What's A Leftist To Do?

I thought Iraq was invaded for the oil?

This is rich:

Despite claims by some critics that the Bush administration invaded Iraq to take control of its oil, the first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq's new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Vietnam? VIETNAM? Is there a Halliburton office there?

This is even richer:

Rosy estimates even have Iraq producing 6 million barrels a day in the long term, which would make it the world's No. 4 producer behind Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Yeah, you read that right. The United States is among the top 3 oil producers in the world.

So, Bush invaded Iraq to steal the oil from what could possibly be the 4th largest producer of oil in the world, trailing the United States, which, last time I checked, Nancy Pelosi was president of.

Er, well, you get it.

4 Really now, shouldn't we have simply blown up a few powdered milk
factories or some empty training camps?  There you go, now THAT
would've shown 'em who's boss.

5 3.  LMAO!
 
I've been duped!  I thought we were after camel meat.  Not to worry though, we won't hear a word about this on the MSM.

7 Y'all call yourselves sceptics?!? The conspiracy is to keep oil prices inflated - incase you hadn't noticed the record prices - who benifits? The major oil producers. It is simple supply and demand. The spice must flow (slowly). He who can destroy a thing controls that thing...

8 The stock holders of major oil corporations. Dork. They are the guys next door. Well maybe not in your case.
