I don’t think things panned out as they’d hoped.
Oh?  Why not?  The thing is if you want to ensure a good and steady flow of oil from somewhere it’s best not to plunge that somewhere into a state of war and chaos.  Hence why I don’t believe oil was the motivating factor.

Do you really think that the US administration envisaged war and chaos or did they envisage a something similar to the smooth hand over of power as happened during the coup in Iran in 1953 ?

I don’t know - did the USA drop 10000 tons of bombs on Tehran?  I wasn’t born then so perhaps you can enlighten me.

You really should learn your history ( NB you don’t need to be alive to know it ).

The US gets only a very small percentage  its oil from Iraq or Libya so I think that is a bit of a red herring.

No red herrings, they stole a lot of oil in the name of payment towards saving them poor souls from  erm... the boogie man. Big bad Muslim talibanies

Saddam Hussein was assassinated without trial. Nice work Tony.

I cried when I saw on BBC live (they showed it live- I saw it on tape years later) the OMG wow its shock and awe  and whooo look at those bombs dropping.  whooplah we are winning a war!  It was PR and a disgrace! slaughter of the innocents.

   erm did anyone see the dead children who didn't declare war?

You likened US actions in Iraq with their part in the downfall of the Iranian regime, saying that the US hoped it would all work out the same way, and I’m asking - did that involve declaring war on Iran  and a massive blitzkrieg of missiles plunging the country into chaos and destruction?  A simple yes or no will suffice.

How much oil did the US steal?  Was it a lot more than this?
“The U.S. alone spent $60 billion over nine years — some $15 million a day — to rebuild Iraq”

If so, kindly provide the cite.
Moreover what the heck is the Donald talking about here if the oil has already been stolen?

Different time, different method...the same hoped for result. You really should look it up.

I thought American didn’t need Iraq’s oil.

This is Trump in  2016, according to you and Misstaken the US already got their hands on it and that’s why they bombed the hell out of Iraq?

I asked you how plunging a country into physical chaos and destruction by bombing it is conducive to keeping the oil flowing to the US.  You then compared it to Iran in the 50s where there was no declaration of war and no bombing. therefore IMo no comparison.

That’s not what I said ( you seem to be making a habit of misquoting me). I said that was the intention..of course the reality turned out to be somewhat different.

Miss Taken claimed the USA stole Iraq’s oil.  You are claiming they would have stolen it if it hadn’t been for what I don’t know.
