I suppose we Americans should all be happy we're finally getting the oil we murdered thousands of civilians for.

Those who shouted so loud about it not being about the oil are staying very quiet on this one.
I wonder why ?

Yea, those billions of dollars we will control(not exactly oil) will surely offset those trillions we spent huh?

Would that be the trillions in defence contracts which of course were awarded to US companies ?

yeah seriously, all those trillions of dollars sure as hell didn't go to the iraqi's

I'm surprised anyone still thinks the war wasn't about oil, get your heads out of the sand people

And Obama isn't going to do anything about this. He isn't going to keep his promise to get us out of Iraq. It appears already from statements made by Obama that he will probably keep none of his promises.
I feel sorry for the black community. At last there big chance at change and it appears that greed still trumps everything else.

So the war would be about money not oil, correct?

Oil = Money

It's about control of resources and installing goverments that do not object to America ripping off Iraq and Afghanistan as long as they get thier cut.

Should have titled this thread Money! Not "Oil!" Of course once you invade a country and set up their government you would want them to be friendly to your ways and government. It doesn't mean I agree with it though. So to all the people who said it was for oil were wrong. It was for money. It didn't say we were going to control their oil just proceeds from some of it.
