Quote:Well, it doesn't work that way. It was a war for oil, but it wasn't done as to loot the oil reserves right away. It was to secure the oil reserves for future use, with a US backed government in place to sell them for cheap when the time comes.
Mythology, mehmet. Oil goes wherever the price is right. Canada and Mexico charge exactly the same as everyone else and its a hell of a lot easier to get it here. Even if al-Maliki's government survives you can bet your ass we aren't going to be getting "cheap oil" from them. Nor will Europe of East Asia.
