re: #16 Dark_Falcon

It’s more than a stretch, its outright baloney. Even to attribute Iraq to oil interests misses the mark. Stewart is simply in error on that point.

If you go with the straight interpretation that they’re “wars for oil,” yeah, I’d agree. But when you consider the military commitment we’ve got going in both wars, in terms of airpower, naval forces, and mobile infantry and armor, these wars have contributed to our growing oil consumption. Not to mention the oil needed to manufacture more ammunition and weapons, more food and necessities, and transport is all from the factory to the soldier.
