im not contending that. im just tired of us being lied to. you want iraqi oil? then tell us what its for...dont besmirch the names of soldiers bravely dying so you can hide out and rape a country at your leisure.

a base in iraq in the first place would have been a way better idea. the un wouldve been behind it and we couldve even had less american troops in the crossfire.
