The only problem I can see with taking Iraqi oil is the French and Russians are owed billions of dollars worth of oil (contracts with Saddam)<---which is also the reason why they did not want us to engage war with Iraq (Saddam owe's them billions).
Taking their oil would surely help the cost of the war and lower our debt dramatically. I say payoff the Russians with oil money and screw the French! |
