Iraq war shows limits of US power

[Psycho4Bud]

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.

Usual oil contracts between oil companies and the countries in question give the companies 15% of gross profit....who's making the big cash? The ones that usually rattle the sabers and drive oil prices up are Iran or Venezuela. Oil pricing is based on speculation.....

Now if a few oil companies in Canada want to do buisness in Iraq then that is their choice not mine.

So you feel it's just to bitch about the U.S. and how it destroyed Iraq for the oil but state this? LMAO...HEY POT, don't call this kettle black!

Have a good one!:s4:

Iraq war shows limits of US power By John Simpson World affairs editor, BBC News Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 I have spent almost a year of my life here, reporting on the conflict. An increase in US troop numbers has helped contain violence I have witnessed a disturbing amount of death and injury, and several of my friends have lost their lives. Others have become refugees and asylum-seekers. It has lasted almost as long as World War II and cost almost as much. Rating: 5
