So, where’s the oil?

[rockabyebaby]

Oil? Oil? We don’t need no steeeeeennnking oil.....

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Yep, I wish it would hurry up and get here...

“Saddam (Hussein) was a very bad dictator, but he was not a religious dictator,” he said Sunday. “He fought against religious leaders in Iran, and that was an excuse (for the Americans) to go to Iraq. It doesn’t make sense.”

Neither does any of what Chretien says...what the heck is he talking about? He wasn't a religious dictator so he was OK? What oil have we taken from Iraq?

[SolidWood]

Saddam (Hussein) was a very bad dictator, but he was not a religious dictator,” he said Sunday.

Which again makes him a good dictator? What's his point? Stalin, Hitler and Mao weren't religious either. Maybe he wants to imply that religious people are worse. That's the gist.

“He fought against religious leaders in Iran, and that was an excuse (for the Americans) to go to Iraq.

Huh? Was it our "excuse" to go to Iraq, that he fought religious leaders in Iran!?

It doesn’t make sense.

I fully agree Monsieur Cretin. You don't make sense.

If we wanted to take over a country for oil, there's one a lot closer and we don't have to worry about 130° temperatures in its summer.

[Unam Sanctam]

Why does Iraq sell the oil on the world market for market prices? If we invaded to take oil, why aren’t we taking it? This makes no sense whatsoever.

“”There are some people who suspect it was oil, for the control of oil. . . ,”””

Hilarious, coming from the guy whose daughter is married into the Desmarais family.

[Mr Inviso]

And we give this frozen semi-frog relevance why? He needs to get ack to his corrupt little liberal swamp where he belongs.

“Saddam (Hussein) was a very bad dictator, but he was not a religious dictator,”

Oh, then that's alright then...

[weegee]

Then we didn’t win the war because we didn’t get their oil.

Funny how the 1991 Gulf War was over oil too. Namely Saddam invaded Kuwait to take their oil.

Why didn’t the “no blood for oil” crowd denounce Saddam spilling blood for oil?

[Allegra]

“Saddam (Hussein) was a very bad dictator, but he was not a religious dictator,” he said Sunday.

“He fought against religious leaders in Iran, and that was an excuse (for the Americans) to go to Iraq. It doesn’t make sense.”

Chretien must be smoking some of that real expensive crack. The high-quality stuff.

[VeniVidiVici]

Cretin’s an idiot. It it was about oil it would have been easier to invade Canada and take theirs.

[avacado]

Saddam never once honored the surrender agreement. END OF STORY.

[50sDad]

Dear God, I wish just once we actually were the venal, cruel despots the Left wants us to be. We would have been pumping the damn Iraqi fields bone dry since Day One as repayment for the trillions we spent and the lives lost. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Instead I get to watch our brave warriors get attacked by pipsqueaks like this.

If this WERE for oil, moron, we'd be paying $20 a gallon for it. If it all were for oil, we just would have kept Kuwait when we had a bazillion tanks in it fifteen years ago.

[colorado tanker]

Too stupid for words.

Oil is a fungible commodity. So long as Iraq's oil is getting to market, which it was under Saddam (after lining a few corrupt pockets), it doesn't matter who actually bought it. The net effect on the market and on supply is the same whether we buy it or the French do.

Another lefty economic illiterate.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Remember who he is...

[goldstategop]

Sure it was, Jean. It was just for the oil. How stupid does a guy have to be to be Prime Minister Of Canada?

[hsalaw]

Who cares what he thinks? Never mind the fact he’s obviously wrong - if we invaded for oil, where the heck is it?
