Yes, I think he will tear us apart.
No, he will bring us closer together.
Um, that's exactly what I was implying. And we'll do any morally objectionable things we have to do in order to accomplish that. Supporting totalitarian governments, invading and occupying foreign nations, overthrowing democratic governments to be replaced with U.S. puppets, etc.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
I agree with most of what you said, and I basicly agree with it. Face it, oil is the lifeblood of our country, and anyone that put that supply in jepordy is threatening our national security.
The bolded part is funny though as I dont remember the US ever removing a democratic govt and placing a puppet govt there.
From Wiki:
Ahmed Abdel Hadi Chalabi was interim oil minister in Iraq in April-May 2005 and December-January 2006 and deputy prime minister from May 2005 until May 2006. Chalabi failed to win a seat in parliament in the December 2005 elections, and when the new Iraqi cabinet was announced in May 2006, he was not awarded a post. Once dubbed the "George Washington of Iraq" by American neoconservatives, he has fallen out of favor and is currently under investigation by several U.S. government sources. He is also wanted for embezzling nearly $300 million through a bank he created in Jordan.
that sounds to me like the US is allowing Iraqi's to freely elect their own leaders.
That's probably because you don't know anything about history, which is quite shocking considering that you knew the relatively obscure fact that Israel secretely borders the Persian Gulf. Iran's democratically elected Government was replaced by the United States with the Shah. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan all have oppressive governments supported by our own. If you don't believe me, you should take a look at the hardware their armed forces are sporting.
