It's not so much the oil as the infrastructure, no bid contracts for food, security, roads, schools, transportation etc etc etc. (can you say Haliburton? They've got their fingers in all of it) Not to mention all of the munitions, planes, hummers, uniforms, ammo, etc etc. We get the vast majority of our oil from canada, mexico and south america. (last I heard the entire middle wast was only supplying about 25% of our oil) We SHOULD be taking their damned oil for what this war is costing us and at one time there was some mention of doing just that but then it would have rallied the cries of "oil war" from idiots around the world.

Ok, where to begin. we're in iraq, losing soldiers, wasting money, and wasting time. Granted they could be a threat to the u.s., as long as we keep security tight over here, it would be pretty hard for them to make way into the u.s. and even if they did, there's no way they could defeat us on our own land, at most they might make a small dent. they're over seas, seperated from usthey can't just run over some magical border and start Rating: 5
