"Nobody,not even the mighty USA can steal another country's oil."

Really? We could force a coup in Columbia and carve a whole new country out of the northern Columbian province and create Panama, to secure our rights to a canal. We could overthrow a democracy in Iran and install and support a brutal dictator to secure the oil supplies from that country. We could arm Saddam Huessein throughout the 1980s and look the other way as he amassed troops on the border with Kuwait, which he subsequently invaded, then we reacted to the invasion and as a result were able to permanently station our troops in that vital oil region. What leads you to believe that the U.S. isn't beyond or capable of stealing another country's oil? It looks like that's exactly what we're currently doing in Iraq. Where is all that oil revenue from Iraq going these days anyway? Anyone know?
