Gulf I which included several oil rich nations, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and the current war in Iraq

Afganistan also holds oil, but more importantly it has long been discussed as a strategic conduit
to deliver oil to Afghani neighbors, via western controlled sources in the middle East.
What point of contention are you trying to illuminate?

Truth be told, the liberals want us to just have wind turbines and solar panels.
now I have just heard that OBama and the EPA has just levied the highest ever fine against the coal industry. Thus that is one promise I guess he is making good on, shutting down the coal mines.

Iraq is one nation, not two, and I missed the wars waged on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. We pushed Iraq out of Kuwait, true enough, but we didn't wage war on Kuwait, we waged it on Iraq because of Kuwait. Afghanistan is nothing like "oil rich", and Libya was started by something other than a neocon, unless you are perhaps claiming Obama to be a neocon? If you ARE making that claim, I'm OK with that - can't see much difference between what he does and what they do, and as they say actions speak louder than words.
TWO wars into oil rich nations
which TWO "oil rich nations"
Iraq is one nation, not two,

How would Sarah get the State to weigh in on abortion any more than it already has(by making it legal to kill your unborn)? Are you suggesting she would use the Presidency to overturn Roe V Wade? And if that were the case what ultimately would make that worse than the State already using Roe V Wade ?
Who is pushing the gay marriage agenda? Who marches every year in San Francisco? Who appointed Kevin Jennings as school safety czar ? Who opposed legislation which would have given at least some palliative care to babies who survived botched abortions? Who is promoting sex ed for kindergartners? The fact that you oppose Sarah's conservative values speaks volumes.
However, the only thing Sarah could even do from the Presidency is to appoint a conservative judge and looks like Obama already got first dibs on that. The only other thing would be to promote the repeal of Obamacare and stop federal funding of abortions, which is after all the right thing to do.edit on 5-9-2011 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

That is a huge misrepresentation if I ever saw one.
We were not at war with Saudi Arabia, and yet Osama was of Saudi nationality, and most of the 9-11 hijackers were of Saudi nationality. Iraq set the Kuwait oil fields ablaze. Iraq launched an invasion of Kuwait. They also were building up military power on the border of Iran. We seem to have saved Iran from Iraq. Do you ever research any of this or just go with your local communist party ideologues?
We were not at war with South Korea were we???

Do you want to get into the Korean and Viet Nam wars? Your assertion was originally about oil-rich nations, remember? So now is it just war in general to change the focus?
Reality check: Both the Viet Nam war and the Korean war were incursions by Communist China by proxy, and both the South Koreans and the South Viet Namese were on our side. But we know that the powers of the NWO kept those wars from ultimately being won.
If I didn't know better, Id' think you were bording on sounding anti American.

Did I ever say we bombed or attacked Saudi Arabia or Kuwait?
Did are troop stage from both nations?
Did we attack South Korea? Was South Korea involved in the Korean War?
Who paid for that again???
If it is anti American to question imperialist wars and incursions, so be it.
I suppose you hate the government, but can't stand the thought of others criticizing the same governments policies?
If I didn't know better I would were you are a Neoconservative who is obsessed with geopolitical
conquest and the righteousness of such...edit on 5-9-2011 by Janky Red because: (no reason given)

No, we did not attack S Korea. We fought with S Koreans against the Viet Cong. What part of that don't you get?

Again, I said

You Said
which TWO "oil rich nations"
Then you said AGAIN
Iraq is one nation, not two,
I can refer you back to a quote of my words
TWO wars into oil rich nations
The War, singular, involved Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, just like the Vietnam War involved China as a proxy to
the war. The cost of securing the region was funded by American Tax payer and ensured by the American
war machine. I am making the assertion that the entire war was waged on behalf of corporations to
secure corporate holdings and acquire new Oil reserves in the process. If you want to believe sending
a Million of American service men to Gulf was about saving one nation from invasion be my guest. I think it
is much more plausible to that presidents with big ties to Oil and Defense was looking after industry and
the strategic role the regional conflict threatened.
