If attacking Iraq was a war for oil wouldn't it have been cheaper to drill for our own?

The oil is for Israel as was the war.9/11 was carried out by Mossad.

Yeah.





However it's ok now to send millions to Brazil and jobs to drill for oil down there now.





The Dems rubber stamped that one. It totally makes sense to me. GAWD what idiots.If attacking Iraq was a war for oil wouldn't it have been cheaper to drill for our own?
You know what? I never thought of it that way.


Ive heard Alaska has a lot of oil but I've also heard the oil inside the earth is being produced and we may never run out. I used to think it was from the flood and or dinasaurs life but they vanished in an asteroid so now I think the war is mainly to set up a new world order and yes 911 was an inside job lol and a boeing 757 never hit the pentagon. The Fema camps across the US and Canada are for more terror and false flag operations and at the heart of it all is population reduction. The ones who laugh at ';conspiracy theories'; are those who havent researched them and John F Kennedy was shot for trying to expose them to the American people. The Jesuits are at the heart of all destruction to national sovereignty. The most secretive evil society in the world is the vatican. Mother of all secret societies.
And 9-11 was an inside job.





There are gated homes for people who believe such nonsense.
Thats what I've been saying for years. The Iraq war cost our country nearly a trillion dollars. At $80 a barrel we could have simply bought 11 billion barrels and saved ourselves a lot of hassle in the process. Maybe if gas was $.90 a gallon I might actually believe the Iraq war was about oil. Then again I doubt many people would care at that point!
Firstly, I believe it wasn't just about oil, it was also about power. You could drill for oil yourselves but it costs millions of pounds, and you don't know how much oil you are likely to strike. There are also different types of oil, some are far more valuable than others. As for the power, well, the American and UK government can now detain anyone under the guise of tackling terrorism.
ANWR holds about 10 billion barrels of oil. We in the USA use 7 billion barrels per year. How long would ANWR supply us with oil, then? About a year and a half.





Sure, you could drill in ANWR; I'm sure nature would recover eventually. But what are you going to do once that oil is used up? At some point, we need to wean ourselves off of oil, just because it is a finite resource that we have to pay Middle Eastern countries to obtain. And then what do they do with that money? They pay Al-Qaeda not to bomb their oil fields. Our money ends up in terrorist hands:

Why not become energy independent? What's so wrong with that?
Oh boy, that actually make sense, people are going to hate you for that. We all prefer conspiracies, like Bush masterminding the 9-11 attacks but after pulling off the perfect excuse to attack Iraq, he accidentally blamed 9-11 on Osama Bin Laden.
Nope.


The supply underneath Iraq has long been recognized as the largest in the world. It was a confirmed source. Alaska can't compare with it, and neither can Texas.
And this is the question you've posted as a response to someone's debunking question?





Please... you really must try harder. At least supply a more plausible reason than gaining access to the third largest proven source of oil on the planet if you're trying to debunk this. It might well be cheaper to drill for your own but the tiny snag there is this; you've got to find more first. Why do that when there are billions of barrels hiding under Iraq in well documented reserves?





Oil was at least part of the story, because if it was not why did two companies of Royal Marines land on the Al Faw Peninsula to secure oil refineries ahead of the main invasion? Why did special forces secure the two distribution platforms the night before the main attack?





Answer those with a decent response and a degree of evidence and then I might believe your side of the story.
It was never about OIL. It was about Terrorism.
Possibly. But why bother, when you can have someone else do it for you?
Why do you just ask questions, instead of DO something about the way you feel about the Iraq War? If you think the Iraq War is such a bad war, type out a petition and have people here sign it, as many signers as you can get, or start a raid on the street, demanding that the government get out of Iraq (you are the government, along with the other 299 million Americans), if you are so against things going on, because of your choices to not act on things sooner.
