Free in the sense that u.s dollars won't be paying for the oil. Iraqi dinars will.

I feel so bad for the people of Iran, their leaders are going to bring death and destruction upon them.

Easy, they dont convert any Iraqi Dinar that they hold, and just use Iraqi Dinar in transactions with Iraq, Via cheaper oil. actually... free oil.

Yes I forgot only America is expected to follow the Geneva convention. I guess beheading dozens of Americans on national Iraqi tv is a ok. Do people read what they write? What about the hundred thousands of japenese civilians that got incinerated by nuclear bombs, regardless of what you think war is war, and sometimes human emotion gets in the way.

I completely agree! it will never end. but it can be controlled

I just would like to remind everyone that people in all countrys kill eachother because of their beliefs, last year 5,000 gangbangers died in America as a result of gang violence. But no one describes America as in civil unrest. Iraq will eventually contain and eliminate these idiots, and casualties will be less and less, its just takes time. Time that they do have, with money comes better security.

So odd, Kuwait wants remains of the dead, we hear nothing else about it then a week and a half later Kuwait says they wont stand in the way of sanctions against Iraq,, then a pre islamic tomb is found in Karbala...hmmmmm.. i need the doc right now

If the U.S really wanted to assasinate you. They would of done it already, VIA. Any way they wanted to. And I'm sure it wouldbt of been by choice of 4 embassy security personal.. it would of been a sniper from 2 miles away.

Space number 4 on the form, it only goes up to 200,000. That seems odd to me if they were in fact specifically talking about real estate, etc. would anyone else agree?

really now? so your telling me real estate, dividends, etc, are computed to only equal a networth of 200k? USD? IMO if it were referring to something other than currency speculation I.E BIG investors. the amount would be much, much, higher. would you agree?

Gotcha, thanks for clearing it up for me Stryker

Multiple times in this article they state that the Iraqi dinar E xchange rate will not be changes due to the hard currency reserves the country has, how's that good ? Unless its smoke

My apologies. Lost my cool when such ignorence was thrown my way, everyone who served in Iraq and Afghanistan know why we fought, and still fight, and it is not for oil. It's to protect our families and fellow americans back home. It's just unfortunate that someone could know nothing about the war, then try to argue with someone whose seen it first hand as to why they were there fighting. And the only thing they have are news articles made up by people just as mentally handicapped as themselves. I just hope someday reality will smack them in the face. Until then ...

Ohh and neg me all you want, ban me. I DC. i fought in iraq with my brothers. Ive seen grown men cry because their best friends just got incinerated by IEDS or got picked off by a sniper, Ive seen HUMVV's come back the doors open and blood just poor out but nothing else. . I don't need to google articles to know why i fought their. Regardless of whether some jackass who sits at home and googles articles thinks, i know what we fought for. He knows nothing. And hes not gonna sit here and post bullshit links when i saw it with my own two eyes. I have no respect for people who think we invaded Iraq for oil., because those people who think that don't respect everyone who sacrificed their lives to make sure the iraqi people never get gassed again, and never have genocide brought upon them. People who say that Insult all the Americans who lost their lives on September 11th

Maybe it was over the top, But i don't really care. Its Americans like him who don't appreciate the thousands who have died to protect his freedom. But apparently all the death and suffering was due to economical gains to the US. As far as I'm concerned what he said is one million times worse than anything i said. He needs a reality check.

Another Lie huh? You seem like a pretty tough guy. Get some more of your links and and find out that the north Vietnamese used thousands of children to kill Americans. Ranging from making new borns sit on mines crying and waiting for an American Soldier to pick them up so the mine went off, you need to go to a local VFW and stop googling ur bull **** articles. your seriously mislead.

No ive worked for the USMC, ive seen people get shot in the head and die to make sure your relatives don't get killed in plane bombings. As far as Im concerned you should be hanging With Sadaam. Im not wasting my time on such an idiot anymore. I hope An Iranian terrorist kills your family. Then maybe you'll appreciate what your soldiers do for you. It is was not for ******* oil.

I think its OK because the USA doesn't go around threatening other nations with nuclear weapons. If Israel is our ally, and Iran wants to unleash nuclear bombs on them simply because they don't like there religion, or there views. Well now Iran is threatening to kill millions of Israelis. That right there is a threat that goes against the Geneva convention. If America is as bad as your making it out to be, then heck wed blow the crap out of any country we didn't like. Last time i checked we have the biggest weapon arsenal in the world. Why do people get the impression that America is just some big bully who randomly picks on other countries. Ive been around for 22 years now, and every "impunity" act that America has done has been because a fascist or dictator starts killing thousands of people just because of religious views or for no other good reason.. Not once have i seen America go into a country and kill combatants just for economical gains. All these idiots say "oh America invaded Iraq because of the chance to make money" well folks news flash, 10 years later and almost 7,000 Americans dead. I'm not seeing any of the gain that America went to war for, except making thousands of families suffer because of the loss of loved ones. We fought in Iraq to improve peoples lives their. Do you know how many times Ive seen an Iraqi child smiling in happiness, just because an American soldier picked him up, or talked to him. gave him something so SIMPLE AS A BALL TO PLAY WITH. But us going to Iraq was an impunity. Just like us trying to stop the extermination of Israelis is and impunity. Got a question for you Rich man, have you ever seen war? do you know why most Americans died in Vietnam. Because they could not pull the trigger. Its sad when a nation hates it soldiers, but a nation like south Korea and south Vietnam love them for saving their lives. What an impunity huh.

Fooorr this investments defense, you have to admit that last year compared to this year the news coming out from the cbi is moreover actual news, rather than okie saying its gonna rv 5 minutes ago.

Your right its does sound familiar, except its opposite. Were not cutting imports of oil to Iran, Were asking allied nations to Stop buying oil from Iran, which is just as devastating. IMO America is basically telling Iran if they don't keep their dirty hands of Iraq, than were gonna create very big problems for them.

Im sorry I'm not understanding the part of my post where i said America is a full blown democratic nation? i posted that America tried to instill in Iraq a DEMOCRATIC approach to a government h.o lemme go find a link... oh wait a minute i already know what a democracy is uhhhhhh oh yeah ; Democracy in its most ideal form would be a society in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. HMM LAST TIME I CHECKED, THAT HAPPENS HERE IN THE OLD United States of America. We are a republic, you are totally correct. But we have a democratic approach to government. Stop trying to debunk and over-analyze everything i say. and actually read what I'm writing. Thanks.

This is true, we could of stayed longer. And spent billions of taxpayers money to police a country, but i do believe America got their point across, that a democratic way of life is ideal in any situation presented by the world these days.I mean look at all the uprisings in the middle east, Libya, Egypt, etc. I think eventually it will stick, and that's the best shot we have at improving these peoples lives. To influence the young that will be leaders someday and get through to them that; hey democracy may not be the best way to do things, but in this day and age it is.

I dont want to sound like a jerk, really. But i just cant understand how anyone can believe that the U.S. entered WW2 because of an attack from Japan. Especially after they surrendered 3 years after the initial attack. The links your posting are backing up my argument to you. Articles that state " Americas EARLY INVOLVEMENT in WW2 was due to Japan." key words being Early Involvement. Do a little more research. Find out that all it took to contain Japan was an Island Hopping Campaign that only involved the Marine Corps. and no other branch of the military. I don't need links because i know these facts to be true. I don't need to Google it. Im not making up history here, its archived.. When America Used such a small faction of the military to contain a WHOLE COUNTRY but then used almost all of our military sources to stop Germany, how can you argue that Japan was the reason we went to war. Its ilogical

Haha! i think ill be proud to be a Texan to, Especially because they have one of the best economies in the U.S right now. And there is nothing I love more than the Southern Hospitality (not referring to Ludacris hit single) you receive. I hold doors open for people up here in CT and don't receive a thank you or even a smile. Its baffling how you can go from the North to South and all Mannerisms change.
