As for the 'sucking their oil bit' that's a myth - they do not produce hardly enough for their own consumption, and in fact the US government is
going to spend $57 Billion to help Iraq make its own oil again...
I'd have to agree with this statement. Im sure it would of been a lot cheaper for the US government to just purchase Iraqi oil.
They already have a number of bases weather raised by the American Military or purchased from foreign governments all around the Middle East, reaching
even Asia.
True there is oil pipe lines all over the Middle East and even more proposed oil pipelines to come in the future. But I dont think Iraq was for Oil,
as much as it is now a standing point.
Im fearful to say we're headed to war yet again, but this time I think its going to be Isreals fight. America just comes in and backs them till Iran
is in ruins, or vice versa.
