    and there is 0 evidence to the contrary.

    As I’ve mentioned previously, during official news conferences officials have stated the need to protect the oil supply and the access to it.

    Not only am I not a bot, im old enough to remember “no blood for oil” protests and how dumb and distracting they were from legitimate reasons not to engage in ME war.

    As someone who is also old enough to remember those kind of protests, and the embargos, etc., I agree. Fighting over resources is not healthy, and that resources should be shared instead.

    Your conspiracy theory has gotten people killed

    Its not a conspiracy theory, its what drives the politics in the ME, on multiple levels. And its not my theory, its what the majority of people have decided on (the importance of oil).

      Fighting over resources is not healthy

      This is quite false, but the US generally uses soft power for oil.
