"Why we did it" https://vimeo.com/88670339 https://vimeo.com/88670339 Oil. As in for "free market."

  I'm not going to go watch a propaganda video. How much oil did the U.S. steal from Iraq? Do you have an answer to that question or not?

    It's your turn now to give the reference for your claim, I've given mine. Alternatively, you'd have to specify what actually from that documentary isn't true, and given the high possibility of the authors to be sued, I'm quite sure they double checked their sources.

      What "claim"? That the U.S. didn't "steal Iraq's oil"? No, I don't have to watch your video to determine that this didn't happen. Nor does anyone else. Edit: can you point out to me on this chart where all the "stolen oil" shows up? https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MTTIMIZ1&f=M https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=M...

        See the video, the most of Iraq oil was taken over by western petrol companies and physically sold to Europe. And that's why you won't see much in the chart you quote. The video is much more nuanced than you imagine, as the goal was never to "steal the oil to bring it directly to the US" but merely to "control" the oil.
