Define "because of the oil" If you mean because the flow of oil from the middle east is vital to our economy, then you are in part correct, and I have no problem with this. If you mean because "big oil" in the US will profit, PROVE IT!
LOL, can you count? Hmm Dick Cheney used to be the president of Halburton company, naw they don't want oil.
Yes, the first action the US will take in this war is to capture the oil fields, for good reason, Saddam has vowed to blow them like he did the ones in Kuwait.
Yep that's the only reason, Dick Cheney didn't used to run an oil company, the Bushes don't have anything invested in oil.
Maybe part of the reason Iraq is the priority is because we already have our troops and equipment there. Perhaps it's because of Saddam's funding of Terrorists, perhaps it's because if we divert our attention to Korea then when we get back to Iraq they'll have developed a nuke, and the whole issue become a lot stickier.
In your own words, PROVE IT!
