If we just wanted the OIL, we would have never left those guys alive on the old Basra Road in the first Gulf War. We could easily have eliminated them, AND Saddam...established ourselves in Iraq and cleaned house for good and all...the OIL was ours for the taking IF THAT’S ALL WE WANTED!

But no, our ‘humanity’ and enough PC to choke the whole stable spared them AND their OIL. Some of our other coalition partners (many Muslims) were not asked or expected to march into a brother Muslim’s country and cry victory... even though we defeated those clowns in detail. Instead, do you think that the US was commended in any way or to any degree for such a noble and unselfish conclusion of hostilities??? F%$# NO! Not then or since has the US received ANY consideration for our generosity to the defeated Iraqis. They said we only wanted the OIL then and they have said it EVER SINCE!!! Can anything be MORE preposterous???? I think of that every time I go to buy gas.

Up until a short time ago, the Iraquis did think it was true what the American papers were saying about us going to war for oil. Then, recently, the tribal leaders (can’t spell sheiks) concluded that we really didn’t go to war for oil, and that is when they began to fight on our side. Thanks to the leftists is this country, the tribes were fighting us for a time. Was this the dems’ plan? Just like their latest desperate attempt to turn Turkey against us so we lose the war!
