Iraq is not about oil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the Iraq War is not particularly tailored to American interests.
We shouldn't be so dependent on foreign oil.
But the key thing is that Iraq, while it's got very large oil reserves, has marginalized itself as an oil exporter and these days its exports are only about one tenth that of neighboring Saudi Arabia.
We are not going to abandon Iraq.
We do not kill an Iraqi.
The Iraq war was not necessary.
No longer should we rely on oil from countries that are not necessarily friendly or democratic.
The Assad regime is quite reliant on oil exports.
Iraq has, in effect, one export of any consequence. That's oil.
Iraq is not occupied, but there are foreign forces on its soil, which is different.
