Explain to us again how high oil prices were directly attributable to the Iraq War, you retarded simpleton. Another intelligent fagboy comment!Jesus H Christ...if you do not understand supply and demand by now. Me explaining it to you will not help at this late date.

I guess had we went (sic) to war with Iran in the last 6 months you'd predict the price of oil would not be effected.
as horrible as Saddam was to his people, he kept the oil flowing for the most part. Originally Posted by southtown4488No he didn't. In the years prior to the 2003 invasion, Saddam's ability to export oil was crimped by UN sanctions imposed because he kept thumbing his nose at weapons inspections, etc. The sanctions were only partly eased in 2006 under the UN Oil for Food Program, allowing Iraqi output to recover until that program was tainted by corruption, kickbacks and scandal.

Go back to my post #67. Iraq produced 1.3 million bpd in 2003 when the war started. Production rose steadily and reached 3.0 million bpd a decade later. Those are FACTS. More Iraqi oil reached the market once Saddam was ousted.

you don't want to give Ronald Reagan any credit for winning the Cold War. Originally Posted by lustyladI gave Reagan credit. Read below. I've always given him credit for cutting and running
I gave Reagan credit for cutting and running after Beirut.
He could have countered and spent trillions in region like Bush. He did not...very smart.
I give him credit for raising taxes on SS to cut our debt. It looks like another President will have to do the same in the future as no one seems willing to cut/pay for our current rate of spending towards the military.
Hell i give him credit for dealing with the Iranians and sell them arms!
I will deal with the rest of your distortions whether i get to my computer. Originally Posted by WTF

The Iraq War INCREASED global oil supplies, thereby EASING upward pressure on prices, not vice versa.We did not have to go to war with Iraq to increase their global output! Fuck man....we could have just lifted the sanctions....like Obama did with Iran.

Meanwhile, during the same period (2003-2013) world oil consumption increased from 80 million bpd to 90 million bpd. So what happened in Iraq was overwhelmed by other supply/demand factors that - on balance - drove global oil prices higher. Only a simple-minded idiot, blinded by partisan hatred and eager to blame Bush for everything, would claim, as your libtarded butt buddy WTFagboy did, that high oil prices were "directly attributed to the Iraq War".
