When is the rest gonna go to USA? I mean isn't it why the war started?

Patience. When things get a little more secure all of Bush's BIG OIL buddies will stake their Iraq oil well claims.

4. I had read them saying...
a while ago that they thought this war would help our oil problems. I think that they felt is was going to be one of the benefits.

6. One of the benefits yeah
But to agree it was solely for oil? That their army buddies died for a cheap gallon of gas?

Maybe I should go check if there are two moons in the sky, or there's been another virgin birth or sumpthin.'

3. Many right-wingers will say this now
Michael Sewage has stated it was about oil so his sheep will be declaring the war was about oil--gleefully.

5. Bush's buddies are swarming like flies on a gut-wagon.
There is no way they can deny this to the world much longer.

8. now if we can just get them
to extend their logic and say that 9/11 was a good thing (some of them have already said this) because it united America to go fight and die like a bunch of sheep for the oil.

"Support our troops, what the fuck is wrong with blood for oil as long as its their blood and my oil?"

11. If Halliburton can charge $2.50 per gal. for Kuwaiti/Iraqi gas,
why do these simpletons think they're gonna get a discount at the pump?

13. Uh, I would say, "Guess what freepers"
The oil is gonna run out anyway, no matter who has it. It ain't going to get any cheaper. Call it "supply and demand".
