It was all about Oil

Do you believe that U.S intervention in the Middle East, Asia and Europe is Oil motivated?

What weapons of mass destruction did the US and UK provide to Iraq?

The question should be directed to the UK and the U.S governments, not me. There were reports that Saddam used Chemical weapons against the Kurds, where did these weapons come from? Or was it a false report?

What country made up the bulk of military supplies to Iraq.


The Kalashnikovs and T-72 tanks give you a clue ?

Cite your sources for that claim, please.



Question: If the United States government was and remains so monstrously corrupt, cynical and ruthless, as you claim, why would they not have fabricated reports of finding Weapons of Mass Destruction and perhaps have planted evidence of such weaponry being found in order to maintain an airtight casus belli? I mean, might as well go all the way, right? Wouldn't that have been the FIRST thing that a bunch of evil war profiteers with half a brain have thought to do?

Just to reply to one of your points "why would they not have fabricated reports of finding Weapons of Mass Destruction and perhaps have planted evidence of such weaponry being found in order to maintain an airtight casus belli?"....the United States government did essentially this. Gordon Brown, former Deputy PM of the UK alluded to just that in his interviews, we all saw images taken from US intelligence agencies, shown by Powell to the world. These were satellite images which the US claimed were factories, plants, storage units for WMDs.

The US has done just what you think they did not, however, what you must remember is that the US and her allies, no matter how powerful are not kings of all they survey. There are whistle blowers, independent journalists, independent enquiries, eye witnesses and employees of the UN who were weapon inspectors as early as 1999 who stated that Iraq did not have a functioning air force, let alone WMDs. This eventually got out after 10+ years of killing innocent people in the name of American freedoms and democracy.

And what "polls and Twitter links" are you babbling about?

You don't write threads, but keep posting polls and Twitter links. You don't write threads express certain numbers of views that people can discuss with you. You are a prepaid propagandist, pay as you go.

Okay, let me play devil's advocate. How do you live? Do you drive a car? Do you use consumer goods that are transported by trucks?
Without oil, modern society would cease to exist. No more food coming in from other countries. Can you grow/raise your own food?
Without oil and natural gas, our society would go back to the 1800s. Can you live like they did back then? Are you willing to?

Like it or not, modern society is based on who has the money. If you say that your country should stop taking advantage of other countries,
you are volunteering your country to become a third world country. Sorry, that's just the way it is...

Are you talking seriously? You remind me of colonist powers justifying imperialism based on moral grounds, we are here to help the backwards became civilize. America doesn't need to whole Petroleum of the world to consume, lots of Oil and gas inside American territory. America uses it as a political tool.

The ones you are posting. Your posts in this forum genius. You don't bother to write threads because you got nothing to discuss with people. You have no views or opinions about any of the events going on in the world. Your brain size doesn't allow you to do it.

America is illegally in Syria for one reason

Take a guess-

I have to definitely reject this idea that Syria was always about oil. It ignores a number of different things and interests and is much too narrow-minded to the point that it oversimplifies a situation.

There are a number of overlapping interests with regards to Syria. On the US front, Syria is a major ally of Iran and friendly to the Palestinian cause. The US, in wanting to aid Israel and Saudi Arabia, while at the same time attempting to suck Iran in, funded terrorists in order to destabilize Syria. Initially the goal was to overthrow Bashar Al Assad, but as time went on and the chances of that decreased, they moved to just continuing the bloodletting as to suck up the resources of Syria, Iran, Hezbollah. These reasons are pretty similar for Saudi Arabia and Israel differs only slightly as it also has the Golan Heights coming into play as well.

Yet look at today, America is in Syria illegally just for oil!
