So, where's all the extra oil Bush went in to Iraq for
You can ask the same question about OUR own oil itself. Why aren't we producing enough oil from our Own reserves to cover our needs? we have the reserves, why aren't we producing from it what we need instead of importing almost 50% of our needs?
Once we are there, it is now "Our" reserves (or so we think), why should we deplete it so fast. remember as a child, when you let everyone eat their sweets first so you will be the last one enjoying it while the rest just looking and drooling? same thing.
The drop in our imports from there is intentional not accidental.
There is more to our going there than that, but that is part of it.
But nobody brings that up now, we all just forget about the oil thing, or just keep living in ignorance.
No one forgot and we are not ignorant, we just pretend to be. but THEY, in the Middle East, know all about it.
