You're one seriously deluded person. Of course Iraq was about oil. This is very well understood. It's been US policy since the end of WWII to control the vast energy reserves of the Middle East. It gives the US critical leverage over it's industrial rivals. Nothing to do with oil prices! You think Exxon Mobil and Chevron and all the other western oil companies cry when oil price go up? You don't think think they have a say in US domestic and foreign policy? And the US a responsible power? Are you serious? Right under the noses of successive US administration who turned a blind eye in each case Israel and Pakistan became nuclear weapons states. Millions of people around the world were killed and tortured as a direct result of either direct US military involvement or military, economic and political support of the US for the most vile regimes on earth. |
Yes, it was about Oil, which is why the US isn't the biggest benificiary.
riiiight. You just seem to be blinded by your hate.
