    never disagreed with that. To the contrary.

    Do you see what Assad is? what Saddam was? what Ghadafi was? US still deposed them.

    do you know why? the 3 latter were not US puppets.
    What the fck does that matter?
    They were ruthless killers THAT KEPT ORDER.

    We get that. That's why the first Bush did not over run Baghdad.
    So what do you do for Egypt?
    What would your first step be?
    Do you think this is easy, there is some sort of cookbook?

    Turkey had its own revolts with a very different outcome compared to Egypt, the military kept its distance in Turkey.
    They have a relatively mild mannered leader. The US would call him repressive.

    Iran has some very repressive ways with a big Western desire. They have a very rich history of progress from the past. Persian Shiites that had their own little problem v. Non sectarians with very diff results.

    Then throw in what Shiites have done to Sunnis and vice versa... Can get very messy if these sects have a history of strife in some particular region. Iran and Turkey avoided this component. Egypt did to some degree.

    The last time i visited the Middle East, the only radio i heard all day in the car was either about some bombing (in some M East country) or Qatar spending a bomb on the FIFA world cup.

    Pretty sad that screening movies are banned in like 90% of the Middle Eastern countries. They literally have no entertainment, so they either shop all weekend or go to Dubai to drink. What they do have however is money and lots of it. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait & Qatar invest public money in Silicon Valley, Automobile Industry & Food Processing.

    They however couldn't give s about Africa & Poverty though. I may be wrong but have those countries ever donated money?

    This thread should be locked for two weeks and reopened when Obama gets back from Martha's Vineyard.

    The U.S. Airstrikes in Northern Iraq Are All About Oil

    What Obama left unsaid was that Erbil, a city of 1.5 million, is the capital of the Kurdish regional government and theadministrative center of its oil industry, which accounts for about a quarter of Iraq’s oil. The Kurds claim that if they were to become an independent state, they would have the ninth-largest oil reserves in the world. And oil wells are near Erbil.If the Islamic State were to take over Erbil, they would endanger Iraq’s oil production and, by extension, global access to oil. Prices would surge at a time when Europe, which buys oil from Iraq, has still not escaped the global recession.

    Oil prices have already risen in response to the Islamic State’s threat to Erbil, and on Thursday, American oil companies Chevron and Exxon Mobile began evacuating their personnel from Kurdistan. But oil traders are predicting that American intervention could halt the rise.

    “In essence we find U.S. air strikes more bearish than bullish for oil as the act finally draws a line for IS and reinforces both the stability in south Iraq and in Kurdistan,”

    If the Obama administration wanted to prevent the world’s peoples from brutal dictators and repressive regimes or from takeovers by terrorist groups, there are other countries besides Libya and Iraq where it could intervene. What distinguishes these two countries is that they are major oil producers.

    No its not about oil, ask the Shiites:

    Mr. Askari accused the Obama administration of being interested only in “protecting the Kurdish regional government and Christians, not the rest of Iraq.”

    “Iraqis must rely on themselves and their genuine friends, like Iran and Russia, who have supported Iraq in its battle against ISIS,” he said. Russia has sent Sukhoi aircraft to the Iraqi forces, and Iran has trained and financed militia forces and sent advisers.

    NY times


    This is just fantastic. Once ISIS has slowed down and the Shiites gain more arms, we can have a 3 way like the Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnians.

    And the "help" from Iraq's real friends has really been effective so far... ISIS ran through Russian supplied Iraq like it was deserted land.

    Oil is ALWAYS a huge, and nearly always PRIMARY factor in the M/E for all non-M/E countries, esp UK and US.

    The fracking you hate so much, take a drive to Corpus Christi along 37 and give me a comparison. It's not just natural gas that comes out of those wells it's oil.

    so M/E oil price, supply to USA ISN'T why the Repugs invaded Iraq, isn't why USA has occupied Saudi Arabia for 20 years. isn't why US/EU got involved in oil/gas-rich Libya revolution?

    USA is bombing ISIS to protect the large number US oil people in the Kurdish region.

    And what does "We produce more oil than any other country" have to do with the thread?

    You telling us Drill Here, Drill Now has made USA independent of world oil supply, prices?

    So if they were American Doctors Without Borders we would hang them out to dry?


    Of course Americans are helping Kurds with oil, we know more about extracting and processing oil far better than any other country. We have a huge number of people that know oil.
    Who are you going to call to maintain your oil fields or boost production, Russians?
    We are the EXPERTS. We have independent oil people all over the world giving advice because THEY KNOW the job.
