Trump REPEATEDLY says "in war, to the victor goes the spoils"
That doesn't mean BY FORCE???? Who says "in war, to the victor goes the spoils" over and over without meaning force????
Is the saying "in war, to the victor goes the spoils" actually supposed to be interpreted as "in war, the victor asks politely for $1.5 trillion or more in oil wealth, and if the owner of the oil refuses, then the victor politely walks away"???
Trump: I always heard that when we went into Iraq, we went in for the oil. I said, "Eh, that sounds smart."
WSJ: So you would keep troops in Iraq after this year? Trump: I would take the oil. WSJ: I don't understand how you would take the — does that mean keeping troops there, or staying involved in Iraq? Trump: You heard me, I would take the oil.
Trump: We have thousands of people that died, our great soldiers. They died. Men and women, lots of people. We have thousands of people all over this country that are wounded, horribly wounded, with legs and arms. And lots —
WSJ: I think that they thought they were — Trump: Excuse me. WSJ: Sorry. Trump: And I would not want to be the one that would tell their parents that your son, your daughter, has died in vain, been wounded in vain. But I would not want to be the one who goes up to somebody that has a son or daughter that died in Iraq and tell them, "By the way, Iran has taken over Iraq, because we have so weakened that nation that they essentially don't have an army that can fight back as they have for hundreds of years." So I would absolutely keep the oil ... WSJ: I think that the soldiers fighting in Iraq were also fighting for freedom, not necessarily fighting for oil.
Should also be pointed out that Trump's own campaign ads say the US should take ISIS' oil. Great idea, right? But guess what? ISIS' oil was STOLEN from Iraq. Are we really going to steal Iraqi oil simply because it was stolen by ISIS first?

Why not?.. the left lets the illegals steal from America.. we need more money to support all those illegals who want food stamps and housing and heating vouchers and medical care and maternity care and cheese lines. We need to steal to feed the stealers.. it is the left who want the muslims here too .. to get welfare benefits.. we are going broke..
Are you going to provide any proof that Trumps wants to take oil by force, or are you going to keep repeating the same nonsense over, and over again?
What in the world are you rambling about??? How would the US take Iraqi oil by $1.5 trillion if not by force? how can you possibly look at all this sources, all these quotes and think it is not by force???
Why would Trump say it would be easy to takeover Iraq's oilfields because the US has decapitated its army if he didn't mean by force???
Why would Trump say "we stay and occupy Iraq's second largest oilfield" if it doesn't mean by force??? What do you think occupation means????
If they want us to help get their country back out of the hands of ISIS.. yes,, bargain for the oil.. our services don't come cheap anymore..
