Question for the morons that said the Iraq war was about oil.
 

Why the fuck did I just pay $2.25 per gallon you fukin retards?

it was actually about cleaning up daddy's mess, and GETTINNNN' the guy that tried to kill my daddy...


oil is just a political tool these days...



I think we went over 2.50 a gallon for the shitty stuff last week...

Is that a little or a lot?

Well it could be the fact that Bush is cramming alot of the oil imported into the reserve supply, Or maybe its the fact that every time they get oil to flow in Iraq they blow it up.

And the oil flow in the gulf of mexico has slowed down because of the storms.

Lotsa reasons..... :)

oil = corporations

I dont think they give a shit about you, me and the rest here.If you thought a war would benefit you, you guessed wrong.

That's the most I ever paid.

Biggest reason............... Profit :2 cents:

It wasn't all for oil but it had a hand in it. Then the shit hit the fan and nobody joined us now we can't take the oil that we deserve to pay for the reconstruction....Boy did Bush fuck us all big time...

The anti war protesters clearly stated that the war was about oil.

If this was true,,we should be paying 5 cents a gallon,,,just like the people in Iraq. Yes,,,gas costs 5 cents a gallon there.

Well you see, the Bush family has huge steaks in the oil in the middle east. the higher they can drive the price the more money the Bush family is worth.

Oh. I pay around $6 per gallon. I wonder if I should invade a country too.

You don't get it. It was about oil so they could influence the oil markets first to jack the price of crude to sky high levels and then control the fields.

When the price of oil is where its at now all the Texas oil men can make money off domestic exploration and production as well.

The world demand for oil is 82 million barrels per day. There are 42 gallons per barrel.

So the oil producers are taking in $4.5 Billion per day with these jacked prices.

And the oil sellers are generating $8.6 million a day at the pump selling 3.4 billion gallaons of gas a day.

The Arabs, the Texans, the Russians, the Mexicans, and all the other oil wealthy countries are loving this all the way to the bank.

Shows you that Bush can even fuck that up ....

Never was succesfull in any business, so why would it be diffeent???

It's about ensuring the US have some representation in the middle east (other than Israel) so they have guaranteed access to some of its rich oil reserves. Now you guys more or less control Iraq (via puppet President) you are more secure.

*lol*.. count on me.. :)

Invade Russia

no, seriously.. TeenGodFather was right. human always have been greedy

why are you buying gallons of crude oil? :1orglaugh

IT's already over $6 a galon here in France. ou'll get used to it ;)

Bush was in Iowa today reminding voters that he was there in 2000 and promised to promote Ethanol fuel. Then he said, "I've kept my promise." What does that mean?


How many have ethanol fuel on their minds raise your hands.
How many know what ethanol is, raise your hands, lmao.

King of softdrinks?
Good shit.

But the need to dominate oil from Iraq is also deeply intertwined with the defense of the dollar. Its current strength is supported by OPEC's requirement (secured by a secret agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia) that all OPEC oil sales be denominated in dollars. This requirement is currently threatened by the desire of some OPEC countries to allow OPEC oil sales to be paid in euros.

It was just, because God told Bush to try to get some more money for the next election

KRL beat me to the reply but let me add that gas in SUBSIDIZED In Iraq. When the USA took over they could not remove the subsidy due to the fact it would create havoc with a society where the wages are much lower than in other countries without subsidies. The USA currently is paying out huge sums to subsidize gas for Iraq and in some cases even more as they have been forced to import gas from Kuwait and other neighboring countries.
