Why is it assumed by some that this war is "all about oil"?

The United States has plenty of oil right here.....and we've other countries that we get oil from as well. We don't need their stinkin oil!

Stop with the "oil" shit! It's about a tyrant! A nut job! A man who walks in the shadow of the likes of Adolf Hitler! For all we know he has a shrine to Hitler in his bedroom. OK...that was a personal opinion.....but you get my drift.

We don't go to war for oil! That is such an absurd assumption. Next thing ya know it'll be said we are at war because of Bush's daddy! Oh, wait.....that has been said. Pfffffft! We are at war against the Iraqi leadership.......not to get their oil.....but to free the Iraqi people from a madman and his followers. I think, when all is said and done, we will have helped to find peace in a country run for entirely too long by a self serving maniac!
And we will free Iraq and the world of a "second
coming". <----Hitler reference!

*Steps off the soapbox* Whew! Sorry for the rant......

BTW Steve........I don't know about anyone else but nearly every other channel I turn to here has protestors from here and worldwide all over it. As a matter of fact........I am exhausted and amazed at just how much coverage we are privvy to. There are some things I just don't need to know! I feel like......if we know all the ins and outs......then so too does the "enemy" just by tuning into our full coverage! The media really has jumped in deep this time. I'm trying to keep a perspective and not get caught up on sides. I just had to mention my view on the need for oil.

*curtsey* I appologize for going off the original topic! *hugs*
