Iraq war shows limits of US power

YEAH but not as much as American oil companies.we have our own oil btw and American companies are the ones reaping the rewards not so much Canadian companies.

I think the point he is trying to make is that oil companies benefit from the high price of oil regardless of where the oil comes from.

No I'm not! The U.S. and other countries have been involved in the "dirty work" from the start while countries like Canada did NOTHING because the war was wrong. BUT like Vultures, their oil company went into the Kurdish area and signed contracts that bipassed the central government of Iraq.

I wasn't saying YOU were making that point P4B --- I was talking about fishman (but maybe he wasn't making that point either). Anyway, I guess I'LL be the one to take ownership of this point: American oil companies (along with all other countries' oil companies) are making huge profits on the increase in the price of oil as a result of the war. That said, I don't think that was the intent of the war --- just an added bonus for Bush and Cheney and their oil-industry cronies.
