To pay us back for invasion cost (at $2T that's a lot of oil). Plan involved sending in chevron and surrounding them with US troops.

I was immediately reminded of this Gieco ad. LOL

Ok. Just wanted to make sure we had watched the same interview. So... No. That is not at all what he said. This you made up. He did not suggest that the oil should be taken to pay us back for the invasion cost and he never mentioned Chevron. Not once. What he said is "To the victor go the spoils" and that if we HAD taken the oil, it would have prevented the ability of ISIS to establish itself in Iraq as the terrorists now use this oil to fuel and fund their operations.

If you are going to post, at least post accurately. You post like a New York Times Reporter.

Paraphrase

Invasion cost us 1.5T we should take $1.5T of their oil. It's at very beginning of his incoherent rant.

he mentioned chevron in some other incoherent rant............

he said he wanted to take their oil. Plain as day

I have schooled you again.

Military analysts fact check Donald Trump on bombing oil fields - CNNPolitics.com

While Trump suggested that he would then send in Exxon or another oil company to quickly rebuild the infrastructure once the conflict is over, Francona and Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, another CNN military analyst, said rebuilding infrastructure is easier said than done -- especially when other surrounding infrastructure has been damaged in the process.

You haven't schooled me. You post was an example of senseless hyperbole. It was not true, what you wrote. You made it up.
