Several people have analysed the Iraqi-US situation. Well known military and political analysts, and they all come to the conclusion that Oil has a lot to do with the US attentions with regards to Saddam and the Middle East.
I don't think anyone can look at the situation objectively and deny that. If you do a search on Google News I am sure you will find several essays on the relationship between Oil, the US, and Iraq. IT IS playing a significant factor. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 10:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: [www.washtimes.com] What do u think? The US is involved in Iraq because we are the only ones that seem to care. Russia, China, and Japan are are very involved in the North Korea situation. It took use 5 or 6 years to get to this point with Iraq. North Korea kicked theirs out last week. If talks an UN action don't do any good with North Korea then I am sure we will have a military buildup. You act a lot differently when the country does have nukes and is testing delivery systems than with a country that is still trying to develop nukes. Right now Military pressure might work on Saddam, where as it might not with North Korea, Why does everybody assume its about Oil, most people in the US couldn't care less about the Oil situation, yet the polls say they would support and Iraq attack, why is that? Don't jump to conclusions because they make it easy for you to disagree, look at the real reasons. Until we started threatening war and moving troops, Iraq wasn't going to let the inspectors back in, now they are being less than cooperative, so we beat the drums a little louder. Saddam reacts to threats, we are threatening his removal, even other countries are now looking into him going into exile, you think this would have happened without US military buildup? > -----Original Message----- > From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 9:35 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: [www.washtimes.com] What do u think? > > *smirk* > And Ironically looking at North Korea..they're still the Lesser of Two > Evils now. > > Yet the US is attacking them and leaving it up to 'diplomacy' to solve > the North Korea crisis. > > On the one hand you have a country where weapons inspectors can't find > any nuclear arms.
