Summary: Oil is essential to the operation of our economy. Without it we will starve. It is that simple. Therefore when the libs say “No War for Oil” and others deny that the Iraq war was not for oil……I respond with ” IT BETTER DAMN WELL HAVE BEEN FOR THE OIL”
The only difference I would have with the “War for Oil” would be as follows: We did not want to steal the oil. We want to be able to buy the oil but not from Saddamn. There were sanctions in place to attempt to prevent Saddamn from selling the oil but there was no way to practically prevent this. Sitting in your living room its easy to wave your hands and say we had sanctions in place. Its another thing to actually prevent the sales of oil in what is an extremely large world with an extremely important commodity. Remember its nickname is Black Gold. When it comes to money and sex there is no stopping the schtuping. Therefore one of the reasons we went to war is because the market needed more sources of oil. The Iraqis still get to sell it. The world just doesn’t have the option of buying it from Saddamn.
