oil for freedom……….
It is said that Iraq has the second largest proven oil reserves on the planet. And with new exploration it is estimated that they will have proven reserves of 200+ billion barrels of high grade crude. The amount of natural gas reserves is in the trillions of cubic feet…………so they basically have alot of oil related resources to sell.
Now knowing that we did do them a favor by getting rid of that Saddam guy for them. Agree or not it is done, we are there and need to finish. But will gas around 4 bucks a gallon here you think it would be too much to ask that the Iraqi government give us a few million barrels of oil for FREE……just to help offset all the billions we have spent to let them bad mouth us about being there.
Even if they just sold the oil to us for say….25 bucks a barrel. That alone might lower the price of gas to maybe a buck twenty five a gallon. So why not pay back the American people for the money spent on the Iraq war?
The news recently talked about a new oil discovery here in the U.S. in Utah I believe and some neighboring states.
They think it is somewhere in the 80 billion barrels……
You think we will drill for that oil and use it to relieve our reliance on OPEC….I bet we don’t. Probably because some environmentalist wacko will find a purple backed, yellow spotted owl fairy shrimp and it will stop all exploration because there are only two in the world. And they must be protected no matter how it ruins our economy.
So back to Iraq….Do you think Iraq should give the U.S. a huge break on oil to repay us for what we did for them?
I do……
