i know i hate using my father as a source but what the hell...the man has worked in 9 different oil producing countries......petroleum engineers get paid to predict this kind of sh*t....and its the SPE(Society of Petroleum Engineers) that had a newsletter talking about this oil shortage that is going to arise becuase of the worlds greater demand....but whatever ....what do they know . plus...you guys don't even understand the amount of money that will arise if they help Iraq with its oil industry...especially if the oil companies are not nationalized....i don't know who's running the oil business right now....i'm sure its not the Iraqi's....there are so many advantages from staying in Iraq;s rebuilding process...i just happened to name one.
Ah, to be a student again and assume I know everything. College is a wonderful place. Not denying fossil fuels are finite. Again, that does not a conspiracy make. What makes you claim we 'don't even understand the amount of money that will arise if they help Iraq with its oil industry?' On what do you base that observation? Do you know 'us'? Or our backgrounds? No. You don't. So save your rolleyes for the four year olds out there you're actually more informed than. The US government could much more easily just said to Saddam 'hey, you know what - nevermind - let's be buds. We still don't like Iran. Don't be invading other countries, but we'll sell you weapons - watch you back - buy your oil.' That would have produced the same gains you claim with no intervention, no bloodshed, no cost to our treasury.
Lol, so Cheney's cabal was running things during Clinton's administration? That article's a joke. As I indicated earlier, if this was for oil access and that was the main criteria for our action - we could have just made nice with Saddam.
Does this make any since to you? "You know, I know that Saddam tried to kill my father, and my father put together a collation to attack Iraq, but I think we should make nice with him get the UN to drop all sanctions we have asked for, because I want to make him an ally so we can buy his oil." - George W. Bush No it doesn't make any since, it's ludicrous.
Its no more ludicrous than these conspiracy theories. The fact is it would have made MORE sense just to make nice with Saddam than to intervene if the goal was to access Iraqi oil. And since this conspiracy bruhaha asserts its Cheney running things, not Bush - your funny quote is only that - funny. It makes no substantive point at all.
