OK WARHAWKS, MOUNT UP, ANOTHER MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY TO KILL, WOO HOO!

We got this!

Lets go guys, I am sure we can discover a billion dollar mineral field, and then let them sell it to the Chinese like we did in Afghanistan!

I just applied for a job at Blackwater, and Xe international. The big winners!

Least we can do is keep the resources so many of some of our family members died for. Right? That is what it is about, unless you buy the freedom crap?

Who cares anymore? if they dont want relations with us, so be it. Theres little reasoning with countries that enforce things like sharia law. With nations that still live in the crusades as far as their social values are concerned. Countries that, to this day, desire to wipe Israel off the map for almost purely religious reasons, yet cry bloody murder when someone insults their religion. With many people who selectively interpret a religion and base a large chunk of their lives on it.

If they want to cut off ties, let them.

They do their own thing, with those relations as they think is necessary, as it has been in the foreseeable future.

That is more or less how I and I suspect a growing number of people in the UK feel.

Oil seems to be the root of all our international problems.

If the ME was not oil rich we would treat it with the same Who gives a hoot as we do Africa.

I know this sounds socialist, but we need to threaten subsidies on oil companies in order to give us first crack at whatever is drilled here.

Or create a nationalized energy system.

Oh how socialist :roll:, but far better than going to war every few years to secure our supply.

Or we can stop being so resistant to nuclear, wind, tidal, hydroelectric power etc..

Alot of these industries would be viable if not interfered with or spun by oil company lobbies, who love the subsidy tit they have here.

And get the tree huggers off nuclear. And fund more research into cold fusion and hybrid reactors.
I like what I see on hybrid reactors, as they are much easier brought under control, as they operate in a subcritical state, It also produces less waste. They can also be used to produce energy from the waste of typical Fission reactors. Meaning we do not have to bury and guard it for a half a million years.

We do have options. Just that those options do not jive with the "job creators" who own our government.

We can't do that. For good or ill, we have made Israel our chief ally in the region. Since that is the case, it is critical to our the interest of said ally that the new Egyptian government hold true to the terms of the 1979 peace treaty. Since rhetoric from the new government has seemed to place that treaty in danger, our continued diplomatic efforts in Egypt are forced. We simply must treat with them.

I would agree.

I'm so tired of people from the ME running their big mouths. I wish we didn't have military forces over there, then we could just about ignore everyone of them.

Can you describe your nations foriegn policy in Africa and can you guess what makes up 80% of the imports from sub saharan africa?
Though it must be said that the Chinese seem to be getting more and better deals. I suppose they must be out bidding America on that place you think they don't give a hoot about.

China already has all our jobs, handed to them on a silver platter by lobbyists and congress, they can have the resources too. After all, we gotta feed the blob.

What I was saying, that you do not see the military warhawk attention on Africa, in this country as you with the middle east.

You would understand if you lived here, but you make your living here trying to find stuff to disagree with me about.

Maybe if you buried someone you grew up with your whole life over an oil war, your tune would change.

Some of us are just utterly sick of being nothing more than a trough to feed off, be it lives or money.

Perhaps you should look more.
It was huge during the cold war, if fizzled on during the 90s and shot back up after 9/11.

China also bought that mineral field in Afghanistan that we found.

I bet someone got an addition to the house put on, a few someones I bet.

We are as corrupt as Iraq was. Maybe someone should worry about our weapons of mass destruction.

I am disgusted at times. Because I feel like I cannot change it.

I just want to be left alone, and leave others alone. Is that cowardly?

I mean if we are going to invade for resources, we should all at least share in the profit. Not just a select few, as they sell us out to a country who hates us, and will most likely invade us for fun. (China)

:har::har::har:

I think we just found our first budget cut!

China is not going to invade the US anytime soon they lack any form of long range transportation capability.Also we are their biggest customer.

The minerals in Afghanistan is nothing new the Soviet Union knew about them years ago before their war there.The reason that US mining companies got the shaft (so did Canadian ones the largest mineral company is a Canadian firm)id because the Afghan government is corrupt and Chinese,Russian and Iranian companies got in the best bribes.We choose long ago to more or less allow the corruption so the bad mineral deals are actually our own fault. Oops.Also the US and Canadian companies should have done better research and made their move as soon as they had the results of the US surveys had they offered the best bribe the situation would be reversed the value was already roughly known as I said the USSR was heavily invested in mining in Afghanistan going all they way back into the 1950's.
