Europeans, ..Spain , Itally and Germany, are the ones that claimed the US invasion was about oil and money. They meant european oil and money, not Iraqa
European countries, all of which long ago invaded and occupied each Middle East country, still considered the resources to belong to them
Under Saddam, Italy, Spain and Germany were part of the UN's corrupt Oil for Food programme, that ripped off Iraqis' of their oil
Today, Iraqi's oil is sold on the open market , all the proceeds are Iraqis.
The poll this retired person mentioned was not legit.
Extensive multi media polls showed at the time that Iraqis overwhelmingly support the US invasion. Only Saddam's Ba'thist party members, who terrorized and murdered Iraqis befor and after the invasion, oppose the US led mission.
Now Ba'thist party members are defeated, Iraqis are free and Iraq is a US ally..
I love how stubborn and ignorant right wingers are. They say they dont want to leave until they "won". The reason for the war was WMD's. We found none. The new reason was removing a horrible dictator and his Bathist regime. WE DEFEATED SADDAM AND HIS REGIME IN 21 DAYS. The war is OVER. What exists now is an occupation. And as long as we are there, there will be people who dont like it and try to harm our troops. What are we still doing there? have we redefined "victory " AGAIN?
@EARTH51087 yeah, i forgot.. it would be more appropriate to say: "(...) that just wants to put a new puppet government that will benefit american companies such as exxon and chevron, and will keep the oil traded in usa dollar
@EARTH51087 You're a fucking indoctrinated, brainwashed, insane fuckwit if you think Bush didn't invade Iraq merely for the oil. You're too ignorant to see the big picture, you fail to see your president's aims.
bring the troops home, this militarism and terrorism is nothing but a scam and most people with a brain in there head no it. The media and the government is now trying to sell us on what a great threat iran is, nothing but bs. Obama is nothing but a two faced liar.
@kinolive66 try telling your fellow Us Brethren that think your Winning the War. The truth will come out one day, Inshallah that No Muslim was ever involved in 9-11 or any other Serious Attacks like London and Madrid and all that life Gone
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't believe that survey, I m iraqi, everyone I ask around me they say the presence of US forces is necessary, including some sunni politicians, and many of those who oppose US, even radical Sadr said it is necessary but he requests timetable, I m Iraqi and I think it is necessary and it is your responsibility to complete the job, not leave the country mess. our blood will be on your hands if you leave pre-maturely.
its a disgrace that much innocent people got killed believe me without saddem if he never entered the presidency of iraq iraq would be the 10 times more then dubia or other rich states that stupid foolish men has brought nothing to its own country nothing but war and distruction and hey you should look up more how much iraqi saddem killed o wait were are all iraqis including us kurds ur leader all he cared about its pan arabism wealth and power for the arab world
If the US cannot subdue and pacify a country of 20 million in Iraq, how is it going to subdue and pacify a country of 80 million in Iran? The US could not subdue the North Korean Communists, who managed to retain their own state, or save South Vietnam from a Communist insurgency and invasion. In every major war the US has involved itself in since World War II, it has floundered and failed to achieve victory. Why?
request for dollars rose to 400% of existing amount.
thats why USA has to save its currency selling IRAQI OIL !!! these facts u cant deny like 911 was an inside job to rescue the dollar and USAs economy... act now americans, otherwise somebody else will i guess
From the planning stages of this war, there have been two purposes...to hide the erosion of American civil rights as necessary to fight "terrorism" and to line the pockets of Dickie Cheney boys at Haliburton and other republican contributors. Both purposes are proceeding along very well, which is why, despite all evidence, that Bush is adamant on continuing the war.
All thats going to happen is if we win and set up a democratic government that functions, the iraqi people will just vote for candidates who hate the west. our presence wont solve anything
90% of the locals oppose our occupation??? DUH ! What % of Americans do you think would oppose an occupation of the USA by people who look and talk totally different than us? There would be millions of 'insurgents' and I'd be one of them!!
Wait a second we went in there to help them establish a democracy? Thanks for reminding me I totally forgot. Oh well I suppose once we privatize all of there oil we'll be ready to move on the Iran.
Those troops will be there at least until Bush leaves office, and then maybe sooner. One thing's for sure, if Iraq's oil dried up today, betcha the US would start leaving tomorrow.
The Bush administration couldn't care less about what the Iraqi people want. Look at how the Katrina victims are still struggling till this day and how the Iraqi vets are being treated. If Bush refuses to take care of his own people, then Iraqi people...
it's not suprising.. Like who would want a war in there backjard..? Think about it would you want LA to be a warzone or New York? Or washington? So how are Iraqis different? Are they psycopathic-war-loving idiots?
Dun think that arab soldiers are good . Tere are other country that is good .

but the oil, weve done all the hard work, slaughtered the innocent installed our puppets and have secured 70% for our oil baron buddies.
