True. I supported Bush’s war against Iraq, because I thought he did it in order to secure an oil supply. Once we had that, then we could take on the Saudis, the chief backers of 9/11. If they blew up their oil rigs before we won that war, then the Iraqi oil would keep us supplied until we repaired the Saudi rigs.
Bush’s initial handling of the war on Saddam, and the military leaders he chose (working around the clintonoid leaders in the Pentagon) was very well done. But then things started going down hill, and it gradually became apparent that Bush had no intention of dealing with the real terrorists and their Saudi sponsors.
Then Bush ended up giving the Iraqi oil to France and China. All that blood, sweat, and tax money was wasted, in the end, after what looked like a successful start.
“Then Bush ended up giving the Iraqi oil to France and China. “
Bush did not give oil to anyone.
Iraq is selling on the open market and China is buying.
When I buy gas at the pump, no one is “giving” it to me.
I am paying for it.
France and China are paying for the Iraqi oil.
Bush did not invade Iraq to secure the oil supply. I suggest you reread (or perhaps read) the history from the early part of the aughts.
