The Truth Behind the War in Iraq
 

The following article is the best expaination for the war I have come across:

The Invasion of Iraq: Dollar vs. Euro

You need a tin foil hat

Facts are facts. You think maybe it had something to do with terrorism? :1orglaugh

It really is an interesting point of view.

I wonder if anyone can point any inaccuracies with that text.

The matter is too complicated for regular people to understand, they don't even know how money works in the world.

Seems to me that US had to invade Iraq to stay a step ahead of EU. But it really is bad when you need to resort to invasions to prevent your currency from collapsing.

We went to war with Iraq because they're brown. Americans don't like brown people.

I'll quote the great George Carlin, "America's motto: If you're brown, you're going down, That's our hobby now. But it's also our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya. Also Sudan, and now Afghanistan, and tomorrow, Iraq again, and maybe Syria, Sudan (for a second time)"

Oil, smoil, we did it because its what we do.

Back in 1973, OPEC countries quadrupled the price of their oil and tied it to the U.S. dollar. The dollar reigned supreme as the world?s de facto reserve currency.

Many believe that deeper reasons for the U.S. attack on Iraq were its decision in 1999 to require payments for its oil for food program in euros.

I don't mind my country(USA) dominating the world and making my pockets fatter.

I just hate the approach President Bush took. The whole thing could have been done covertly with assinations and pychological warfare with the world by our side instead of against us.

Yep, cancelled the Oil for Food program and changed it to their own system based in US dollars.

That's a really great article! :thumbsup

Hint: Look at the value of Dinar vs US Dollar since the 1980's. In restrospect how much is the value of Euro vs Dollar? Which seems more pressing?

Ummm.... whatever.

What?

I'm proud to vote for George Bush again, in fact I can't wait.

That's great... nice relevant post there. I like red smarties.

The war was a long time coming. It should have happened under the Clinton administration, but he was a pussy. If you don't believe Clinton was a pussy, why didn't he take Bin Laden when he was offered? We could have easily locked him up forever in connection to the embassy bombing, Marine barracks bombing and the bombing of the USS Cole.

The UN wrote 17 resolutions over a period of about 12 years that all more or less said "comply or else we'll kick your ass." Of course, the UN never did kick Saddam's when they said they would, they just kept saying "comply or else we'll kick your ass." Those of you who have children know that if you don't back up your threats, they're empty and the child will walk all over you. That's what Saddam did. He knew the threats were empty, so he kept doing what he wanted, throwing out inspectors, making them wait at the front door for hours while things were taken out the back and shooting at our aircraft during a time of "cease fire". That last one was enough for war, let alone all the other stuff. I was there being shot at when we were under a time of "cease fire". I don't like being shot at, especially since we weren't supposed to be fighting.

I would rather us have not been in the middle east at all, but since we're there, our hand was practically forced to kick Saddam's ass. Everyone in the world agreed with that until Bush said it, proof of partisan politics.

Decent article, makes a lot of sense when you look at the bigger picture

BAAA BAAAA BAAAA BAAAAAA Goes the sheep....

Check facts before you post, you look like a jack ass.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Carlin is hysterical.

YAAAAH LIZARD SHIT - FUCK!!!!

If bush wins we get 4 more years of ashhahahahaha. You my friend, will not have a job if ashhahahahaha gets 4 more years.

There was no real reason to go to war in Iraq, if Iraq didn't have the world's second largest oil field, it would be a paragraph footnote in the history books.

As it stands our military is completely overstretched, for instance the Chinese are sending troops in Haiti to 'support' peacekeeping operations there.
