So we want to occupy Iran so we can have their oil too |
|
so China can't get it? This seems to be the game plan when you cut to the essentials. But isn't that like you and the loanshark you owe most of your money to both being junkies and you want to cut off HIS supply of smack and keep it for yourself?? How is this going to work out?

Saudi Arabia has the world's largest reserves, but it is thought that they have been greatly exaggerated to maintain Saudi credit lines with international banks. Additionally, many of the Saudi wells are mature, and they've been pumping salt water into them, which makes it very easy to get oil out initially, but much harder down the road. Iran has the world's second-largest oil reserves, and Iraq the third. Iraqi reserves are found in the Shi'ite-majority southeastern portion of the country, closest to the Iranian border. Iran, though much larger, is almost a mirror-image of Iraq. Their oil reserves are primarily in the Shi'ite-majority southwestern portion of the country, closest to the Iraqi border. My guess is that Bushco eventually wants to unite these two Shi'ite majority regions into a US satellite, and let the Sunny, Kurd and whatever other regions form independent states.

|
have been outsourced to them?
Actually part of the world domination goal of the PNAC then they can charge China, Europe and China an extreme price for the oil

6. Well we *could* be after their fine handwoven rugs |
|
but I suspect the petroleum is more frequently the subject of conversation between Bush and his corporate backers and underlings.

7. It's not the taking of oil |
|
Disrupting the supply is what really makes the oil cronies happy.

8. Government Doesn't Care If China Gets It |
|
The Bushies just want to cut up Iran and give it to American owned companies, (cronies) then sell it to the highest bidder.
It isn't about keeping it for America, it's about making Bushies and cronies RICHER

like the Bushco ratfuckers always do. It's not a mode of thinking native to most people.
