Iraq

I didn't say you were patronising me! I said my intention was not to patronise you (re-read my post)!

I bet even George Bush doesn't actually believe that the rest of the world will just stand by and let the US strip Iraq of its natural resources.

They don't have to as long as the oil leaves Iraq, America are happy.

After Saudi Arabia, Iraq has the largest oil reserves in the world, yet America is the biggest oil consumer (who's resevres a mere 5% of the worlds are tiny and rapidly running out). As we draw nearer and nearer to a golobal oil shortage (they predict in 3 years we'll see a noticable rise in prices and within 15 years luxuries like cheap package holidays may not be that accessable) america need to do something.

Saudi Arabia control middlern eastern oil production (they are the largest producers) and supply america with the majority of their oil - however the stable relations that existed pre-911 no longer exist as eastern/western relations deminish, America need a secure and stable supply of oil, as UN had imposed sanctions on Iraq (which is why they wanted rid of the Sadam Regime), with American reserves so low and with Saudi/US relations worsening a secure source of oil was needed for the american economy.

Now Iraq has been invaded and the Sadam Regime removed, it doesn't much matter who gets the oil rights, be it France and Russia like before, Britain, Estonia or America - as long as there is oil leaving the middle east, the yanks are happy.

However they would prefer control - but thats stating the obvious

I don't believe I've said- welcome to the board

Nice to have someone with a little intelligence here

a fellow leftie

True they have'nt found anything yet but i'm pretty sure they will IMO. What i find scary is the fact that we went against NATO, which basically says we don't need you and your help!!!!

So what will happen in years to come, when we don't agree on something again will we just go our own way:spangled: and do what we think is right!!

it is impossible to know what is fact or fiction.
whatever info about the whole situation has reached us will have soooo much spin on it, that there is no point believing it...
thats why i cant be arsed to read of war related stuff, or form an opinion...
if any1 thinks they know the facts, they are very wrong. as if the governments would let the public know any real facts about whats going on...!
the only person who really knows the score is bush....

We would have been better off spending the money that was spent on the war on investing in renewable generation and fuel cell technologies. It's the only way forward!

Too true, yet even in england pesky old women complain about their view being ruined if wind farms are built... bloody pain in the arse.

Rvel Bush doesn't know he merely does as he's told

Just out of curiosity why did we go to war in Sierra Leone & Kosov?

was'nt it oil





























hang on they don't have any oil!!

Re: Iraq

It just goes to show that this country is bieng run by a Lying Texan who really is saying any old shit to blair to make him tag along and is there for dragging us down to US morral levels.




Labour just seems like a puppet goverment.
And Bush has his hand up Blairs arse!

Re: Re: Iraq

Well IMO bush is an alcholic, and should'nt it be blair has his hand up bushs arse!!

Yes. Oil is the most valuable resource in the world, America is the worlds largest consumer of it. Makes sense I think.

The worrying thing I feel is that by going against the UN and doing the whole 'vigilante policemen of the world thing' Britain and America have not only damaged future relations with the West but with the rest of Europe, not good crack.

This war was definately about oil IMO, there are far more dangerous and repressed nations than Iraq and (as of yet) they still remain untouched by the Western World to thrive in thier brutality. North Korea anyone?

North Korea aint an issue any more, i thought the yanks had paid them a couple of billion are summit to disarm!!

Re: Re: Re: Iraq

:spangled: :spangled: :spangled:

No why would it be that?????????

I'll explain:

Labour=Puppet Goverment.
Blair=Leader of Puppet Government
Bush Telling Blair what to do (i.e. Puppet Master)
Puppet master works puppet by sticking hand up puppets arse.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Iraq

Yes, but I would still say thier citizens are being ruled by one of the most evil regimes in the world regardless of how many weapons of mass destruction they have. Cant see anyone rushing to 'liberate' them though, wonder why??

well they have the 4th biggest army in the world!!

I think its more to do with the fact they have nothing valuable, like oil for example...

In theory comminuism (sp) works
