Iran is next...
if you think for one hot second that Britain and the USA are cozy allies think again. Its pure economics my friend. Their ass is very much invested in the dollar....about third on the list of total investments. I know Brits as a whole they would drop your ass in a hot second if it meant saving their own ass... It all economic why they are in Iraq. Trust me.

5. In anticipation of a post-political
appointment w/The Carlyle Group? Greed and avarice.
Hey, RONSTOO, I don't doubt that is or ever was the intent.

3. In reality the Brits hate us
as an example if you lived in Europe or Britain and paid high taxes in addition to paying $ 6-7 /gal gas would you be proud to say you emulate America while your ass lives a conservative lifestyle in Europe?


Why hell the fuck no.


wake up America.

7. *coughs* Britain is part of Europe... And
if a European "hates the US" it's not because we are paying high taxes while living a conservative lifestyle - there are wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for example *hint*. What IS a conservative lifestyle, by the way?

6. Yes, I guess war is usually about money, isn't it?
Iraq, now Iran, leading the way to end the dollar's supremacy and Western control of oil trading. Their oil reserves made/make them a real threat to pull it off.
