Is It Really About the Oil?

by Just the Facts
Many people assume that the war is really about oil. While there can be no doubt that the lure of the Middle East to Britain, Europe and America has always been primarily the oil, I think it's safe to say it's not worth rushing into war for oil based on the facts below. The theory that it's really a war that Zionists in American government want for Israel and Zionists' sake makes more sense, horribly so.

"The oil “giant” Saudi Arabia supplies 15% of US oil imports, only marginally more than Venezuela and Canada. Mexico, the fourth biggest supplier to the US,
provides 12%. The other major oil suppliers to the US are, in order of importance: Nigeria, Iraq, Colombia, Norway, the UK and Angola. " This is from an article on the website http://www.greenleft.org.

Obviously, Bush's push for war has to be more than just about Iraq's oil, more than just about "Iraq is a threat to the US" even though it is half around the world away with a shadow of the military weaponry it had in 1998 according to people like Scott Ritter, and more than Daddy Bush's supposed frustrated wish to take out Hussein, and obviously nothing to do with setting up a "democracy" in Iraq or caring two figs about the Iraqi people.

Face it. The obvious reason for war on Iraq now, is because Israel is pushing for it. Israel wants to US to fight all it's self-made enemies (who could possibly be friends with the likes of the Zionists who have stolen the Palestinian's homeland, and continue an on-going ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people, and who started the Six Day War in 1967, stealing more land from its neighbors, etc, etc, it's encyclopedic!). Israel wants to be in control of the Middle East "for the US"--- NOT! I don't trust Israel one little bit! Israel would turn on the US in a heartbeat if it could. Zionists are just using the US for their own completely selfish racist reasons--- for a Jewish supremacist empire, fueled by American dollars, and American lives. Can I put it anymore bluntly?

We the people must put an end to the rapacious Zionist influence on American politics and policies, especially in US foreign policy! Zionism is the ugliest form of racism today in the the world and bringing us to WWIII. We must stand up and say NO to all racism! No US support, no tax dollars and no diplomatic support of Israel in the UN, not until it is transformed into a true democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion, etc. No racist / religious ideology must be allowed to affect US policies!

I've never seen a tail wagging the dog.
The divers think tanks of the US ruling classes know their long term interest good enough not to let them be influenced by the interests of a puppy state.
Zionist leaders from the beginning used the interests of colonial states (GB and France) and after the Suez war of the USA Governments to pursue their own interests. But that doesn't mean that they have made the politics ot these states.
by No War for Zionists!
FYI: Top oil suppliers to the US in order of importance: Saudi Arabia, Venezuela & Canada tie in 2nd place, Mexico, Nigeria, Iraq, Columbia, Norway and Angola.
