At last the true Gulf War motive emerges, thoughts?

I signed the petition,'Not In My Name', I protested with banners saying 'Don't go to war for Oil', I looked on in horror as I saw my countrymen bombing civilians. I wept when I saw the children with no arms and legs, victims of those bombs. I tried to find answers on the Internet, and then I discovered Peak Oil.

Suddenly the urgency for going to war instead of finding a diplomatic solution was clear. The world's supply of oil is, or is about to, decline. In 1999, Cheney told his boss Bush, that the Americans needed 50 billion extra barrels of oil per day by 2010 to keep the economy running. Where was that oil going to come from ? Iraq, of course. So no, this latest piece of information is not a surprise to me. I'd like to know who the $125 billion dollars in oil revenue that has been generated since the invasion has benefited.

The sooner we wean ourselves off oil and adopt an economic model that does not rely on constant growth, the better for us all.

What do you mean at last? Intelligent people realised that the oil was the only reason to be there in the first place?

the USA doesn't care about helping the Iraqi people

This is about as surprising as the sunrise every morning! George Bush was going to invade regardless of UN or world opinion. No matter how bad Sadam was this did not legitimise the American invasion. If the invasion was to deal with a tyrant how come the US hasn't invaded Mozambique to dispose of Mugabe? George Bush and Tony Blair should stand trial for crimes against humanity, illegal invasion of a sovereign state, the list goes on.

Iraq did attacked Israel with SCUD missiles throughout the 1991 Operation desolate tract typhoon with the intention to entice them into conflict so as that Arab international locations, who have been strongly anti-Israel at that factor and maximum of them are against Iraq, might sided with Iraq yet u.s. informed Israel to calm down as they promise to place in Patriot missiles into Israel for themselves to shelter. yet this grow to be no longer the reason of the 2003 invasion. And between the 1991 throughout the ceasefire treaty from the 1991 Gulf conflict and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Iraqi forces many times attacked Coalition planes patrolling no-fly zones and the violation of nineteen of the 22 sanctions placed on them to end the conflict THEY FREAKIN started in 1990.

The war has nothing to do with oil, Oil is just a spin off, the War, and it is actually World War three with several theatres of operation, Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe and homeland USA. Whilst the politicians are too scared to call it for what it is we are at War against the Islamic facist's they are todays Nazi's, If USA and Britain was not in Iraq, there would have been more attacks and atrocities against civilians in USA and UK, by being in Iraq, its a smart tactic to choose the ground instead of allowing your enemy to choose the ground. 3,000 US military casualities whilst not good at all would pale in comparison if it were 3,000 civilians slaughtered on US soil. We are in Iraq for several reasons, 1 remove Saddam, 2 fight the war on terror, the terrorists flock to Iraq instead of Europe and USA, pull out of Iraq and see what happens.................

This world is run by businesses. Everything you need to do and to live are connecting how well businesses going around you. It calls economy. People buy stuff and sale stuff to get economy going. Most have everything to do with dealing and agreement. If you don't believe in it, and settle with nothing and nothing happen in your life. That is calls Freedom. Thank God you still have that!!!

Many people has thought this since the war began. Governments should realise most of the public are not stupid like they seem to think.

The best definition of war Armed robbery by one Nation state on an other. SAY NO MORE.

I don't understand why you said 'at last'. Many opponenets of this war have suggested that oil was behind the invasion since the very begining.

The oil won`t last for ever.
