Unfortunately for you, you'll never get to compare the loss of life in Iraq for the loss of life in, say, Chicago... after a nerve gas attack in the ventilation system of a high rise.

I hope that we are never again attacked by terrorists of any sort, but I have to tell you that looting Iraq's oil and getting rid of Saddam will do nothing to prevent such an attack. On the contrary, it may make the odds greater.

Hey, slimeball? This is a thread where people are awaiting information about possible dead family members. Please take your "war for oil" crackpottery and crawl over to that "libertarian" sinkhole where they keep scum like you.

Now get the f out of here.

I'm sorry, but that is IMHO a naive worldview. This war may be about several things, but it just simply isn't about Iraqi oil for the U.S. It just isn't. In fact, middle east oil in general is simply insignificant to the U.S. If you were making a point about Venezuela, you'd have a better point. We get vastly more oil from South America than the middle east.

Iraq is in contact with Al Queda operatives. You may not believe that just yet, but you will, one way or the other. Iraq has provided, and will provide more if not stopped, both expertise and materiel to terrorists bent on causing harm in the U.S.

I don't expect you to believe just me, at least not yet, but stay tuned. It will become irrefutable, one way or the other. I prefer the "one way".

4 soldiers just died
get off this thread and take your agenda on another thread. There are plenty of threads on this site for your debate. This isn't one of them.

It could even be the son of a poster.

NOW GET THE F&**K OUT OF HERE

Would you just please go away? This thread is about the loss of four brave patriots and your claims that it is all about oil are disgusting.

I am afraid these who just died are from my son's unit He just lost four buddies three weeks ago, and you are all over this thread trying to insert your political agenda. Just go away.
