Bravo for pointing this out... If our actions in the Middle East are only about "cheap oil", why didn't we completely take over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq after the first Gulf War .... declare ourselves the "owners" of the Middle East and just take it all without buying any?

Before the war was started what I was hearing was that it was about the oil. Not in the sense of cheap oil for the consumer, but to make life better for the oil companies. Obviously, that theory was wrong since oil is basically free now, and the oil companies are filing for bankruptcy.

It's amazing you can see the monitor with your head so far up your ass (or at least the MSM's ass).
