Sorry to say.. but my idea right now is YOU have no CLUE.
RIGHT.... Excellent theory!! BECAUSE OSAMA BIN LADEN said so...Muslims did it.... LMFAO. APPLAUSE! GREAT FREAKN EVIDENCE.
Maybe if you include the APPLAUSE and CELEBRATION in the streets by some Muslims even here in the US when the Trade Centers came down....
Do you think I had put "PROOF" in quotation marks in my original post for a reason? Maybe knowing that people like you wouldn't take it as proof even though you are hearing it straight from the camel's mouth.
Thats it. I admit it. You've shown me the light. YOUR "PROOF" TO THE CONTRARY is OVERWHELMING ME!

Proof of Muslims doing 9/11? Do you remember Osama Bin Laden, glorious leader of AL QAEDA, claiming responsibility for 9/11? I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Eskimos. You've chosen to ignore the "proof" that it was perpetuated by Muslims obviously

The oil economist Dr Mamdouh Salameh, who advises both the World Bank and the UN Industrial Development Organisation (Unido), told The Independent on Sunday that the price of oil would now be no more than $40 a barrel, less than a third of the record $135 a barrel reached last week, if it had not been for the Iraq war.

Well we are losing a lot of money because Bush decided to attack Iraq. How awesome of us! Maybe we should keep lying to ourselves that it is more peaceful now then before. Like I said, take it from someone who has been to Iraq before and recently. Not the news that are lying about the surge working and us restoring what the Iraqi people want.
Yeah, I'm going to trust the "advice" of Dr. Mamdouh Salameh. Sounds like someone on OPEC's payroll anyway.....oh, and thats a Muslim sounding name. So his "opinion" might be a little slanted.
So, if not for the Iraq War, why is OPEC bending over countries that AREN'T in Iraq right now? A barrel of oil is not priced JUST for the US.
And, I'll say this one last time. Cut the crap with "BUSH DECIDED" to attack Iraq. The Congress approved it as well! (As well as with the approval of other world governments although that doesn't really matter) You act as if Bush did this alone when he did NOT.

Yeah, sure, I know. We funded all these whack-jobs. We also buy the only product they produce. Oil. If not for oil these people would still be burning camel dung for heat in their tents.
Do you seriously think the Muslims would have developed nukes, or, hell, even flew an airplane without technology provided by/stolen from the West? I know my history pretty well. Take it back a few thousand more years, and who has the history of being tyrannical and imperialistic? Who has a history where violence is the primary means of advancing their civilizations? If you said "Muslims", you would be right!
President Bush, last time I checked, HAS to run things like attacking another nation through Congress. (It wasn't the case with Clinton and bombing Serbia though, whose actions were so illegal that he had all participating USAF aircraft repainted in NATO or UN markings).
Lets not forget who controls Congress and the House these days. If you said "Democrats", DAYAAAM! Give yourself ANOTHER prize!
Nobody is 'oppressing' you except for yourselves by following your outdated religion. Why don't you update your religion into the current century.
author of "Saddam Hussein: The Politics of Revenge," has said that the CIA's role in the coup against Qassim was "substantial." The coup resulted in the return of Hussein to Iraq - he was immediately assigned to head the Al-Jihaz al-Khas, the clandestine Ba'athist Intelligence organisation. As such, he was soon involved in the killing of some 5,000 communists.
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein greets Donald Rumsfeld, then special envoy of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, in Baghdad on December 20, 1983. He gave him a pair of golden cowboy spurs - a present from Reagan.
This meeting took place before one of the most shocking war crimes since the second world war - Iraq's 1988 gassing of the Kurds in Halabjah. This meeting took place at a time when Iraq was first alleged to have used chemical weapons, and it paved the way for an official restoration of relations between Iraq and the US, which had been severed since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
In March 1984, with the Iran-Iraq war was in full swing, Rumsfeld was back in Baghdad for meetings with the Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz. On the day of his visit, March 24th 1984, UPI reported from the United Nations that mustard gas laced with a nerve agent has been used on Iranian soldiers.
It was Rumsfeld's trip to Baghdad which opened of the floodgates during 1985-90 for lucrative US weapons exports to Iraqi dictatorship - some $1.5 billion worth - including chemical/biological and nuclear weapons equipment and technology, along with critical components for missile delivery systems.
