133. And it was all about oil...

Edited on Thu Aug-19-10 04:16 PM by INdemo

Now that most Major Oil Companies have signed contracts with Iraq there is no reason to stay...And that is the reason we were there...
Remember the surge in troops and how all of a sudden the war had taken a turn in our favor..And how according to news reports the violence had dropped..Well ..the oil contracts were signed all of a sudden the so called surge worked and they started talking about withdrawal.only after the contracts were signed

And yes it has taken two years and that is unexplainable Why?
It was all about oil.........
