Will Iraq be Americas Personal Gas Station??

As the US dollar continues to collapse and our money becomes more worthless the price of oil will rise (Happening now)........ Do you feel the real reason we are in Iraq is because the powers to be expect the US dollar to decline so bad we wont be able to pay $125 to $250 a barrel for oil.... Then will Iraq serve as Americas Gas Pump? We wont be able to buy oil in USA $$$ dollars on the world market but will be able to get it at the end of a gun barrel in Iraq......... Opinions Please ?

    Alan J do YOURSELF a favor and don't ANSWER anymore questions. The IDIOTS are the ones who answer with something the question didn't even ask. WILL IRAQ be Americas personal gas station is the question. And the Question has already been answered. Check out the website below. Its from a think tank of sorts, that BUSH, RICE, AND CHENEY was part of right before stealing the 2000 election. And one of the papers written talks about THE question asked. And their point of view was now that we were the only super power in the world we should use that power to look after OUR interests to an oil supply. It also went on to state the only way we would be able to secure those interest would be to have a catastrophe like pearl harbor happen to get us into war. You old enough to remember 9/11? you don't seem like it. Well there was a terrorist group called al qadea responcible for that, with an asshole named bin laden running things. Who had no ties to Iraq what so ever. But where is the stink hole bin laden? We captured Saddam hiding in a box, not out amonst people. So where ever bin laden is his box must be 1000 times more secure than Saddams. And also whe something costs 1$ but a month later the SAME thing costs 3$ that is the dollar collapsing. EINSTEIN

    And as the question also shows they wrote it was suppost to be for our best intrest but as the price of oil shows it for the oil companies best intrest not the people. One of the things I remember most after MISSION ACCOMPLISHED was them saying Iraqi oil was for the Iraqi people, who are still standing in line for their gas. And this isnt even 10 years after that stupid paper came out.

    Hey Metropolis,

    The real reason dollar is collapsing is because the Federal government heavily interferes with how the economy should function - on its own. Fed pumps in a lot of money, which weakens the dollar.

    I for surely think US will definitely use the Iraqi oil if need be and pretty soon. I also think Bush had a personal motive (being close friends of Saudis) to get a handle on the Iraq's vast reserves of oil. Ron Paul should have had a fair chance in this election who knows how the economy functions (he also wanted to get rid of Income taxes) but obviously the media and the corporate world masked his campaign.

    I think there are a lot of reasons why we went into Iraq. One of which is oil. If Iraq cut off our oil supply do you realize how much trouble we would be in! If our government would stop listening to all the nature freaks and dig for oil in our own country (Alaska) we wouldn't have a problem. I can't remember the exact date but I think it was like 1970's when we last drilled for oil in our own country. This is ridiculous! Yeah I care about nature but give me a break. When do animal have more rights then we humans do?

    We didn't go to Iraq for oil. Iraq will not be America's Gas Pump. We should be drilling for our own oil in our own country.

    No. Soon America will be oil-free with our substitute alternate fuels.

    I have faith in a God who can do all things for those who trust Him.

    The government will not develop this alternate fuel. It will come from the people who sustain this nation. We do not trust in government, we trust in God. It is the Lord who provides our protection and provision.

    Are you kidding me? If we were able to get oil from Iraq we would have by now. Bush and Co aren't clever enough for such a conspiracy. What seems like a big dumb mess IS a big dumb mess. And relax -- the economy will be fine.

    comment: they are most likely going to decrease the price of oil soon, so we'll be thankful for 3.00 gas. When really thats too expensive.

    comment 2: the technology is out there to get the U.S. off of it's oil addiction

    but "they" want to keep us tied to the pump

    This retarded war is part of Bush and co. secret operation to control the world's oil. Its more likely that Bush is shutting down the production in Iraq so he can raise prices than the stuff you mentioned above.
