"BLOOD FOR OIL" remember that FAKE news story. I still ain't seen none of that oil

[Bigdog]

Again - it's about controlling the region, not the actual oil contracts.

I wish people understood this better.

We have about as much control over the middleeast as you do over your own farts.

A convenient meme? ... It was a fake news story for six years that asserted Bush was stealing all of Iraq's oil.

Almost as fake as the whole "Obama is going to take away all our guns" nonsense spewed incessantly by Fox News and websites specializing in fake news.

And where's my oil pipeline through Afghanistan? Another broken State media promise.

Bush invaded Iraq because he was a puppet of Wolfowitz, Cheney and Rumsfeld. An idiot. But he's a genius compared to Trump.

Kicked your ass....what's that make you?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

You guys will never get it.

If there was no oil in the Mideast, it would be like Central Africa to the neocons. It would hardly be on their radar.

It's about oil.

were we there to steal it, Thingie?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

You may see it yet. Your messiah says it's okay, to hell with legality.

"I’ve always said -- shouldn’t be there, but if we’re going to get out, take the oil," Trump told moderator Matt Lauer at NBC’s Commander-in-Chief Forum on Sept. 7, 2016. "If we would have taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS, because ISIS formed with the power and the wealth of that oil."

When Lauer pressed Trump on how he would have accomplished this, Trump said the United States would have to "leave a certain group behind and you would take various sections where they have the oil. … You know, it used to be to the victor belong the spoils. Now, there was no victor there, believe me. There was no victor. But I always said: Take the oil."

Trump has publicly offered this idea numerous times. Here are just a few examples:

• "ISIS is taking over a lot of the oil and certain areas of Iraq. And I said you take away their wealth, that you go and knock the hell out of the oil, take back the oil. We take over the oil, which we should have done in the first place." Meet the Press, Aug. 16, 2015
• "I told you very early on, if we're going to leave, take the oil, because, right now, you know who has the oil." CNN’s State of the Union, Oct. 25, 2015
• "I have long said that we should have kept the oil in Iraq." Foreign policy speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Aug. 15, 2016

Chrispy doubles down on the lie...

 

[PostmodernProphet]

He fucked up two wars simultaneously.

Obama added Libya, Syria and ????

And yet, he captured Saddam Hussein and brought him to justice ... which everyone thought was impossible.

He did?
LMFAO

 

[Rune]

It was regime change in order introduce democracy and thereby reduce the threat of Islamic terrorism. Oil factored into it, but we wouldn't have invaded Iraq just for oil...that's left fringe stuff.

If that was the plan (which it wasn't you lying shitstain) how did that work out?

Lying retard asshole

You still haven't learned how to manage farting?
Explains a lot.

 

[Rune]

much too simplistic..it's like telling me our only interests in the middle east is oil

Why the fuck else would we be there fruit loop?

I do just fine, thanks for asking. Maybe not as well as a fart management expert such as yourself, ... a graduate of Fart Tech with a PHD in Fartology.

Oil is the big one -but oil by itself doesn't drive every decision
