T. Boone Pickens said if we leave Iraq, China will get all the oil concession contracts, essentially confirming that our troops are being used as a gun to the Iraqis head to force them to negotiate terms "our" oil companies dictate. If they get what they want, what are the chances they would share their good fortune with us?

  1. #1    And how long is China really going to finance its own military encirclement and oppression by the US?

  2. #2    Loved this little gem from the author: "Military action is a form of welfare for oil companies."

  4. #4    I love it when crazy people confirm they are crazy. No one paying attention these last 9 years who can think clearly doesn't think that we invaded Iraq to keep the oily substance flowing. In case you wondered where the oil comes through from the Caspian region its...yep Afghanistan.
