U.S. is protecting its interests

There seems to be a question as to whether the United States went into Iraq in order to bring democracy to the heathen or whether we were after their oil. Well, I don’t know if this will shed any light on the matter, but before the war was half over Halliburton Co. and another company were trying to get in on those lush oil contracts in Iraq. They all had friends in the White House, of course. We had already stolen more than $1 billion of the Iraqis’ money in the banking system, so why not oil too?

Also, most of the countries that have oil to sell have governments that are friendly to us. But the people being ruled by these same governments hate the United States and Israel, too. So it does not take a big stretch of the imagination to think that our government, by taking over Iraq’s oil, was making sure that in case these oil-rich governments were toppled from below, Israel and we would still have an assured supply of oil. In other words, no oil embargo would be fatal to us!

So, by our controlling the Saudi oil and Iraq’s oil we are twice as powerful, self-preservation being the first law of nature. Our strong military presence in the middle of the largest oil reserves in the world will not go unnoticed and the super power has become a super-super power!
