William, you are mixing things. I didn't talk about the 90's conflict, you made references to the Iraq vs Iran war, and I simply pointed who gave military aid to Iraq then and also ask you if you think the US would invade Iraq if the didn't have oil reserves. If you can, could you please kindly answer my questions?

Now as for your question, most of the oil fields in Iraq now are operated by American or British companies.

US is there to guarantee their oil supply one way or the other.


>>And what Country gave military support to Iraq when they were fighting against Iran?
>>Being fair, do you think the US would invade Iraq if they didn't have those huge oil reserves?

>The US threw Iraq out of Kuwait and left Iraq within weeks. How much oil did we take? Please be specific.
>
>Iraq spent a decade violating ceasefire conditions before the US went in again.
>
>Iraq owns the oil.

>Be specific - tell me how the US is only in there for the oil.

>I'm listening.

>>And please don't miss understand me, I'm not anti American

>>>You mean the war against the country that had used weapons of mass destruction in the 1980s against Iran and their own people, had invaded Kuwait and looted the entire country, and played hide the weapons for a decade while violating UN sanctions and costing the US how many billion $/year trying to keep them in check and enforce the UN sanctions (Enforce and UN in the same sentence - how ironic). The country whose leader after being captured let out that he was in fact trying to keep the rest of the world thinking he still had WMD capability in order to keep them at bay? The country that must have magically used every last nerve gas and mustard gas weapon against the kurds and never held any in reserve or rebuilt the stockpile? The country that has enough desert to bury Kuwait in where nobody could find it? That one?

>>>Yeah - we should have walked off and lt the UN take care of things like they are with North Korea, Somalia, Sudan - like they did with the Balkins. Yeah - that's the ticket. I'd feel safer then.
