DislikedOk so how much Oil do you think the US is taking out of Iraq (between 2003 and now)? I do understand that there is a loose agreement in place between the factions in Iraq and the US saying that a certain percentage will be paid to the US as recognition for saving them from tyranny. However I do know first hand that those 'loose' agreements may not be met... Then what?
>>>>Iraq Prior to the American Invasion was a sovereign country!
The Folly of the General and UNINFORMED (American) PUBLIC, is based on Government Propaganda deception, that America's Divine Destiny is to SPREAD DEMOCRACY around the Globe.
Turkey is NOT THAT MUCH better than Iraq Treating the UNFAVORED GROUPS (Kurds) than Iraq was in it's prior existence.
I have NO IDEA of PERCENTAGES of oil splits!
BUT MARK THESE WORDS IN STONE!
"""AMERICA IS NOT GETTING OUT OF IRAQ IN YOUR LIFE TIME"""
Also I agree that a bourse through Iran to get to said Oil would be hugely beneficial, however don't you think that instead of attacking a sovereign nation (regardless on what you may personally think of Iran), it would be much easier and beneficial internationally to instead use allied countries close by in the region ie Kuwait (who in my own experiences love America more then most countries, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and finally Turkey)?
>>>>The remedies YOU DESCRIBE have been tried and HAVE FAILED! IRAN has remained steadfast! Once the OIL BOURSE in EURO basis GET GOING....You can Hang your FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES in Your TOILET, as they will be worth LESS THAN TOILET PAPER.
Also for the Oil to flow into the pockets of America, you need a stable infrastructure in place. At the present Bush is running out of time. With troop drawdowns about to begin, dont you think that insurgent factions in Iraq would rather just wait until they leave to try to gain their own little slice of the pie.
>>> Like I said If you think AMERICA is GETTING OUT OF IRAQ,
You are Pipe Dreaming!
do your research!
Permanent Military bases are being constructed as we speak!
As well you must remember that it was not only America that 'liberated' (and I use that term loosely) but most western countries, Britain, Australia, Italy amongst 40 odd others who contributed in one way or another. Now if it was found that only America benefited from the oil, what do you think these others would have to say...
>>>OH Yes the Coalition of the willing!
Do yourself a favor and Check up on the ACTUAL NUMBER of TROOP deployment form the 40 ODD countries of the Coalition!
AND DO PLEASE POST THE NUMBER HERE for REFERENCE!
Also in regards to the reconstruction of Iraq and the infrastructure, now I dont dispute that iraq is sitting on potentially the most lucrative amount of oil left in the world, but I dont think that is has the capablilities to drill, refine and then ship this oil onto the open market.
>>>Man Get REAL!
MONEY (OIL) talks and ........everybody else walks!
If so then why for the last four years have there been 100 truck convoy's coming from Kuwait into iraq with oil and refined petroleum products.
>>>> You do not suppose that might have something to do with INSURGENT ACTIVITY?
Like If I can NOT HAVE IT ...Neither CAN YOU??
I think to say that the ONLY reason Bush went into Iraq is a little bit naive. Remember he wasnt alone, and really I think he is running out of time to get the oil out.Ignored
And in Your case ...You need only look in the Mirror!
