Why not the oil

That is the same as saying if your neighbor is bigger than you and he needs gas for his car, he should just be able to siphon it out of your gas tank. After all, what could you do about it? What's right is right, and the oil in foreign countries belongs to the people there. If you have a problem with us getiing Americans killed, why don't you expend your efforts trying to get our politicians to bring all the American soldiers home. That is much more likely to happen than the US actually "taking" any of their oil. By the way, watch out for your neighbors. They need gas.

Well if my neighbor gave me billons of dollars, and food , and would fight all my fights for me , id say let him have some things , that i could give him to help his big house out, and if he let his people who works for him come over and get killed taking care of me, id sure like him , and if he didnt ask for nothing in return , id say he was a fool ,

I think that was the original plan, disguised as a plan to protect ourselves from WMD's and to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussian.
