just had to post in this one. might be opening myself up for ragemporium.

people keep saying oil, oil, oil. i've spent 2 years and some change in Iraq during different parts of the "occupation" and i never once saw any kind of oil infrastructure being built. i've met hundreds of civilian contractors at all levels. plumbers, electricians, field sanitation experts, commo guys, network experts, medical guys, logistics, pilots... -the list goes on and on. the only person i've never met was anyone who had anything to do with oil infrastructure. spent time in bagdhad, tikrit, mozul, kirkuk, and al asad. never met a single person with any kind of oil-related job.


Verily, I have often laughed at weaklings who thought themselves proud because they had no claws.

Theoretically the oil access would be in the form of a diplomatically beneficial Iraqi puppet government, and not directly accessed by the US..rather, sold to us cheaply by the friendly government we helped install.

Which is utterly retarded in my opinion. Oil is bought and sold on a global market, it's not like Iraq oil is cheaper than Canada oil or Mexico oil...it's a global market.

And what happens if said oil never makes it to the market in the first place and goes through US pipelines instead?

I'd ask, "Does America have oil pipelines in Iraq? If so, does that mean America is entitled to the contents or did we simply build a pipeline for the Iraqi people?"
