'Occupy' types

We'll never invade Iran, theres no point to it.
Bombing their nuke plants, sure, but invasion? Ha!

They will probably get all uppity after we hit their nuke plants and deploy their navy.
Sure, we'll drop their navy like panties on a prom night but we wont put Marines ashore.
I'd talk about their air force but its pretty much irrelevant.

There was no point to invade Iraq but we did.
There was no point for military actions in Lybia but we did.


What does Iraq, Iran, and Lybia all have in common?


Greatest Oil Reserves by Country, 2006 — Infoplease.com

All three countries are in the top 10 in oil reserves. This is no coincidence. Tell me, why are we talking about air strikes to North Korea? How come we aren't steam rolling the warlords in South Africa? Resources. That's why. Everything in life comes back to two things. Money and Power.

Here we go with the age old liberal mantra of "No blood for oil".
And still we didnt get any oil......pffffftttt
Iran isnt about oil.
Its about fanatics with nukes.
Its about an eight year old wildly swinging a bayonet in a crowded room.

No, we didn't get any oil from Iraq.

But Halliburton did get some lucrative oil production service deals which were unavailable before.

I didn't say we were stealing the oil or that it would be free.

Nah, it wasn't about oil.




Oh, you say it's about fanatics with nukes eh? Much like Saddam Hussein?..lol Didn't we hear this same shit back in 2002?




Number of countries Iran has bombed in the past decade- 0
Number of countries the US has bombed in the past decade- 8


Yemen 2002

Iraq 1991-2003 (US/UK on regular basis)

Iraq 2003-present

Afghanistan 2001-present

Pakistan 2007-present

Somalia 2007-8, 2011

Yemen 2009, 2011

Libya 2011

Who's the fanatics with nukes again? I'm confused.
