Let us hope that your stay is brief if you think this war is about money.

If we wanted Iraq's oil then we would simply drop the sanctions and buy it. Spending billions of dollars militarily to take billions of dollars worth of oil is stupid. I would not recommend that you spend a million dollars to hire someone to break into my house as I will you all of my stuff for far less.

False economy and lack of logic.


Stay safe; stay armed.

Then why is Tony Blair(our primary ally) allowing Iraq arms buyers to do this?

This war is about money... and it's not just on the surface.

It's the repair of oil fields which will certainly be damaged as the result of any US action in the region.

It's about control of the Iraqi oil reserves, which will result in the US being aboe to control the world flow and price of oil.

It's about defense contractors selling arms to the US and others.

And let us not forget that many of those who are in positions to make decisions stand to be financially rewarded.

Always follow the money.
