10 Years Ago We Went To War For Oil

outsider?? hahahahaahahahahaha.

 

The Enviros are controlled by the oil companies. Nature is a pretty sight only to those sitting pretty; the Treehuggers are children of the rich who are completely driven by class solidarity and don't have minds of their own. Banning production creates shortages and drives up profits. The oil companies will stop the opening up of our resources for that reason. What you are seeing is a faked conflict between Heirheads who are only pretending to be Liberals and Conservatives. Follow the money, especially if it is Daddy's Money.

 

The "support our troops!" mantra arose from the fact that the fake Leftists who ran the 60s' anti-war movement were really rich kids who hated working-class kids and wanted to portray them as baby-killers. That snob mob definitely did not support the troops.

 

The Bushes' inaction reveals the Right Wing origin of Environmentalism. If the GOPers had been what they pretended to be, they not only would have opened up drilling in 100% of our territory, but would have repealed that pseudoscientific Endangered (=unfit) Species Act.

 

You mean Sperm Bingo? Greenheads are Heirheads who just want to deprive the majority of high-paying jobs and low-priced products. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is typical. Do you think a spoiled grandson of a Wall Street bandit is really on side of "the people"? We need a little guillotine party for all of them, whether they pretend to be Liberals or Conservatives.

 

well, Charlie manson is still inside but if you contact him, he may be able to put you in touch with a party that might suit your needs

 

Why do people on the left think every war is about oil?

 

they don't. America went to war in Guatemala once for bananas!! an equal opportunity resource thief!!

 

There's no contradiction in that. Our Texxon government wanted to seize the oil to get a firmer grip on supply and drive up prices. It is well known that the diamond cartel does that; so do all other Capitaliban cliques. Gas prices were low when Reagan and Clinton let Saddam produce over his OPEC quotas.

 

Fake leftists? Are they like posers? Why would they say 'support our troops' if they were against our troops? I'm sorry, this seems like an interesting factoid but I'm not understanding.

 

Sorry to hear that you hate your Daddy for not getting rich and spoiling you, which led you into becoming road kill for Limousine Liberals, Cadillac Conservatives, Rolls-Royce Radicals, or Ferrari Fascists. But someone who no longer has an infantile fixation on his father would say that if we have to get ahead on our own, so do the children of the rich. Or they must die.

 

those goalposts getting heavy, pal??

 

Frankly, oil is worth going to war for. Cutting off the supply of oil to the U.S. would have catastrophic consequences on our infrastructure and ultimately every American citizen. Too bad we don't fight the enemy within first though.

 

So where's the spoils of war, where is our oil? Why did we give it all to the Iraqi people?

 

Well maybe the usa shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. There are many ways to convert energy into forward momentum, the feds and oil companies just don't want to let that technology and those markets expand. Air, water, natural gas, solar, electric are all technologies that could be refined just as the combustion engine has.

Go watch a movie called, who killed the electric car? For starters.

Among other things. Oil was a reason but it was also to fund the technology of the military industrial complex. Today the feds use "terrorism" as an excuse to do that.

 

no one was cutting off Americas oil. America was buying saddams oil all along. America went to war to give bush/cheney's pals an opportunity to get in on the PRODUCTION of iraqi oil. and tens of thousand shad to die for it!

 

The "support our troops" mantra came as an answer to the snob Leftists opposing the Vietnam War. The Chickenhawks' germ of truth is that the preppie peaceniks openly hated the troops and were not really anti-war so much as against the working-class troops who got sent to Vietnam. Now, if you want to say that Gold Star Mother Cindy Sheehan's crowd chanted "support our troops" too, she lost all credibility about really believing that when she listed all our wars as atrocities, especially with her opposition to Hiroshima, which saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of GIs. It's easy to get confused if you take the puppet show in the media as representing acceptable opinion.

This "We Republicans support our troops" as a believable answer to those challenging the Chickenhawk Commander in Chief cost John Kerry the election. All the flagwaving draftdodgers had to do was show how Kerry came back from Vietnam and betrayed his own men by exclusively concentrating on pointing out atrocities. The lower-class GOPer veterans could then say about Bush, "He didn't protest. He didn't call us names. So having his Daddy get him out of fighting is all right with me." The truth is nobody political supports the troops, or else neither Clinton nor Bush would ever been able to get elected to anything. We might as well engrave on the Vietnam War Memorial:

PROUD TO DIE TAKING A RICH KID'S PLACE

 

Try reading the thread.

 

Thanks for the explanation!

 

Curtis lemay disagrees with you

 

Iraq is producing more oil now than before Saddam. Most of the oil contracts went to non-American companies in the past. The oil fields have been a sparring ground between Russian and the U.S. of late however as Iraq ramps up its oil production. Iraq also benefits in revenue due to an expanded market.

 

how interesting

 

No problem....It rather proves you dead wrong though.

 

bs. it does. America wanted access to drilling rights in Iraq and they went to war to get them.

 

Ya you keep saying that....I don't see any proof.
