After talking about the condition of American airports, Trump said, “We spent 6 trillion dollars in the Middle East. We’ve got nothing. We never even kept even a little tiny oil well. I said, ‘Keep the oil.’”

Trump suggested that the oil proceeds could fund a major government infrastructure project. “We’ve spent 6 trillion dollars in the Middle East. We have nothing, and we have an obsolete plane system, obsolete airports, obsolete trains, we have bad roads. We’re going to change all of that folks. You’re going to be so happy with Trump. I think you already are.”

Trump claims to have been against the Iraq War from the beginning, but argues that once the U.S. went in, the military should’ve pillaged Iraq’s oil.

During Trump’s first speech to CIA agents last month, he said, “We should’ve kept the oil… maybe you’ll have another chance.”

This isn't the first the time, he said it repeatedly. Exxon mobil CEO becoming the secretary of state is only fitting. But hey, at least he acknowledges that the USA isn't so innnocent, a factual statement that apparently enrages the same media who won't discuss Trump's plans to steal other countries' natural resources. 

Go Trump. So much respect for this guy. What's not to like about him.

Watch Trump supporters call this liberal propaganda.

I'll never trust a US president until they stand up and eradicate the intervention of the middle east. Bush, obama, and now trump. Not surprised to see him kissing up to oil companies.


I'm also predicting a new terrorist group to form after Trump's future attacks on middle eastern countries.

If the American military try to take the oil by force, I hope that the Iraqi people will do whatever they can to get of the foreign aggressors.

Why report on mild Trump when there is more than enough hardcore Trump and his meme factory Spicer and Conway to cover.

If you care about the middle east blame Obama/Clinton/Bush who started one war after another - from Iraq to Syria.

The oil is currently funding ISIS, so keep it away from them is a good idea.

US taxpayers spent $60 billion in reconstruction grants to Iraq - the question if Iraq should pay back some of it is a valid one, even if there is no clear answer considering the legitimacy of the Iraq War.

To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country was broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship. That works out to about $15 million a day.
