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

solving things are not as easy as dropping bombs in everything

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
