Where the US gets its oil is not the same as where companies get their oil and profits. A multi-national with foreign subsidiaries does not need to sell oil to the US - so your attempt at a rebuttal is a swing and a miss.
Hillary was a little hawkish at the time. But again that was the time Bush sold to America the big lie on WMD. That's why Obama is great! How many US senators voted No to the war at the time?
As to Trump, the only thing we know about him is that he doesn't have any real policy stance on anything.
The irony is that Iraq did in fact have WMDs.
* 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
* 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents
* 17 chemical warheads containing cyclosarin (a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas)
* Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas
* Roadside bombs loaded with mustard and "conventional" sarin gas, assembled in binary chemical projectiles for maximum potency
This is only a partial list of the horrific weapons verified to have been recovered in Iraq to date. Yet Americans overwhelmingly believe U.S. and coalition forces have found no weapons of mass destruction.

It seems many have forgotten Hillary voted for the Iraq war in 2002. She supports nation building and colonialism. Surprisingly Trump did not support the war.
If we want to see a hawk president bringing back the policies of Kissinger, Cheney, Rumsfeld, you have your candidate and her name is Hillary Clinton.
Shame on you dove liberals voting for a war hungry madam president.

I believe we need a cap on wealth, but it would have to be a global one. ... I'm not a big fan of the idea of a global government.
Yes, though Donald could go off half cocked .. Hillary's psychology for beating war drums with Putin is pretty obvious: Hillary's Potential H-Bomb Misdirection Against Dad and Bill.It seems many have forgotten Hillary voted for the Iraq war in 2002.

Could they ever be trusted to tell the truth? Diogenes stopped looking for an honest man in government over 2,000 years ago, and mankind certainly hasn't shown much improvement in that area at all since then! :shock:
I don't think most of us would like to be told what we may or may not do - with no dissent permitted - by a group of elites living the good life on another part of this planet, although that seems to be the direction we are being encouraged to accept - "for the good of all." Huh? My life would be the same as the average citizen of any third-world country? I don't think so!

Hillary will lead us to war.

We discovered leaking chemical shells that had been buried since the late 1980s. A leaking shell isn't a "WMD" and neither is a barrel of chemicals.
A "WMD" is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, and one of the rather obvious requirements is, logically, that it is a functioning weapon.

Rubbish, enriched uranium doesn't "leak" out of shells.
I said "leaking chemical shells" not "enriched uranium leaking out of shells"; I might also point out to you that enriched uranium isn't a "chemical". It is an element.
I've already seen plenty of claims like the one you made. The old chemical shells - which once were WMDs but were not WMDs once they rusted through - from the 1980s were found, that much is true. (And it's something of a scandal the way we forced our soldiers to clean them up without adequate protection, training, or post-damage health care).
However, Bush didn't lead us to war on a claim that we needed to dig up old chem rounds buried in the 1980s. He didn't lead us to war because of buried yellow cake. He didn't lead us to war because there were some barrels with chemicals in them that might be used in a WMD.
He lead us to war on a claim that Saddam had WMDs and that those WMDs were a national security threat to the U.S.
The fact that we stumbled across some leftovers from Saddam's long-dismantled chemical weapons program in no way retroactively justifies a war we started for other reasons.
We went to war with Saddam because he violated the terms of his defeat in Kuwait. It wasn't a war over WMDs to begin with, yet tons were found which can only mean they were being manufactured. Gee I wonder what enriched uranium is used for? Probably the same thing they are making it for now, thanks to Obama's "deal" SUCKERS!
