When we heard Berkley was trying this, believe me, we laughed our asses off, sat back, and let nature take its course.
Well, y'all might want to check out the news from here after 2/12. There will almost certainly be some "new developments" as they say.

"...I forget who it was in the US Congress that called Marines "Jack Booted thugs" or something like that in the 1990's, but she lost here seat and had to leave the state over the uproar..."
G. Gordon Liddy Made a comment of that sort regarding the ATF officers who went into Waco Texas, the result was his show was pulled from some markets. I believe he also gave advice on where to aim when shooting an officer wearing a bullet proof vest. Frankly, I kinda like Liddy.

I used to listen to Liddy on the radio. He's kind of a likable homicidal maniac. 
p.s. I also like Marines a lot. They're good guys, plus they usually get the shittiest assignments, which meant the Army doesn't have to do them.

You know, I used to ask them about that- the locals that is. It was amazing the comments I received but no one ever actually accused us of that. Though a lot thought the oil was in the long term plan. Most were more worried about the Kurds and the Iranians getting the oil than us doing it.

Yes that is amazing. One would expect occupied people to be really up front about how they feel.
I expect the only people who want you to leave are a few Al Quaida deadenders?

Which is precisely what they are doing.

Do you really think that the Iraqis are so dumb that they would say anything negative in face of an armed yank. They would most likely be killed instantaneously.

all oil is stolen from mother nature. look at the damage done by oil, the intrusvive pipelines, tanker spills, upsetting the natural envioment, pollution, etc etc, 'stealing' oil from the 'natives' is just another notch of the negatives of the greed to fuel mankinds hedonistic lifestyle. however, look at the positives of it all, american jumbo jet travel, A/C hotels you know stuff like that. that said its perfectly reasonable to question american ethics/foreign policy but does that stop anyone using oil derived products not knowing exactly where the oil was sourced. we're all guilty of the relentless supply and demand. the american war machine is simply honoring our insatiable thirst for the stuff!
