wonder why while he was slaughtering the Kurds, why was he doing this while on the US payroll and to TOTAL support of the Us in 1988? so what does this say about western leaders who are supposedly ethical?
@slimv29 i am not saying his attacks were unjustifiable, i am saying americans should consider history before demonizing this man...the history of the US support of sadam in late 80's while he committed all his "crimes" that US now hate him for
1972. Saddam, knowing that the Soviet Union will re-equip the Iraqi Army, travels to Moscow. Iraq and the Soviet Union sign a treaty of “Friendship and Cooperation.”
1980, September 22. The armed forces of Iraq launch an invasion against Iran. The Iraqi army, trained and influenced by Soviet advisers, has organic chemical warfare units and possesses a wide variety of delivery systems.
1978-1990. Germany (FRG), sells Iraq (28) BK-117 Helicopters (intended for VIP transport and Search & Rescue); (20) Bo-105C Light helicopters.
1979-1989. Brazil sells Iraq (67) Astros-2 MRL’s; (350) EE-11 Urutu APCs; (280) EE-3 Jararaca Reconnaissance vehicles; (1,026) EE-9 Cascavel Armoured cars; (13) Astros AV-UCF Fire control radars for use with the MRLs.
Hans Branscheidt a chemical expert says (in 2003), that Iraq purchased eight mobile chemical laboratories from the Federal Republic of Germany. He says that the construction of an Iraqi research center for missile technology "became almost exclusively the work of German companies." This report is confirmed by the head of Germany's intelligence service, August Hanning.
1990, Spring. Iraq purchases 40 top-of-the-line aerosol generators capable, of disseminating 800 gallons of liquid an hour, from Italy. They are compact enough to fit in the back of a pickup truck, small boat, or single-engine aircraft.
Two facts. One...Iraq has the second highest oil deposits in the world after Saudi Arabia.
.
Two...America and indeed the whole western world is addicted to oil; Bush admitted it. And the only thing stopping Iraq selling that oil was Saddams regime and the sanctions against it
.
So Saddam had to go. all this WMD's and 9/11 connection was bullshit. America and my own country of Britain invaded Iraq purely to get our hands on Iraq's oil....our troops died for oil..tragic
@ManlnCognito the tragic part is that there are no moral values left in america or britain... the media manupulates the minds of young and old, the vote for the wrong candidate time after time! there no strong leaders neither on the west or the east or the middle! or north nor south! ppl need to start voting by listening and not by hearing with their eyes closed!
Get you facts straight. The United States gets most of its oil from Canada. Second is Russia. Then the next few are South American countries. I don't know what Iraq is ranked but it isn't high.
false.. Iraq are not the second highest oil deposit... russia , USA, have lot more .
2nd... iraq make a profit of 5 billions last year with the oil... and USA spend more then 2200 billion for the war... so it s will take hundred and hundred of year... to make benefice of that oil for the USA
True, so a man lost his reputation and life for oil and some innocent ignorant soldiers believing they were fighting for their country also lost their lives, theses war criminals Bush and Blair and their handlers need to be brought to Justice.
1. We buy oil like we buy everything else. We don't have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to invade a country to steal it. The Arabs are more than happy to sell it to us. Their entire economy depends on it.
2. If we really were stealing the oil, the Iraqi's would be bitching about it very loudly and consistently every day. So would every government in the world. It's their ONLY major source of revenue. I don't think they could overlook it.
@Vulcan750L you are deluded ! Whay buy it when you can get it for free. thats what america thought when they tried taking over blessed Iraq and you didnt expect the reception you got america thought every one going to bow to your army. naaaa lol
I hate to break it to you but Sadam and his army has been defeated within the first few weeks. The people who are fighting now are mostly fighting with each other, not with the US. Many of the people doing the fighting aren't even Iraqis. They are foreign Arabs and Muslims of different factions with their own agendas and rivalries and differences.
A war that costs hundreds of billions of dollars is not free.
If we are going to steal things so that we don't have to pay for it, why don't we invade Canada, our largest trading partner, and where we get most of our imported oil from?
Canada would be an easy conquest. They don't have the 4th largest military in the world and they don't have religious fanatics and they are right on our border, not half way around the world.
Why don't we invade S. Africa for the gold and diamonds so that we don't have to pay for it?
Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? They have more oil than Iraq! And they don't have the 4th largest military in the world either, much easier than taking on Iraq. Most of the 911 hijackers were Saudis. Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? And why didn't we invade Kuwait and steal their oil? They are a tiny defenseless country with the 5th largest oil reserves in the world!
@Vulcan750L Good Questions but i can answer. To answer why dont the Us invade Africa ? for one america is behind the gold trade and diamond trade in africa. Second Invading Africa which is a poor country would do no favours for the Us in gaining support for the invasion. and why doesnt the Us Invade Saudi Arabia for Oil, for one Saudi Arabia is a stern Friend of America, and again the Us would get no support in the invasion of Saudi Arabia.
What do you mean the US is behind the gold and diamond trade in Africa? Do we own the gold and diamonds?
South Africa is not a poor country. They are 2 times wealthier than Iraq per capita with an economy 5 times larger than Iraq. And when did that ever matter anyway?
So we would not get support for an invasion to steal oil from Saudi Arabia, but we could get support to steal oil from Iraq?
And why would anyone support an invasion to steal from any country?
And why do we care about getting support? Do you mean, military support , or moral support? Support from who, the world community? Other countries? Why does that matter so much?
If you mean military support, only a few countries contribute anything and the contributions are small. Britain our biggest ally, normally contributes about 1/10 of our forces. We don't even need their 2 cents to take on small weak countries.
Your arguments and explanations are stupid and based on false assumptions and popular misconceptions. You have a poor understanding of what is going on in Iraq and in the world.
So you are saying the US won't invade an allied country like Saudi Arabia for moral and ethical reasons? Friendship is more important than oil?
But you don't think we care about sending our own men and women into combat to fight and DIE so we can take another country's oil? You mean we care more about the lives of Saudis than the lives of American servicemen? Maybe you should think about that one through a little bit. It doesn't make much sense to me . . .
1. Saddam wasnt able to sell it because of the sanctions against him
2. America isnt stealing the oil in the traditional sense, but rather they are taking advantage of the new system put in place by the Americans coalition of the willing upon Saddams demise. Now Oil is flowing to countries that may have otherwise never seen Iraqi oil.
1. Sadam was allowed to sell SOME of his oil for humanitarian reasons. He would have gladly sold it all to the US if we were willing to buy it given his circumstances.
2. Oil is a global commodity. It can be bought from whoever. It doesn't matter.
If Iraq refused to sell 1M barrels/day to the US and Europe and only sell to the Chinese. Well, then the Chinese would have to cancel the 1M barrels from Argentina (or wherever) in order to buy from the Iraqis, assuming they want to. Guess what happens next.
Argentina now has 1M barrels of extra oil it needs to sell or their economy takes a dive. The US or Europe will then buy that surplus oil. That is how the world oil supply works, you dumbass!
@Vulcan750L Agentina will run out of oil long before Iraq - so who's gonna make a better trading partner?
OPEC controls the flow and distribution of oil, which Saddam was not a part of. China would get their required amount of oil no matter what. Saddams oil wasnt part of the "system", so in a way its like "tax free" or even "black market" oil for anybody who was willing to defy UN sanctions and actually buy it. Nobody would cancel any deals cause they all need more oil.
Like I said, the world oil supply is global. It doesn't matter who we buy it from. Someone will sell it to us. Whether we get it from Argentina or someone else, it doesn't matter. You are totally missing the point.
And by the way, the US has more oil in the form of shale, tar sands, and heavy oil than all the oil in the middle east many times over. We also have an abundance of coal and natural gas. We are also in the process of transitioning to green alternatives.
Do you know why the price of oil goes up and down? Supply and demand. Supply and demand determines the price of oil. This goes on every day!
If the price of oil is at $100/bbl and the US just got cut off from Argentina or whoever for whatever reason, then the US might be willing to pay $110 or $120/bbl. If that happens, then the price for everyone else will also go up due to the world market. The US will still get it's oil. Other countries will cut back due to higher prices.
@Vulcan750L Supply and demand? LMAO Yes but the supply is regulated by the OPEC members, something Sddam had not been a part of for years. The last time Saddam carried any influence over OPEC was just before the Gulf war, when he advocated slowing production to increase prices and alleviate Arab debt. OPEC regulates the supply of all member states, and prior to the invasion of Iraq, USA was having a hard time dealing with Venezuela, and Iraq hadnt contributed anything in yrs.
The US is the largest buyer of oil in the world. This makes us the most important oil customer in the world. OPEC countries entire economy depends on the sale of their oil. They are not selling us oil because they are doing us favors. They need us a lot more than we need them.
And if it really came down to it, we could start developing our own oil reserves that is many times larger than all the oil reserves in the Middle East.
@Vulcan750L Americas oil reserves dont even match Canadas let alone the middle east. Yeah America could start producing more, but then they will really be at OPECs mercy once their limited supply runs out. Personally it looks like a two way street to me. You need them as much as they need you. Remeber its "supply and demand", not "supply and supply" or "demand and demand."
@Vulcan750L You never did answer my question. Do you really think Bush gave two shits about Iraqi freedom? You do realize what business Bush is in right?
Lets say OPEC decides they want to destroy the US by cutting off our oil. In the short term that will surely hurt us. But it will hurt them even more severely. Their entire economy depends on oil sales.
The US will be forced to lift all self imposed environmental restrictions and start to develop untapped oil resources as well as start pumping out the vast quantities of heavy oil that still remains in all our "dry" wells. We have over 200 years worth.
The oil crises will force the US into accelerating it's current path of oil independence and alternative fuels and green technologies.
In the short term, OPEC will succeed in severely hurting the US economy and at the same time destroy their own economies which is not nearly as diversified as ours.
In the long term, the US will come out of it energy independent. The OPEC countries on the other are fucked for good. They just lost their biggest customer.
@Vulcan750L The US would need to quadruple their production just to keep up with current demands. If the supply was cut off tommorow, Im not convinced they would be able to scramble fast enough to even come close to matching the production with consumption within the time needed. Theres a reason they havent even reduced their dependancy on foreign oil let alone made themselves independent. Can you guess that reason?
Of course we could not double or triple our production overnight. That is what I mean when I said that they would severely hurt the US economy. If we could replace the imported oil overnight, then there would be no problem at all.
The US consumes as much fuel as we do because fuel is relatively cheap for us, unlike in Europe and Japan and everywhere else. So about 1/3 of this consumption is just excessive (fat), unnecessary. That is relatively easy to eliminate.
@Vulcan750L So since we are agreed that limiting Americas oil supply would cripple them. So then why do you think they invaded Iraq? Do you believe Bush cares about Iraqi freedom or Iraqi oil contracts?
I think Bush believed Sadam who wanted payback for the first gulf war, and who supported terrorist organizations could potentially give WMDs to terrorist organizations. If you were Sadam, wouldn't you?
@Vulcan750L Wait wait wait! Who was it that supplied the Mujahadeen with their weapons again? Saddam? No! Thats right it was the Americans. Simple question. Is America getting more Iraqi oil now, or were they getting more before they toppled Saddam. What was the Gulf war over again? Thats right ... Oil. I really dont even know why your trying to defend the American invasion of Iraq. Everybody knows the Bush administration flat out lied to enlist support in their war for oil. No WMDS? hmmmm
No WMDs found. That doesn't mean Sadam didn't have them. Sadam used WMDs against the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War. He also used WMDs twice against his own people. The more well known incident took place in Halabja in 1988.
If Bush really lied about the WMDs, why did he not lie about finding them? And why did he not plant evidence to support his claims instead of admitting that none could be found?
@Vulcan750L Saddam used WMDs is correct, but can you tell me where Saddam acquired those weapons to use in his war with Iran? Thats right America. As for Bush planting evidence - why would he? He wasnt up for re-election and the Army had already done what he wanted.
I doubt the US would give Sadam WMDs. That is a lie propagated by conspiracy theorists and repeated over and over again by people like you. I haven't been able to find anything supporting that claim. So if you actually have any evidence of this, please, enlighten me.
@Vulcan750L No this is not a lie. Look it up. Countries all over the world were supplying Iraq with WMDs, and the states were some of the biggest supporter. The US was the country responsible for Saddams rise to power, so why do youy think they wouldnt help him?
@Vulcan750L Google Iran Iraq war WMDs The reports are all over the net if you bother looking. I dont follow any conspiray theories my friend as I feel they distract uss from the truth, rather I follow the News, and history, just dont be stupid enough to learn everything from one news source. Im lucky where I live because we got CNN, NBC, Fox, CBC, BBC, RT all on cable so you really get a well informed oppinion, rather then just watching the corporate media.
I've looked at where you've been leaving your comments and what videos you've been watching. Your lineup is full of conspiracy theory videos. You seem to be a fan of Alex Jones.
I've watched about 25 hours of conspiracy videos myself just to see what is up with these people and people like you. Very interesting and entertaining. Kinda like watching a fictitious thriller of conspiracies and intrigue. However, I do know when things make utter nonsense.
@Vulcan750L Nah Cant say Im a fan of Alex, but I have been a subscriber for about a two weeks now. Why? Because when Alex was telling everybody that the Fallout from Fukushima would hit America within days, the corporate meadia was telling us that the internet sources were all lying. Then with in a few days the corporate media did a 360 and started telling "Yeah the fallout is now in America - just dont worry about it". hmmmm
I'm not going to respond to anymore of your conspiracy theories and convoluted logic. Your conspiracy theories are unrelenting. We could be going back and forth for the next few months.
Aren't you a sheep of Alex Jones and others like him?
@Vulcan750L When I bring you proof of the media lying you quit? Thats fine, because Im sure I've helped to start your awakening. In my oppinion Alex Jones is just a crazy dingbat, bat that dont mean hes wrong.
I don't know if you know this, but the US and Britain are the world's leading authorities in oil technologies and developments. We created and pioneered the oil industry.
So when third world backwards countries like Iraq or Iran wants to develop their oil resources, it is not surprising they chose to go with the largest most experienced and well funded oil developing companies in the world. There is no big conspiracy going on here.
@Vulcan750L LMAO Thats funny. So since America is also the pioneer in the automotive industry, why didnt they set up ford motors immediately following WW2? Iraqs newly formed govt. hadnt even been elected by the time Ameican companies started to syphon Iraqi oil, so how do you consider that their choice?
Again do you believe your govt doesnt lie? Do you expect us to believe this too? Fuck I hate sheeple!

Ironically Saddam was telling the truth, he didn't have WMDs and hated bin Laden. He was never responsible for the killing of US civilians anywhere. He was anti-extremist. You know which country benefited most from our war in Iraq? Iran. They were bitter enemies. Now Iran will control Iraq by proxy. Funny how America fucks itself over time and time again.

The fact that Iraq was better off with him in power demonstrates what primitive, blood-thirsty savages you Arab Muslims are.

@bombastic716 You're a great example of another idiot brainwashed by the Zionist media.

And yes, there is some evidence that the CIA helped him to rise in Irak, like they helped Assad in Syria. Did u watch the news recently? CIA links to the Ghaddafi regime...

@bombastic716 And let me finish by saying that the only reason Iraq was better off with Saddam, is thanks to his secret security forces that arrested many Islamists and terrorists coming from Iran. With the same apparatus, any other President of Irak could've kept his country safe. So no, Irak didn't need a "psychopath" like you say, to stay safe: only a strong security apparatus and strong military.

@bachaka61 lol...you Arabs always make me laugh with your ridiculous Zionist conspiracy theories and how you always blame all of your problems on America and the Jews. Most of the Iraqis killed since 2003 have been killed by each other--that is, Sunnis and Shias killing each other. Iraqis hate each other even more than they hate Americans. Saddam killed millions of people with his attack on Iran and his gassing of the Kurds and and his massacres against the Shia.
bombastic716 4 months ago
@bombastic716 And you Zionist slaves make me laugh too. First off: the terrorist attacks committed in Irak are coming from Iran & Syria, this is a known fact. Iran & Syria will never let Iraq become a democratic state, it is pretty obvious. So it's not Sunnis and Shia's killing each other, but mostly Iran and Syria killing from each side. And yes, I blame the deaths of one million Iraquis on GW Bush and his team of war criminals. Saddam was evil, but he didnt kill as much people as Bush did.

@bachaka61 Did Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi come from Iran or Syria? No, he did not. He came from Jordan and most of his gang consisted of Iraqi Sunnis and other Arab Sunnis who attacked Iraqi Shia. I can agree with you that GW Bush was a horrible president who made a disastrous decision when he decided to invade Iraq. But he is not responsible for most of the killings in Iraq. Most of the killings can be attributed to Zarqawi's gang and Muqtada al-Sadr's gang and all the other local gangs in Iraq.
bombastic716 4 months ago
@bachaka61 It is common knowledge that Iraqi Sunnis and Shias hate each other and that they will go back to killing each other after all U.S forces are withdrawn. Iraq will never become a real democracy because it is an Islamic country and democracy is incompatible with barbaric Shari'a. So your country will continue to be a backward and impoverished war-torn shit-hole long after all U.S. forces are gone. But don't worry. You will still have the Jews to blame.

And that "someone" is Iran and Syria.True, there is alot of Islamists in Iraq, but they have been sent by the terrorist regimes of Iran and Syria to stir a civil war in Irak. There's also Al Quaeda.

@bombastic716 Well I was referring to them living under Saddam. They had the same rights as other Iraquis, except that they couldn't join the army, which is something that I disagree with, but hey, it was a dictatorship. However, they left because terrorists kept bombing their Synagogues. At the time they faced enormous pressure from Israel, in order for them to immigrate there. However, most of them refused. That's when the bombings of the synagogues occured. And no, it wasn't Saddam.
bachaka61 4 months ago
@bachaka61 Almost all the Jews were gone from Iraq by 1970, which was 9 years before Saddam officially became president. Israel never forced them to immigrate and they would never have left if they felt safe and well-treated. They were desperate to get out and Israel, being the modern, civilized and advanced country that it is, embraced them with open arms.

@bombastic716 You're naive if you think that Israel is a modern and civilized country. Isn't Israel the contry that breaks the most UN resolutions?... But that's another subject.
Israel didn't force them, but they had immense pressure put on them. Then, terrorist attacks began on their synagogues, which I find really suspicious.

@bombastic716 By the way... You claim that the CIA has nothing to do with the Baath party coming to power in the Middle-East. here's some info for you: February 1963: The Baath party takes control of Irak for the first time with a coup. Ali Saleh Al-Sa'adi, the Baath Party secretary general, said: "We came to power on a CIA train."
bachaka61 4 months ago
@bachaka61 No, I said that the CIA did not put Saddam Hussein in power. The CIA did support the 1963 Ba'ath party coup, but Saddam Hussein did not come to power until the late 1970s. Saddam was only 26 years old at the time of the 1963 coup and no one at the time knew how evil he was or that he would eventually take power. But I am not justifying what the CIA did in 1963 and I have never said that the U.S. government is perfect or composed of angels.
bombastic716 4 months ago
Isn't it easy to blame all of your country's problems on outsiders and to absolve the Iraqi people of all responsibility for the state their country is currently in? Even if Iran and Syria disappeared, there would still be hatred between Sunnis and Shias and Arabs and Kurds in Iraq and you know it. In Syria, there is hatred between Sunnis and Alawis. Are you going to blame foreigners for that as well? Fact: these terrorists are the result of religious hatred and the violent teachings of Islam.
bombastic716 4 months ago
@bombastic716 Honestly, I do not believe so. The hatred between Sunni's and Shia's began and grew with the Iraq/Iran war. And the Kurds, well unfortunately it grew alot with Saddam's attack on them.
In this case, I firmly think outsiders are to blame for everything happening in Iraq. Mainly USA (and UK), Syria, and Iran. USA is to blame for the instability caused by the invasion. And Iran & Syria, for 99% of the terrorist attacks on Sunni's and Shia's to create hatred and keep Irak bloody.

Hans Branscheidt a chemical expert says (in 2003), that Iraq purchased eight mobile chemical laboratories from the Federal Republic of Germany. He says that the construction of an Iraqi research center for missile technology "became almost exclusively the work of German companies."

Two facts. One...Iraq has the second highest oil deposits in the world after Saudi Arabia.
.
Two...America and indeed the whole western world is addicted to oil; Bush admitted it. And the only thing stopping Iraq selling that oil was Saddams regime and the sanctions against it
.
So Saddam had to go. all this WMD's and 9/11 connection was bullshit. America and my own country of Britain invaded Iraq purely to get our hands on Iraq's oil....our troops died for oil..tragic

1. We buy oil like we buy everything else. We don't have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to invade a country to steal it. The Arabs are more than happy to sell it to us. Their entire economy depends on it.
2. If we really were stealing the oil, the Iraqi's would be bitching about it very loudly and consistently every day. So would every government in the world. It's their ONLY major source of revenue. I don't think they could overlook it.

I hate to break it to you but Sadam and his army has been defeated within the first few weeks. The people who are fighting now are mostly fighting with each other, not with the US.

A war that costs hundreds of billions of dollars is not free.
If we are going to steal things so that we don't have to pay for it, why don't we invade Canada, our largest trading partner, and where we get most of our imported oil from?
Canada would be an easy conquest. They don't have the 4th largest military in the world and they don't have religious fanatics and they are right on our border, not half way around the world.

Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? They have more oil than Iraq! And they don't have the 4th largest military in the world either, much easier than taking on Iraq. Most of the 911 hijackers were Saudis. Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? And why didn't we invade Kuwait and steal their oil? They are a tiny defenseless country with the 5th largest oil reserves in the world!

@Vulcan750L Good Questions but i can answer. To answer why dont the Us invade Africa ? for one america is behind the gold trade and diamond trade in africa. Second Invading Africa which is a poor country would do no favours for the Us in gaining support for the invasion. and why doesnt the Us Invade Saudi Arabia for Oil, for one Saudi Arabia is a stern Friend of America, and again the Us would get no support in the invasion of Saudi Arabia.

What do you mean the US is behind the gold and diamond trade in Africa? Do we own the gold and diamonds?
South Africa is not a poor country. They are 2 times wealthier than Iraq per capita with an economy 5 times larger than Iraq. And when did that ever matter anyway?
So we would not get support for an invasion to steal oil from Saudi Arabia, but we could get support to steal oil from Iraq?
And why would anyone support an invasion to steal from any country?

And why do we care about getting support? Do you mean, military support , or moral support? Support from who, the world community? Other countries? Why does that matter so much?
If you mean military support, only a few countries contribute anything and the contributions are small. Britain our biggest ally, normally contributes about 1/10 of our forces. We don't even need their 2 cents to take on small weak countries.

If Iraq refused to sell 1M barrels/day to the US and Europe and only sell to the Chinese. Well, then the Chinese would have to cancel the 1M barrels from Argentina (or wherever) in order to buy from the Iraqis, assuming they want to. Guess what happens next.
Argentina now has 1M barrels of extra oil it needs to sell or their economy takes a dive. The US or Europe will then buy that surplus oil. That is how the world oil supply works, you dumbass!
Vulcan750L 10 months ago
@Vulcan750L Agentina will run out of oil long before Iraq - so who's gonna make a better trading partner?
OPEC controls the flow and distribution of oil, which Saddam was not a part of. China would get their required amount of oil no matter what. Saddams oil wasnt part of the "system", so in a way its like "tax free" or even "black market" oil for anybody who was willing to defy UN sanctions and actually buy it. Nobody would cancel any deals cause they all need more oil.
kirokyukan 10 months ago
@kirokyukan
Like I said, the world oil supply is global. It doesn't matter who we buy it from. Someone will sell it to us. Whether we get it from Argentina or someone else, it doesn't matter. You are totally missing the point.
And by the way, the US has more oil in the form of shale, tar sands, and heavy oil than all the oil in the middle east many times over. We also have an abundance of coal and natural gas. We are also in the process of transitioning to green alternatives.
Vulcan750L 10 months ago
@kirokyukan
Do you know why the price of oil goes up and down? Supply and demand. Supply and demand determines the price of oil. This goes on every day!
If the price of oil is at $100/bbl and the US just got cut off from Argentina or whoever for whatever reason, then the US might be willing to pay $110 or $120/bbl. If that happens, then the price for everyone else will also go up due to the world market. The US will still get it's oil. Other countries will cut back due to higher prices.
Vulcan750L 10 months ago
@Vulcan750L Supply and demand? LMAO Yes but the supply is regulated by the OPEC members, something Sddam had not been a part of for years. The last time Saddam carried any influence over OPEC was just before the Gulf war, when he advocated slowing production to increase prices and alleviate Arab debt. OPEC regulates the supply of all member states, and prior to the invasion of Iraq, USA was having a hard time dealing with Venezuela, and Iraq hadnt contributed anything in yrs.
kirokyukan 10 months ago

The US is the largest buyer of oil in the world. This makes us the most important oil customer in the world. OPEC countries entire economy depends on the sale of their oil. They are not selling us oil because they are doing us favors. They need us a lot more than we need them.
And if it really came down to it, we could start developing our own oil reserves that is many times larger than all the oil reserves in the Middle East.
Vulcan750L 10 months ago
@Vulcan750L Americas oil reserves dont even match Canadas let alone the middle east. Yeah America could start producing more, but then they will really be at OPECs mercy once their limited supply runs out. Personally it looks like a two way street to me. You need them as much as they need you. Remeber its "supply and demand", not "supply and supply" or "demand and demand."

Lets say OPEC decides they want to destroy the US by cutting off our oil. In the short term that will surely hurt us. But it will hurt them even more severely. Their entire economy depends on oil sales.
The US will be forced to lift all self imposed environmental restrictions and start to develop untapped oil resources as well as start pumping out the vast quantities of heavy oil that still remains in all our "dry" wells. We have over 200 years worth.

The oil crises will force the US into accelerating it's current path of oil independence and alternative fuels and green technologies.
In the short term, OPEC will succeed in severely hurting the US economy and at the same time destroy their own economies which is not nearly as diversified as ours.
In the long term, the US will come out of it energy independent. The OPEC countries on the other are fucked for good. They just lost their biggest customer.
Vulcan750L 10 months ago
@Vulcan750L The US would need to quadruple their production just to keep up with current demands. If the supply was cut off tommorow, Im not convinced they would be able to scramble fast enough to even come close to matching the production with consumption within the time needed. Theres a reason they havent even reduced their dependancy on foreign oil let alone made themselves independent. Can you guess that reason?
kirokyukan 10 months ago
@kirokyukan
Of course we could not double or triple our production overnight. That is what I mean when I said that they would severely hurt the US economy. If we could replace the imported oil overnight, then there would be no problem at all.
The US consumes as much fuel as we do because fuel is relatively cheap for us, unlike in Europe and Japan and everywhere else. So about 1/3 of this consumption is just excessive (fat), unnecessary. That is relatively easy to eliminate.
Vulcan750L 10 months ago

No WMDs found. That doesn't mean Sadam didn't have them. Sadam used WMDs against the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War. He also used WMDs twice against his own people. The more well known incident took place in Halabja in 1988.
If Bush really lied about the WMDs, why did he not lie about finding them? And why did he not plant evidence to support his claims instead of admitting that none could be found?

@Vulcan750L Saddam used WMDs is correct, but can you tell me where Saddam acquired those weapons to use in his war with Iran? Thats right America. As for Bush planting evidence - why would he? He wasnt up for re-election and the Army had already done what he wanted.
