That's just it... To many politicians and big corporate players, the oil is more important.

1.) Was it Dr. Strangelove or glove or some shit like that?
2.) I can understand what you're saying Tonyd. Even I have feelings like that sometime.
3.) Please remember that everyone entering the armed forces must take the oath. It is an all volunteer military now. As far as the money goes, the families will be well taken care of buy the Serviceman's Insurance, etc. Please don't get me wrong, I know that no amount of money will ever heal their pain, I'm just saying that they will be taken care of. I have lost about 6 close friends so far from my Battalion alone, so I do understand what you're saying. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be able to visit their families and let them know what great people they were. Anyways, back to my point. I just wanted to stress that we all took the oath and volunteered to follow our orders the best way we could.

Howabout the freedom of an entire nation of people?
If we left Iraq now we'd be back in there in another 20 years tops. The important thing now is that we don't get cold feet and stay and finish the job. Not because of the oil, Afganistan doesn't have mad oil resouces and we stay there, I have a frined who just came back and he said there losing people like mad over there. But nobody wants to put that on TV, there is no political motivation for the liberal media to do so when they can say we lost another 12 guys in Iraq because of oil. Did anyone stop to think that as bad as the loss of our service men and women is, as this rate it will be years till we come close to even matching the numbers of lives lost on a single bad day in WW2?

Back on topic... this war sucks! I hate that Bush got us into this and that there is no actual plan for us leaving Iraq quickly. Actually there is no plan in place at all for us leaving. What does he care, he has no family over there in the armed services.
