When all the oil runs out, which it will, i think we'll be technologically advanced enough for us to live without, but yes, oil at the moment is a big issue.

Actually according to some reports Canada is the second largest holder of oil. But most of this oil is in tar sands which costs a hell of alot more a barrel.

Oil from the ground costs a few dollars a barrel to get out. Oil sands cost about $20 a barrel.

Lol0mgpen0rbbq, of course we'll all for oil! How silly a question... well, oil will be our official reason for goin to war anyways, not necessarily describing our motives... lets say our next president doesnt like mexicans. Problem: all of teh mexicans must eliminated, but we need to get pubelic support Solution: say we need oil, and for it. gawd... itz teh so obvius.

U.S. can do whatever it wants. Who's gonna stop us? Us Americans are the supreme beings on this planet and either you obey or get rolled over. We'll take out Iran and nothing will stop us for doing that. Then when we're done.... oh, screw you and your crying about a draft. You will fight when we tell you to. The American peasants are mere slaves to our almighty government. Freedom of speech? Don't make me laugh. The constitution is there only to keep you slaves in line. It doesn't count towards the almighty government. If it weren't for them, you peasants would be nothing.

God made us gods. Jesus Christ always get a hard on whenever we kill all those beneath us. That's right. All you non-Americans are nothing more than sub-human maggots not deserving to live in OUR world. Be thankful we don't kill you and shut up.

Americans will find X place where there is oil.
They will invent Y story to get it.
Z movie maker will try to educate the American people since the average American is too stupid enough to read or notice the fixing of an election, only Michael Jackson is important.
American people will call Z movie maker a "communist" or "unpatriotic" despite the lessions of the past.
The rest of the world laughs at America for being so dumb.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Where the hell was this Michael Jackson story? It was on for like a week and then everyone shut up about it. Hell, even the BBC was talking about it.

Your overgeneralizing.

The US cannot just get up and invade any country and not have to worry abotu consequences. Not only could it get its ass served to them by the world (I dont care how powerfull the US is, they cant win a war against the world on their own, especially if countries like the UK, Germany, Russia, China or France get involved. Two the economic rath they could face woudl be devestating. Their economy is only good as long as teh world buys from them. If some of the G8 countries start slapping embargos on the US, bye bye.

No sir they can. The UN is toothless. Americans dont care. Americans even think Sadam had something to do with 9/11 "the evidence is clear" remember? They can do whatever the fuck they like so long as its populated by arabs or people with shit govenments of their own. They can do anything, they dont have anyone's support anymore (except for England which dont care so much either except when they are targets themselves)

True

Of course

If some of the G8 countries start slapping embargos on the US, bye bye.

Cant see it happening

How would the White House justify invading Canada, Venezwayla(sp) or Russia? Sure they can find ways to justify invading Iran, Iraq or any other Middle Eastern country, mainly due to ignorance in the general US population abotu geo-politics, but outside of the the middle east and arab nations they have a much harder sell, especially to its "allies". Doesnt matter hwo well they sell it to the US population, if they cant sell it to the world they are fucked.

And the embargo thing, if they piss off the world it is possible, and much more disirable then war. Probally wouldnt be a total embargo, just on man products, especially agriculutral and raw amterials. Eventually they could build up industries in the world enough to sustain without US firms.

Yes, they can. There will be consequences, but as long as they believe in the rapture, they're not worrying about jack shit.

I'm just trying to think logicaly without jumping to conclusions. Maybe they do just want nukes, but fear is not a good place to start a trail of thought. Ofcourse theres also a good chance your bein sarcastic, but why take that chance.

Fixing of an election. Really. Sounds like empty rhetoric to me. Find me solid proof of a conspiracy or shut your mouth. Yeah, you are so smart you dont need proof I bet. It is just so appaent even dumbass Americans should be able to see it, with the help of said movie makers and the Democratic party. Hell, what is proof anyway? Just more words. Who needs that shit. Certainly not people from Spain.

American people will call Z movie maker a "communist" or "unpatriotic" despite the lessions of the past.

He is obviously so unbiased and such a good source such claims are ridiculous. Why cant more people see the light?

The rest of the world laughs at America for being so dumb.

Lol, good thing the rest of the world is so intelligent to show us Americans how dumb we are. How we got so powerful and invented what we did, well, thats dumb luck. Obviously.

Haha, fuck you dude. Only can foreigners be such overgeneralizing assholes to Americans. If I started crap with Spain or Israel or China, Id be called a nationalistic pig. You however seem to think you are doing good.

Lol, "Americans dont care". Haha, you are such a douche. I supported the war at the time, I dont now. Why you ask? How are you so fuckin stupid I bet you are thinking. I will tell you.

I had no reason to think the goverment was lying to the American public or manipulating evidence to start a war. Why the hell would I? 9/11 just happened, Afghanistan was rolled over, Iraq had a bad history, whats to doubt? For whatever reason they started the war I really dont know. That is still not clear yet. You somehow think us Americans are warmongers who really dont care what we do. Buy a fucking clue douchebag.

Well, I guess this proves the rest of the world is just as full of assholes as America is.

I still never get why we would start a war with Iraq for oil. Even if we did the plan doesn’t seem to be working to well because oil prices keep going up and up. And if we really wanted oil wouldn't Bush have a much easier time just pissing off a bunch of environmentalist and drilling in Alaska and off the Coast of California where there is a ton of oil?

As for the reasons why the war was started, everybody thought Saddam had weapons, even the Russians, Germans, and the Brits all thought he had weapons of mass destruction. The only thing that really kept the US from getting the UNs approval was France, and that's because they were taking kickbacks from Saddam.

Also why is it every time I hear that the election were rigged there is never a single shred of evidence? Oh I know why that's because there isn't any. If there was, the media would be all over it, most of the media outlets (i.e., The New York Times, LA Times, CNN, just to name a few) all hate Bush, if the election was rigged in the slightest way they would never shut up about it. But I've never heard them ranting about how Bush rigged the election so I'm making an educated guess that he didn't.

And all this crap with "oh the other countries are going to start a war against the US and the US is going to loose" is complete and utter bullshit. For starters we may be at arms length with some of our allies, but they're not going to go out and declare war on us because of what we're doing now.

And really when you have to use insults like "the rest of the world laughs at america for being so dumb" you need to spend some more time researching the topics at hand and less time dishing out sub par insults.

First off, tons of oil is pumped out of Alaska. They can indeed mine it. Your referring the the area in a nature reserve, which is thought to have some oil, although only a small amount has been proven.

Second, not one drop of that oil will ever go to America. We sell a great deal of our Alaskan oil to Japan and China because its more cost efficient to sell there and buy from the Middle East.

Thats how it is now. What if it were more cost efficient to keep ourselves in stock of our own oil? LEt japan and china deal with the middle east.

No.... I just explained why. Because its cheaper to ship it from the middle east then to build a pipeline down the country.
