The Chinese company will provide technical advisers, oil workers and equipment to develop the al-Ahdab oil field, providing fuel for the al-Zubaidiya power plant in Wasit, southeast of Baghdad, bordering Iran, Jihad said."


Now we owe Billions in debt to a Nation who just got a 20 year oil lease in a Nation we "liberated". Absolutely Amazing.
Thankyou George!

Facts???

We are in Afghanistan, if you were on top of things better you would know we just took out more then 100 Taliban members in that country in one swipe.

Go back to the 4000 numbers, it is all your got.

We have an volunteer army and they ALL know what they are doing when they are volunteer for the job.

We lost FAR more people in every war we have been in by percentage but you fail to mention that.

Good grief, no wonder so many people are losing their way over priced and sold homes in America.
Please rethink and rewrite what you are trying to say! Nothing makes sense!
What are you trying to justify? Let me put it the educated and politically correct way, 1.) Bush started a war in a country that was no threat to us and had no business to be in...except for oil!
2.) He lied to our troops! 3.) He did not give our troops the supplies needed to fight a war! 4.) When they came home injured all the help he promised them got swept under the rug. 5.) If we had a draft, the war would have been over before it started! 6.) People are losing their homes due to the severe failure and greed of the Bush Administration! 7.) Wake up and smell the coffee!

Default I guess America did not go to war in Iraq for cheap oil.

I guess America did not go to war in Iraq for cheap oil. After all those lies from Lefties, these years, saying we went to war for cheap oil...

Who ever said cheap oil? Give the lefties credit, they said that it was a war for oil, as in control of it. Have we gotten that? Perhaps not. Or perhaps we have -- what more could oil companies want besides huge record profits? How exactly they got there is murky, but look at where we are at now:

1 - We went to war in Iraq
2 - Oil companies have made the biggest profits in history, more than any other company of any type

Does 1+2 = war for oil?

Huh...What! Let me get this right. Over 4,000 American lives lost, so that Iraq can sign a 3 billion dollar oil deal with China?

And Republicans are jumping for joy over this?
