I guess it's safe to assume that our president doesn't go by the name 'Trendal' on The Shroomery BBS.

Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I believe the U.S. has a right to be concerned about its oil supply.
So...the oil in other sovereign countries belongs to the US?
No, no, no. You misunderstand me. The oil in these other countries does not belong to us, but it does constitute the oil that we get, so it could be termed our supply. Just like if all of Canada's oranges come from Florida, you could term Florida's oranges to be your supply.

What I want to know is: how does being "concerned" over your "supply" of something give you the right to forcefully obtain that "supply"?

That's not what I'm doing here, and I'm not going to argue that with you as I already know what your mind is on this subject
I was simply replying to randalflagg's post in which he said: "I believe the U.S. has a right to be concerned about its oil supply."
Now stop changing the subject.

First of all, I am not a Bush supporter. I am not a republican.
Second of all, show me factual evidence that is not tainted with bias (the article that you posted is) and I will be more open to hearing these ideas.
These are the reasons why I think the Iraq war happened:
1. Saddam was an embarrassment to us. He continually defied us(violating no-fly zones, shooting at our aircraft, etc..). He was a true symbol of defiance to the U.S., which gave him some support in the Middle East(not too much...but some). I think that one of the reasons we got rid of him was to save face and look like we weren't afraid to finish stuff.
2. To reduce our reliance on Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is run by an unpopular government, which its citizens hate. The U.S. keeps that government in power by giving them money and weapons. The Saudis in turn produce a lot of oil that we buy.
If we are able to get Iraq's oil fields flowing again, and have a friendly pro-American government in Iraq, we can get away from the Saudi government.
3. To get our troops out of Saudi Arabia. One of the main reasons that Muslims hate us is because we have troops in the Saudi Kingdom(which has the holiest Muslim sites). With Saddam gone we have an excuse to pull our troops out of there without looking like wimps.
4. To pressure Iran and Syria. They blatantly support Muslim terrorism groups and have done so for many years. With American troops on their borders, they may think twice about continuing to do so.
5. To try to pressure all non-democratic regimes in the Middle East to lean towards democracy. Not one Arab government in the Middle East is democratic, and this pisses off most Arab citizens. They want democracy, and they view America as keeping certain governments in power which in turn limits the freedom of the Arab citizens.
6. To lessen the suffering of the Iraqi people(bear with me on this one...). The sanctions levied against Iraq have caused that country to become destitute. A lot of people die from malnutrition and preventable diseases(all while Saddam and his sons played in their palaces). Saddam never followed the rules that would have lifted the sanctions because he wanted to use his people's suffering as propaganda to the rest of the Arab world to show how "horrible" America was. With the sanctions(and Saddam) gone, the Iraqi people can have access to a better life

one conspiracy which is definitely not a secret is the federal reserve board..who are demanding that ppl work longer hours at lower pay..and that we wage wars of aggression..in order to prevent further degradation of their worthless paper money...
Annapurna- that is the strongest part of my belief that there is some sort of an attempt to create global governance. What is amazing is that nobody can give one solid reason why the Federal Reserve exists- why all the money in our country is controlled by a private bank, which was and is owned by other banks, and they are owned by about 7 families. I have read sooo much about this if you ever want to discuss it I would love to.
Whistleblower magazine (of worldnetdaily.com) did a huge article on the Fed, a great article, but could not list one reason for its being-they mentioned conspiracy but did not want to touch the idea.
Newt Gingrich tried to shut it down in 1998 because he knew what was going on- what the Federal Reserve actually means (a debt that cannot ever be paid back unless we start printing our own money), but guess what happened to him- he was chastised for writing a fucking book! Then Hillary Clinton does the same thing, to an extent far worse (listening to Bill O Riley expose her book signings and marketing techniques is some of the best comedy available), and it does not matter- unbelievable!

Demonstrate that the US bombed anyone strictly for it's oil.
unlike you..however..i'll at least bother to explain those s, courtesy of your fellow conservative paul o'neill ..
Quote:
According to O'Neill, invading Iraq was a Bush goal before he had even learned where the Oval office supply closet was. It came up just ten days after the inauguration, at the new president's first National Security Council meeting. "It was all about finding a way to do it," O'Neill says. "That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this.'" [article here]
Quote:
The details supplied by O?Neill make clear that the internal US discussions on Iraq were not simply ?contingency planning,? as they have been portrayed by administration spokesmen over the past two years, and continue to be portrayed even in news accounts of O?Neill?s revelations. O?Neill reviewed?and kept copies of?memoranda from the first days of the administration with titles like ?Plan for Post-Saddam Iraq? and ?Foreign Suitors For Iraqi Oilfield Contracts,? which examined such questions as how Iraq should be governed under US occupation and which countries and companies would be seeking a share of the spoils from the seizure of the second largest oil reserves on the planet. [article here]

OK, but you did say this.... So...the oil in other sovereign countries belongs to the US?
And then this.... If the grocery store refused to supply food to me...I wouldn't go bomb it
And then this.... What I want to know is: how does being "concerned" over your "supply" of something give you the right to forcefully obtain that "supply"?
I think that adds up to exactly what I asked. If you say it doesn't, I'm not a mind reader so I'll take your word for it.

No I wouldn't say that adds up to what you asked. At least, I did not intend it to!
The first was in reply to randal's post where he DID mention US "interest" in oil-supply (I think obviously refering to the Iraq situation).
You should be able to put the rest of what I said in context, knowing that.
For the record: I don't think the Iraq war was just over oil...though I'm quite sure oil did play a part. If you dissagree with that, that's your opinion

Yeah. Funny how many here seem to think no-one in the Bush admin says anything truthful.... until they say something they want to hear.
Of course what he said is in no way influenced by the desire to sell books and/or the desire to give the shaft to someone he feels wronged him.
Hell... I'm convinced.

Context is no proble. Add those three items up, add them to other posts of yours and.... bingo.
However as I said, I can't read your mind.
As for the war being just for oil, here's an earlier post with link..... 2-11-2003 Rono, see if you can find where I ever posted that oil wasn't a factor. You won't. What you will find is that I said it wasn't the main reason. Link
There are others but I figure one will suffice.

as if the junta shouldnt be given the shaft..for whatever reason...
