OK cough up a 150 grand for each one a year and maybe we will talk
If they handed us the oil contracts instead of handing them out to those GD foreigners (aka China, france etc) who stood by the sidelines while we duked it out with terrorists in Iraq..
It’s costing more American lives than we can give. Enuff.
Oh Yeah? That right? When? And what will they offer in exchange?
Simple, show us the money!
We knew this a year ago.
Considering they just voted not to increase oil production at the OPEC conference - despite our wishes - we shouldn’t feel compelled to vote millions of dollars and precious American lives to garrison their country any longer. The job is done.
our job is done here. well done, soldier.
Funny, how the liberals decry us as occupiers when Bush was in charge and now we’re the good guys.
Here's what I have for ya...
My son went thru 3 tours liberating you from a demonic a$$hole. He survived 4 IED/EFP blast's. And I went through all the worry and phone calls to free your dumba$$ from the 7th century.
If the military would have let me go, I would have been there too.
You people need to stand up for yourself now, and take advantage of what the American soldier gave you!
Hell we know that. No one ever wants to get off the US dole. Sorry, but we can't afford it.
Bring them home from Europe as well.
Iraq just kicked US Congressman Rohrabacher out for bringing up payment for services to Iraq. Ref ... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2733291/posts
It’s a quagmire. When will we have an exit strategy?/sarc
Let’s start getting some lucrative oil contracts and I’m on board.
Iraq is a very important frontline against terrorist sponsoring Iran and Syria, with possible access to airports for large movements of troops for a possible war. It is also assumed to be second largest oil exporting country in the coming years, if not first, and is very important for the US economy. In political terms, it will also be the frontline to challenge dictatorship and spread democracy within the region, as one of the solutions to weaken potential enemieis of US and Israel. I believe isolationism and anti-war is a liberal ideology, and is alien from conservative ideas. Let us have bases in Iraq to gain access anytime to crush Iran and Syria supporting Islamism and Al Qaida, and spread democracy throughout the Middle East to pacify the region, which would also protect access of energy exports of the region. Iraq is always vulnerable to fall under the hands of Iran, which will give free access to Syria on ground, and flood Israel with full of terrorists.
