BF2S Forums The War For Oil

There is nothing wrong with it, it means less oil for terrorists to fun themselves (still got saudi arabia but nothing we can do about that ATM) and maybe we can damage the other middle eastern oil industry and try and reduce terrorist funding a lot.

Its not about rich share holders. It's about asswipes like OBL not having the funds to build or buy nukes.

Google againe, but don't know what you mean, try again.

Then control the flow of money to terrorists better, it can be done.
Prevention is better than cure. Would you be happy to die for oil, no, sorry not oil but so the rich can have a even bigger mansion or their eighth car, or their nice exclusive fur coat, or a watch that costs more than some third world country's national economy.

How can it be done?
As far as the oil tycoons; they can have a splintery stick straight up their asses.

I don't have time to explain how it can be done (work calls boohoo) but google it and see how some Governments are tracking money, be more careful IT CAN BE DONE.
Oil is money, the people do not own the companies, rich people do, so who is to benefit?
If what you say is the case we need to invade Saudi Arabia as they are the biggest (private citizens) contributer to people like Bin-Ladin.
Have a nice day

Wars have been fought for economic reason throughout history, and it could be that the war in Iraq is no different.
Personally, I'm allright with it, as long as we are being honest with ourselves. This isn't just about freedom for the Iraqis, it's about making sure the worlds third largest oil supply doesn't fall into the hands of Islamo terrorist.
I'm okay with this. How about you?

You are having the right attitude ATG, you know why this war began in the first place and you aren't being hypocrite and you say "this war is about oil and I'm Ok with that".  Some of your leaders should do the same.

Are you guys familiar with the coal to oil program?

38 states in the U.S. have coal reserves (Source )http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/reser … ter1a.html
On an equivalent energy basis, we have a larger energy resource base of coal than the OPEC nations have of oil.

There are approximately 240 billion tons of recoverable coal in the US, equal to ¼ of the world’s coal reserves Coal will last twice as long as the combined crude oil and natural gas reserves at current usage rates. The price of coal is relatively stable compared to other fossil fuels due to its abundance.

I think it important to consider this as an alternative when you take into account Iran has told us that they will ensure CBL will be in excess of 110 USD if we continue to pursue sanctions.

It's not like we simply take the oil as our own.
