Barack Obama says American Alcohoilism is the Cause of Iraq War

Karen Fish | 06.02.2007 23:50 | World

The solution to our problems is simple.



According to Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama, American Alcohoilism is the root cause of the Iraq War, soon to be the Iran War. The immense, gluttonous, ridiculous over consumption of oil by the people of the United States of America is the root cause of the Iraq War said Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.

At the time that America went to war in Iraq Senator Barack Obama was a state legislator. He opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning unlike all of the other leading candidates from both parties who voted to go to war in Iraq proving that the color of your skin and long years of experience do not always translate into good foresight and wisdom. Yesterday Barack Obama addressed the DNC Winter Meeting. Here is a part of what Barack Obama said:

“We’ve got 130,000 Americans fighting halfway across the world in a war that should never have been waged, led by leaders who have no plan to end it. The decisions that we make in the next decade will determine the future of our children and the future of our grandchildren. The campaign, our mission is to figure out how we can do some good for this precious country and planet of ours. Our oil dependence is threatening not just our pocketbooks but the safety of our planet.”

Barack Obama blasted President Bush’s new war escalation and budget which asks for the American people to throw another trillion dollars after bad for the war in Iraq. This warmongering by George Bush is bankrupting health care, social security, education and creating a deficit which will lead to the bankruptcy of the country, leading to another great depression or runaway inflation.

The root cause of the Iraq War and the American dependence on other countries for oil is not a lack of domestic oil but an insane over consumption of oil by the people of the United States. This graph is worth a billion words and shows in one glance the amount of oil used every day by every country on the planet earth. Look at it, click on it NOW to understand the root cause of the Iraq War.  http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_oil_con-energy-oil-consumption

The people of the United States of America consume 20 million barrels of oil each and every day, far in excess of any other nation on Earth. For the past 5 million years before a hundred years ago our ancestors used zero oil. Russia and India use 2 million barrels of oil per day. Indonesia with nearly the same population as the U.S. uses 1 million barrels of oil per day. Laos and many other countries use 3 thousand barrels of oil per day.

Now look at this chart of exports and production of oil by every country on Earth.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_exports_and_production_of_oil_by_nation This chart shows that Saudi Arabia exports 9 million barrels of oil more per day than it imports. On the other end of the scale the United States the world’s largest polluter by far imports 12 million barrels of oil per day on top of the 5 million barrels per day we produce domestically in the United States. The Iraq desert is capable of producing 2 million barrels of oil per day at a cost of $1 per barrel and this is why the United States invaded Iraq, to steal their oil. Every one of the 1.3 billion Muslim people on Earth knows this. The Iraq War and Iran War exit strategy is for the people of the United States of America to over the next year cut back on our ridiculous over consumption of oil to 2 million barrels of oil per day.

Russia and China consider Iran to be their own backyard. They are both going to back Iran just like they backed tiny North Vietnam to defeat the United States, when the United States attacks Iran. Russia and Iran have half of the world’s oil and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Russian President Vladimir Putin just announced their own gas OPEC. Russia, the Soviet Union, the long time enemy of the United States is building the Iranian nuclear reactor in Busheher Iran and the Soviet Union just delivered $1 billion worth of advanced surface to air missiles to Iran to protect it.

Yesterday Senator Barack Obama said, “Our oil dependence is threatening not just our pocketbooks but the safety of the planet.” The American dependence upon foreign oil because of our ridiculous over consumption of oil every day caused the Iraq War, is leading to the Iran War and then to nuclear world war 3, the extinction of life one earth in nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath nuclear winter then ultraviolet summer aka Mad, Mutually Assured Destruction. Furthermore the burning by the United States every day of 20 million barrels of oil, the American Alcohoilism is a leading cause of the impending global warming catastrophe when Antarctica, Greenland and the Arctic ice continents melt and the earth’s one Ocean rises permanently 50 feet, permanently submerging the United States under 50 feet of water. The United States is like a codeine addict thinking that the solution to his problems is to break into a drug store and steal the pills.

The real solution to our war and global warming problems is to eliminate our consumption of oil completely. Our ancestors did fine without it for five million years. Why are SUV’s legal? Why isn’t it a law that every American must drive a Smart Car or an electric car or an ethanol car which runs on corn or a fuel cell car which runs on water and emits only water vapor or ride a bicycle? Think of the reduction in oil consumption. Think of the end of the need to colonize the Middle East. Ford Motors is now approaching bankruptcy and Japanese Toyota just reported record sales and profit because of the difference in their cars’ gas mileage. Isn’t it about time that we as American people took the fifth step at Alcohoilics Anonymous and admitted to God, to ourselves and to everyone else the exact nature of our wrongs, that we drank too much oil, and isn’t it about time that we as Americans stopped needlessly drinking so much oil? Our very existence and the continued existence of life on Earth depends upon it said Senator Barack Obama yesterday. It’s just plain common sense. We know how much war costs in dollars and lives lost. How much money will peace save the American taxpayers, who are being taxed out of their minds by the hidden George Bush War Tax, which just went up another trillion dollars yesterday?

stop blaming the victims

I find it ironic how easy it is to blame americans for dependance on oil. First of all what chocie do we have? We have not been given alternatives that are affordable. It is the government and corporations that are to blame. They are quite capable of making alternative fuel sources for our vehicles and heating our homes. Many of these new technologies can be had, consider they can make a robot that can negoitiate itself on mars, they could of found alternatives along time ago.

They are making too much money and have too much in stock on oil , they would lose alot of money if they funded or allowed altenate fuels to come up to speed. also I believe that global warming is bogus. There are other possible causes of rising oceans in many areas and for so called melting ice, if in fact they really are melting more than usual. I mean we have been only monitering weather and climate (using technology that didn't exist 100 years ago) for about 120 years approx. And the fact they keep changing their minds over and over to how fast things are happening. They have absoluting no evidence (using sound science) that any of this is happening or will. In new orleans they would of stated that global warming is causing the land there to dissappear of one baseball size very year. When in fact it is dredgeing the area so cargo ships, aka oil tankers can navigate the waters. as a result the coast is dissappearing.

IN north carolina they aren't saying global warming is causing the changes in their outer banks due to much of it is natural and man made due to removing sand and moving it around with dredges. but I bet if I read a foreign newspaper they would say that was one evidence of global warming. And the fact they keep pushing it on tv over and over and in the magezines newspapers tells me it is probably bogus due to the fact they refuse to let other alternative explanations to be shown to let people make up their own minds.

when I was a teenager it was global cooling and they said it was inevitable, and that the evidence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt it will happen by the year 2000. Well they were lying deliberatly for some hidden agenda. It was acid rain all the time on the news and in national geographic and other magezines. But no one could make any money on it so it died, and yet acid rain is still a problem. No one pays attention due to they get most of their info on the tv news which is not designed for education but rather manipulation.

And I also have seen articles like time life books where they said the earth used to be much warmer than now, this book was around when I was a kid and I read it in a library. They found orange trees frozen solid in siberia. They found frozen mammoths, one which was a baby that it's flesh was edible on thawing. I believe that warming would be beneficial, as the winters would get more milder especially for the poor russians who have half of their country frozen solid half the year. So global warming is a scare tactic to get some hidden agenda passed such as taxes on everything dealing with gas or oil. This is so some poor rulers in other countries can have access to our hard earned wealth without lifting a finger to solve their own economic problems there.

It is to make us poorer too so we cant acquire wealth, It is no coincidence that in the 80's and early 90's the wealth of americans were getting higher and higher and the wealthy elite has no desire to see more wealthy poor people get wealthier creating competition with their sense of superiority. Why do you think they are so determined to get rid of property rights and the right to own property such as land, minerals and other precious metals? They want a monopoly on everything and they are using taxes to take wealth away under the guise of making life better for other poor people or for enviromental reasons which are bogus. They don't care about poor people or the enviroment. It is a purly selfish poly to get consenses so they put into force their selfish agendas.

Thanks.
