War for Oil?


It is pretty hard to argue that the United States went to war in Iraq to grab oil if the United States fails to get any oil out of the deal. Also, don't forget the price of oil has jumped considerably because of the conflict in Iraq.

And Iraq's big oil contracts go to ...

"Despite claims by some critics that the Bush administration invaded Iraq to take control of its oil, the first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq's new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia."

I thought you already knew... by awarding these oil contracts through a "puppet" government (which happens to tell us what we can and cannot do) to other nations we will create a big distraction.... in the meantime the troops will use their empty water bottles (because it's hot in Iraq) to collect and then ultimately smuggle out the oil and pour it into a secret reserve which Haliburton will magically tap into and make Dick Chaney billions of dollars.

NO MORE BLOOD FOR OIL!
I guess hippies will have to fall back on the "you are trying to Christianize the world" thing.

And if that doesn’t work out they can always resort to the continued support of the terrorists in Guantanamo Bay - you know, because they are innoicent (especially the one's we captured during fighting or with explosives and RPG's in their homes).
