Now that we control Iraqi oil, does the war pay for itself by $4.00 gasoline??

Question

and will Saudi Arabia buy more American banks and real estate at rock bottom prices.....complements of "Bush and Friends"?

...and that is why neither Obama or McCain hav even mentioned the economic crisis taking place in the USA right now?

Answer 1

The oil companies have made the largest profits in corporate history, thanks to their two employees in the white house. Mission accomplished!

Answer 2

No. The democrats (with republican help) in congress are forcing the American people to pay for the war and the rebuilding while the Iraq government puts all it's money in the bank.

Answer 3

no, that's paying some of the interest the world owes to the world bank

Answer 4

LOL are you really that neive? Oil and 4.00 gas is not why we're in the economic "mess" nor is the war. We're in the economic mess because Billary told everyone to go out & buy a house and all the banks to loan the money to allow it so people who couldnt afford homes went out & got loans at flexible rates which were the lowest already in years & what happens when things are low they go up which is how the banks were going to make their money which is why their in the business & totally understandible. But then interest rates started going up and fools who bought homes for 500k that really couldnt afford 200k were caught with their pants down & locked in their contracts for 30 years most already couldnt pay the mortgage let alone when the interest started going up and so again people who shouldnt have bought or who shouldnt have been able to afford a home not only bought one but maxed out their credit on the big most overpriced homes they could find. Why because they were so sure that housing markets were always going to stay the same & home prices thus would always go up only life doesn't work that way. What goes up at some point levels off even goes down at some point.  I live in San Jose where the tech bubble was now there's still teck companies here & new ones open all the time but not to the level of the 90s because life times & opportunities have moved on to other places & locations. One reason people left was because california had high corporate taxes so companies woke up & said that's insane lets go to texas or Atlantic where taxes are lower & so they do & thus people move or let go but then have no place else to get a job either so they they have to find one some where & so it continues. In the 80s new york was losing lots of people because of crime & high prices then in the 90s people started moving back because crime was going down & as a result people saw a renew desire there it happens. Stop trying to blame the world for you issues honestly. We import more gas & oil then europe yet they pay more. California has 19 different "grades" of gas alone because of differe restrictions in different areas & that makes it more costly to make. Nothing in above oil so you can't be totally without oil its just not realistic. Stop buying & driving your SUV around town SUVs were made for travel not commuting around town to run errands but long drives or off roading. You are so Nieve about reality it's not anyone's fault but your own as to why your in your mess & its not my or anyone elses job to bail you out or feel bad for you because you got a bmw instead of a car or house you could really afford. I lost half my 401k about 50k so far & that's beyond words but you dont hear me complainting or blaming others for my loss or because I have to fill up every other day now because I got a new job & now have to commute. You made your choices deal with it. If you smoke it's not the tobacco companies fault if you get cancer because especially now you know full well the risks of starting let alone continueing to smoke so its all on you. Here's a quarter call someone who cares oh wait noone does because it's your own fault.

Answer 5

Don't jump the gun. We don't control Iraqi oil. Does this mean, "Mission Unaccomplished?"
