And Trump was even more specific on what he would do with the Iraq oil fields: seize them.

Well, GW Bush did promise pre-Iraq War 2 that the Iraqi oil would pay for OUR being there to free Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam.

So, how much oil did we get?

Yes he did! And as soon as the left started screaming no blood for oil he backed off that...just like every initiative he ever proposed in his 8 years at the helm. If the left said no W just shrugged his shoulders and said 'oh well, I tried' AND GAVE UP!

The anti-Trump whiners and other assorted castrati conveniently forget that this is one of the reasons the American people, and Congress, agreed to the invasion of Iraq. Just like the Kuwait war, we should be reimbursed.
