Chef Jim Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Come on guys, don't ruin my !@#$ing weekend.
IDBillzFan Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 The White House just announced to Iran that the US is sorry for our actions in the Middle East, and to prove the war in Iraq wasn't about oil, has told Iran they can keep the well.
PastaJoe Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Wouldn't have happened if we had stayed out of Iraq and left them with their army as a strong counter force to Iranian influence in the region. Now they can't even defend their own oil fields. More consequences of a war of bad choice.

drnykterstein Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 You're absolutely right. Iraq-Iran border disputes never happened before the war. Right.. he said in his post that previously Iraq had an actual army with which to fight back. Learn to read.
DC Tom Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Right.. he said in his post that previously Iraq had an actual army with which to fight back. Learn to read. Yes, he said that. And no, they didn't.
drnykterstein Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 It seems likely you are right. This is a pretty funny quote from the article "What happens is, periodically, about every three or four months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go ... to fix something or do some maintenance. They'll paint it in Iraqi colours and throw an Iraqi flag up. "They'll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about three months ago and it will probably happen again."
