[quote=Casca][quote=DataAgent]I was against the Iraq war from day 1 and was immediately christened as ‘unpatriotic’ by my Bush-loving peers. Prior to the Iraq war, I paid very little attention to politics at the national level.[/quote]

What would the world be like if Iran controlled half of the world’s oil supply? If they got their hands on the oil in Iraq, they would. We don’t dare let that happen, yet Obama may.[/quote]

First of all, maybe they should have thought of that before going in and destabalizing the region.

What would happen if Iran controlled Iraqs oil? The dollar would cease to be the reserve currency and the US empire could not fund it’s military or government because the petro dollar siphons off wealth of every country that has to buy oil. It was a great scam that is coming to an end. Obama is the transition team to Bushco’s lame attempt at keeping the failed empire going.

Back in 99 Cheney gave a speech on how the west was running out of oil and the only prospects were in the ME, and that they were “working vigorously to gain access” around the same time him and his PNAC cohorts wrote a paper saying, in their words, “A New Pearl Harbor” was needed to solidify the people in supporting an ME invasion. About a year later he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar looking over maps of Iraqi oil feilds in his secretive “Energy task Force” meetings just a few months before they got that “New Pearl harbor” they were publicly wishing for. What an ironic twist of fate, don’t ya think?

Now do you think him and his band of neo-con pranksters were really upset about getting what they wished for? Pretty convienient wasn’t it?

Unfortunately, we have NO left in this country because the have been bought off and corporatized or bullyed away.

We have the demo-corps and the psychopaths.

Now we get to watch the rise of the Christain Jihadists. Good thing we kept gitmo open.
