George Bush nearly pelted with shoes

Well #1 Saddam didn't recognize the terms of the treaty of the Persian Gulf War which sad to say was a VALID reason for war but we heard the same shit the UN has been spewing since it was created "Give sanctions more time"....I think that is their fucking motto! #2 He had his eyes on Kuwait before and seeing how he still had an army well it was only a matter of time.


Kirkland we ARE the nice and innocent party, we are willing to pay them a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money for their product and they are living in the fucking stone age. OUR culture is the better culture and I say that knowing full well we do have our faults and they are big, but we are the culture of freedom and liberty. Also THANK YOU ENGLAND for being the first to stir the pot with these jackasses.

Yah, we agree on that much, at least. The oil gets paid for, even now. By some accounts, you'd think some people believe the oil is being pumped into ships and carried away free of charge.

Aside from whether the oil is actually being paid for is how the oil is paid for and the economic and security relationships between the US and the oil-rich countries. The Arabian desert contains two-thirds of the world's cheaply recoverable oil reserves and since their discovery has been the greatest strategic prize in history. Dominance in the region guarantees the dominant country huge economic benefits and in the case of the US is the key to its greater-than-others economic growth over the last half century. By militarily dominating the region and suborning and co-opting the leaders of the oil-rich countries the US is able to make itself the world's economic superpower. Take the US bases out of the region and allow oil to trade in every currency and oil profits from the Arabs to be invested anywhere and the US economy would quickly founder.
