Well, every human in the world knows that was always the idea. There are far more oppressive dictators in the world than Saddam. Unfortunately, those countries have nothing to offer in the way of riches.
Australia has admitted that there's someone poking us with a sharp stick... I can imagine little Johnny will be getting a call from his best buddy pretty soon.
Yes, spot-on. It's been pretty laughable watching all of the idiots denying that oil had anything to do with it. I just thought that a bit of respect was deserved here for being honest at last.
Brendan Nelson is a weed. I really don't think he has the balls to tell the truth. Or has any reason to. I'm guessing he got his papers mixed up and opened the "never say this publicly" folder instead.
gold post I would add that they seek weak countries, too. Otherwise, why they do not attack North Korea or China ?
This will be a massive shock to the GTech lot. They ARE in Iraq for oil.... Maybe Gtech and his gang will finally see beyond the Bush propoganda that is the 'truth'
I doubt it - repeat after me me, we were there for the WMD's, or was it terrorists, or because Saddam was a bad man, but definately NOT because of the oil
yah....US are the ones who neeed help, what a load of bsh*t, US are smart to send others there too, thus they will have less negative impact on their budget & dead troops.
We're all idiots for accepting the invitation. It sounded like fun at the time, but the party didn't turn out as cool as the US promised.
I can't find the bit in that story that says Austrailia went into Iraq for oil, can someone point it out?
"The defence update we're releasing today sets out many priorities for Australia's defence and security, and resource security is one of them,"
How many soldiers does Aussie have there? Its not near as many as the US....if they want the oil that bad, they need to step up to the plate and help more, but hey, at least they are helping to begin with, unlike the pansy french...
