Oil profits for the big Oil companies.
Never about just ridding the world of this particular tyrant.
Absolutely nothing to do with WMD.
OIL and the destruction of documents that would have caused humiliation to the Bush Family, although it is not precisely certain that these documents which clearly reveal the US sale of chemicals to Iraq that permitted the manufacture of certain poisonous nerve gases, were destroyed.
We shall see if some industrious historian ever manages to aquire these and puts together what will in effect be the Bush family legacy.
Link with regards to the Oil.

There is no doubt about that, the US and co. are not hung up about "freedom", after all, they supported him . . . dam, they supported him in 1982, which one of his crimes did they hang him for again? :roll: I think if he hadn't invaded Kuwait, he'd still be Washington's lap dog.

As long as they get the oil, who cares about a few 100 thousand dead civilians.

It's clear that both of you are following the islamist propaganda.

:doh
 
Oh, how's that then? :roll:

Everybody on this forum knows that you're very pro-terrorist, Makhno. You have no clue as to the true origins of the war in Iraq. Nobody really does.

Speculate away, but be advised that anything you on this subject will be speculation and nothing more.

Yet more half-witted libellous comments yourself, seeking to ignore the original post to go on a "Islamist-o-nazi-o-fascist . . ." rant. :roll:


But yes, like you say speculate away.

OK, just ignore the blatantly obvious.:rofl
 
What utter pile-o-pish. Look at all the dogy countries that the U.S, the E.U do oil business with. Many of them are human rights abusers, tinpot dictators etc. It makes no sense whatsoever to invade a country, when all any U.S administration had to do was play nice with Saddam, suddenly the oil comes in. The world does business with the Saudis, yet nobody invades the corrupt Hause Of Saud, even though it would make massive 'real politik' sense to invade and control such massive supplies. Iraq has oil, but its reserves will never ever pay for the war.....

Considering that America gets oil from Mexico, Canada, and many other non-M.E sources, the whole argument that the invasion is about oil is in reality completley non-logical...

So how about you 'oil conspirators' posts some facts about Iraqs known oil supplies, what type of oil it is, its value, and importantly how much the war has cost the U.S and the U.K. So lets see the numbers before we keep uttering the same 'oil conspiracy' mantra.

What they get that is different from exporting from Mexico, Canada etc. is the control of the oil . . . that, and a chance to show massive force, and a good position for any future wars.

that the invasion is about oil is in reality completley non-logical...

The other reasons for going to war turned out to be false, so . . .

You're wrong, Makhno. Accept this truth and move on.
 
Are you guys telling me that an Administration full of oil tycoons didn't think about oil when they considered Iraq. I personally believe oil was ONE of the reasons, the other was a Project of a New American Century.
 
The real story of the oil in question is that it was being stolen, by France, Germany and Russia, under "oil for food" for about eight years. Then, the U.S. invaded, and the oil of Iraq finally began to purchase infrastructure for Iraq.

So the real story about the oil is, the thieves (France Germany and Russia,), with help from Canada {see who Canada's PM Chretien's child is married to}, tried to cockblock us at the U.N. to keep their thieving going, but we went in anyway.

Erm, no . . . not really

So, you're saying it wasn't for oil . . . while, at the same time being unable to suggest a legitimate, alternative . . . :spin:

How about Saddam wanted to kill Bush SR? Is that a reason?

Tell me how much Iraq oil has made it to the US? How much is being pumped now? What’s the pre war numbers? Show me the proof to back up your claim..

Can you disprove anything Australianlibertarian said?

Do you care to answer the rest of the post?

The last time I checked the Iraqi government had control of their oil not the US. The chance to "show force" is nothing but bullchit!
I do believe the first gulf showed the world that.

I believe it is true, however, that before the invasion, Iraq was dealing with European nations for its oil business, cutting US companies out of the pie. Guess whose getting the contracts now?

Saddam was installed by the US government back in the 1960s when they overtrew the current government there.

You are brainwashed too.. Just because you dont support a stupid war doesnt mean you are "against us" or support terrorism, regardless of what Bush propaganda says.

I agree.. Second that.. I like you, you see the truth.

Thanks.

(Ps. For what I have read of you opinions on the forum)
