    The Bush administration never said the oil would pay for our costs of the war. They said it would help Iraq pay for their country's reconstruction. But, Iraq is an OPEC country. We get oil from them:

    US petroleum imports - Top five countries (2014)
    Canada 3.39 (37%)
    Saudi Arabia 1.17 (13%)
    Mexico 0.84 (9%)
    Venezuela 0.79 (9%)
    Iraq 0.37 (4%)

    It shouldn't be a contract they can back out of....forcefully take it if need be.

    Who is spratley? All the islands in South China Sea are ofcourse Chinese. Wanna bet?

    Remember when Nixon and Heinz Alfred 'Henry' Kissinger complaining that Chinese cannot emigrate. Mao said: How many You want, one million, ten million, hundred million... Total silence on US side :biggrin:

    Well, all I can add to this is to get ready for another war.

    That's what happens when nation's can't settle their differences and play like adults - or just get greedy because they can't or don't want to share something.

    Power and control issues seem to always be working overtime and behind the scenes.

    Will we ever learn?

    Revenues from oil did play a part in this matrix. Rove and his ilk are still trying to re-write history and what was implied.

    To say revenues from Iraqi Oil were ONLY to be used for their reconstruction is not really stating/admitting to all the other variables in this matrix.

    Sometimes I think we ought to have not gone to war in Iraq in the manner in which we did.

    Hopefully, we have learned some valuable lessons from this.

    Davy we have a Guy here in the Barangay who is married to the Captains Niece who is at it as well. Every night Off they Go 3 pickups Loaded to the Hilt to Hit markets where ever. Tuesdays seem to be the day when a Large Wagon Drops Off bales at the Back of his Place and then the next couple of days he has 8 or 9 people in Sorting and washing etc. You Don't need to be a Brain Surgeon, to see what is going On.:facepalm:
    I wrote here last year about a certain brand of Short Pants that came from a Particular Company in Kent (England) that sent Seconds for the Yolander Donations. ( this came from a Friends wife that works there.)
    You just Don't get 5 or 6 pairs all the Same in UK UK shops and this one was right in the Middle of Town which is now an IT Parlour.
    This will never Stop Until some one in Authority starts to shout But............................:unsure:

    I don't think we should have went into Iraq at all. Saddam was a massive wanker but he did us a favor with keeping Syria and Iran in check.
