1 - Has the Iraqi oil been stolen?

I don't know.....do you?


There is no evidence that it has been stolen (except in the sense of Saddam using the oil revenue to build places and WMD instead of using for his people), and there is no reasonable cause to think that the US has now stolen the oil fields, do you maintain that we have? If not then there is no point in bringing up the accusation or implication. If yes I would ask you to support the assertion that we have stolen the oil/oil fields/ oil revenue.

Our gov't is covert.......its not about to disclose to the world its full intentions. Therefore, you are dependent on the gov't actions and what were the decisions leading to those actions.

Huh? This doesn't seem to be an argument that is all about Iraqi oil, in fact it doesn't seem to be that coherent of a statement. I suppose it could mean that when evaluating ideas about the plans and intentions of the government we have to examine its actions. If that's what you mean, then I would say the actions give little reason to think that we're in this to take control of oil.
