Remember : This is all about O I L

[devilgrrl]

I'm most certainly not as eloquent as Mr. William Pitt but I be so bold to state that the last 8 years have been about procuring the world's oil supply and nothing more. So don't give me this bullshit about finding justice for that inside job known as 9/11, spreading freedom or fighting terrorism - I'm not buying it. This is about OIL - period!

Thank you.

1. As they first stated...

Operation Iraqi Liberation.. O I L

[Supersedeas]

3. why is there not discussion of what 'American interests' are in Iraq in the media establishment?

[RethugAssKicker]

2. and about American might !

4. With the side issue of giving cover to the robbery of the US Treasury by Halliburton

cheney has to make up for the costs he incurred when he acquired Grace (and all those asbestos claims) as head of Halliburton. He is making sure he has a swell retirement.

5. Deeper than that. It's about wealth and domination.

[glowing]

6. Its about controlling the price of oil.. and chaos makes them rich.

[B Calm]

7. OIL = Operation Iraq Liberation

8. It's always been about energy in some form

More like the last 8 thousand years, than just the last 8. Probably the last 8 million years, since everything needs energy to survive.

Guess what? It'll continue to be about energy too. We seem to think solar or wind energy will free us from physical reality. They won't. We'll still end up with people that have too much, and those that don't have enough. The wealthy will still be there, the poor will still be there. We'll still have environmental problems, they'll just be different. It will always be about energy, and the race to get to the destination that isn't even there as quickly as possible.

11. No sound at my office but that clip looks like it uses music without permission

So it's not exactly "banning" something if Youtube is merely obeying copyright law.

[unapatriciated]

13. no it falls under "fair use"

It was selectively banned, lame has many political vids, where he uses songs to illustrate a political or social issue. It was banned due to graphic depiction of the war. That is censorship. btw it is still on google. G&R didn't request it's removal for copyright issues, a "concerned" youtuber alerted due to graphic war pics.

In case you are wondering how I know this, I do his laundry. ;)


on edit The vid was on youtube for over two years before they pulled it. They deemed this war "inappropriate"

10. Frontline talked about this loathsome occupation for 4½ hours and never said "oil" one time

12. It's only just about oil if you use Ray McGovern's acronym

Oil
Israel
Logistics.

It would be unfortunate to forget all the forces at work. Rightwingers like AIPAC wanted this war as did the military hawks and the profiteers. It wasn't just oil.
