Or, we could always uncap those wells in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It happens to be the 3rd largest crude oil pool on the face of the earth. Plenty capable of satisfying the U.S. oil demand for the next 200+ years factoring in future demand. Too bad it'll never happen until the Petro Dollar collapses. As long as there is big money to be made in the middle east, we will remain in this useless war at the expense of the lives of thousands of Americans.

If I actually thought for a second the war was about nothing but oil, I wouldn't have a truck at all. Being that you seem to feel the war exists for oil, maybe you should consider why you think your truck is more important than a persons life.

But if you look at statistics, we've never got much oil from Iraq. Having a neighbor that liked to rattle his sabre, it's fairly safe to say that Saudi and Kuwait would have sold us all the oil we wanted as long as we kept Saddam out of their countries.

Not trying to be a smart *** (or maybe I'm not understand what you're saying), but we didn't spill our blood sweat and tears for your "life/taps" we spilt it for each other......May sound cruel to you guys but once your in a combat zone you could give two *****s about the people back home, or what happened to get you into where your at now.....its all about what your doing at the time and who you're with
