I'll call him on my cell tomorrow for you.

Oh common Q5echo. I know you weren't born yesterday. I'm not accusing the US of "stealing" oil, whatever that means. I'm accusing them of using force for the purpose of controlling oil reserves for vested interests. Those interests are economic in the form of providing US oil firms with new territory to conquer, to continue maintaining Iraqi oil currency in dollars rather than Euros, to insure that the "oil weapon" of Arab states be never used against them as it was in 1973 by king Faisal, and to ensure economic leverage over other states that threaten US interests such as China, France and Russia. Those interests are also geo-political in nature, whether it be for political hegemony or stabilization reasons. I really hope I don't actually have to delve into this any deeper as I'm sure you're not as naive as you're souding right now.

The problem is that nobody believes this. They believe you're there for other reasons, and rightfully so.
| quote: | | thats what we do. and when we choose to do it, we've never failed. |
You've failed miserably in Vietnam, and the situation in Iraq is not looking very rosy right now.
Anyway, it seems you believe your own convictions, which is fine by me. I said what I had to say, so let's just leave it at that. We'll agree to disagree.
