It's Time For Liberals To Start Supporting America!

[JohnDoe]

Its all about the oil??? Oh my god, you dont really believe that pathetic bumper sticker mentality do you I mean, c'mon, you arent that stupid are you?

What is it about then LuvRP, in your words?

I personally believe that it was about Oil and Oil security in the region. It may NOT have been what the average American public was told by the administration, but it most certainly was about "shoring up" the region so that oil would flow out of it, to us, and perhaps a wee bit of thinking that this would make it safer for Israel too.

and by any means, I do not think that speculation of such is stupid, but maybe enlightened?

It is ALL about the oil Luv, especially now!!!

The Saudi Insurgents are involved because of power and oil, the Iranians are involved on the other side of the insurgence because of power and oil...the more havok that goes on in Iraq, the better it is for those 2 countries financially and we are still in Iraq to prevent them from getting control of the Iraqi oil.... It's about the oil....Luv, imho.

Yeah, much better for us rightwads just to let Bush ignore the Constitution and keep on sucking his dick.

It would be REALLY nice if someone would give Bush a blow-job so we could impeach him.

Because I know its NOT for the oil, doesnt mean I know the reason it is for. the reasons are many and complex.

I know its NOT about the oil because we could have simply cozied up to Saddam and have him export oil to us, easier and cheaper than what we have now.

After the 1991 war!? There was no way he'd "cozy up" to us at that point. How old are you, kid?

Let's see: you have no , you have no info about whether these barrels were actually imported FROM IRAQ directly or stopped off somewhere like Dubai, AND you still haven't told me how old you are.

Any more losers want to pretend the war had nothing to do with oil?

Go look it up yourself. Im not goonna do your homework. Whether it was imported direct from Iraq or not is irrelevant. If we were already getting the oil, directly or indirectly, we were still getting it, no need to oust him In fact, it would just disrupt the oil we were getting. Im 113 years old.

Cool avatar.

I'll tell ya, I voted for bush, and now, I regret it as one of the worst things I've ever done. He's a complete and utter jack ass, for getting us into this war, for aiding and abetting the mexican invasion, and for secretly pushing the bush globalist NAU/New World Order agenda. They ought to try the son of a bitch for treason.

Yeah, but the converse is true too. Attacking a President when he is right makes you a bad American.
