So the main interest was middle Eastern oil?
no?
muh oil
No
Main interest was defending the US oil supply from the middle East
Iraq isn't a large oil producer, anyone who thinks so has learned politics through intagram memes
the interest imo was to get rid of Saddam and clear Iraq of whatever fucking WMDs they found
But you just said he was a destabilizing factor to other nations that had oil.
I'm fucking confused rn
you worded it like Iraq had oil
that the USA wanted
Sorry, not what I meant
I meant the ultimate goal was to secure oil supply in the region
Would you agree?
50
Oop nevermind
Yeah their most main priority was to protect Middle Eastern nation's that supply the oil for the US
Iraq produces a significant amount of oil and a regime hostile to the USA threatens their partners in the region, simple as that. The WMDs and terrorists were bs.
no the war was not justified
not to meantion we only went to war cause 9/11 was rigged by (((them))) when in actuality those terrorists were in saudi arabia and pakistan
the countries we trade for oil with
eeeevil jews rigging everything
omg zog u guys
>middle east an important source of oil
>Canada meaning almost half of US imports
>most of the OPEC countries aren't in the middle east
although this might've been different back in the 2000s without fracking being as relevant as it is today and such
Hello! What are we talking about?
that the war in Iraq was for their oil is trash since it only means 6% of the US imports
Why would we start a war, JUST, for oil.
Trade is easier, no?
It could've been a political move though, make bush like a man of war.
yet again
ok,nvm
I didn't read your thing well
I see the latter as more plausible
make a war to open trade sounds a little counterproductive since you'll just get in trouble with civilians over there
jesus christ people actually think they went to war for oil
how many fucking instagram memes do you get fed daily
