Hey, genius, considering that Baghdad lies right smack in the middle of the Persian Gulf region that contains 70% of the World's know oil reserves, how well do you think that the U.S. economy and the U.S. itself will do if the U.S. hands over military control of that region and 70% of the World's know oil reserves over to Iranian Islamist suicide-martyr nutjobs seeking nuclear weapons and the ICBM's to deliver them to the metropolitan area nearest you? ....

There’s a lot more oil in the world.
Hey, genius, did you ever take simple arithmetic in grade school?
Do the concepts behind such terms as "two thirds" and "70%" mean anything to you?
Does your brain comprehend that, if two thirds of the World's know oil reserves are in the Persian gulf region, the one third that is left includes the oil militarily controlled by such wonderful friends of America such as Putin's Russia and Hugo Chavez's Columbia?
Does your brain comprehend that the oil that would not be controlled by America's enemies, such as North Sea oil and even Alaska North Slope oil, would not be nearly enough to supply the oil consumption of the Free World consisting of the U.S., Europe and Japan?
Are you not old enough or educated enough to remember or know what devastating effect the cutoff of Persian Gulf oil had on the U.S. economy in 1973?
How’s the US economy looking right now? How much did you pay for gas today?
Are you so ignorant of reality and of History to realize that, by putting 70% of the World's known oil reserves into the hands of America's most bitter enemies, THERE WOULD BE NO "US ECONOMY" and that you would be lucky to able to get a gas tank full of gas at ANY PRICE?
Would it be that much safer to leave it in the hands of the Iraqis?
Leave the 70% of the World's known oil reserves and America's future viability solely in the hands of the Iraqis of today and let them hold the fort without our military help?
Are you NUTS?
Have you learned NOTHING from History?
Those same nutjobs will get nukes to the metropolitan U.S. sooner or later, if they haven’t already.
Earth to, Genius!
Earth to, Genius!
Does the term "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile" mean anything to you?
You do realize that, with a push of a button, a country armed with ICBM's can annihilate tens of millions of Americans, don't you?
You do realize that, with countries such as the USSR or Red China, the strategy of Mutaually Assured Destruction worked well because those atheist countries had no wish to die, don't you?
You do realize that, in the religious belief of the Isamic nutjob Iranian mullahs, being destroyed themselves to the very last mulah gains them a guaranteed Eternity in Paradise as long as they manage to destroy as much of "Satan Incarnate" aka the United States of America as they can before they die, don't you?
Saddam Hussein once was heavily invested is acqiring ICBM's and nuclear weapons and Saddam Hussein is now worm food because America decided that he would not be allowed to get to that point.
Iran is no different.
The only way that Iran will ever be able to destroy America is if enough American voters are as idiotically stupid as to take the asisnine and suicidal attitude:
" .... nutjobs will get nukes to the metropolitan U.S. sooner or later .... "
Your genius deserves a medal.
