I was making a statement on why we're in the Middle East to begin with. If you can't make the connection, then that's your stupidity, not mine. Let me break it down for you Einstein,...
We want the oil--- to get that oil we need more control of the area--- we do that by extending our influence there---

Too bad it's America fucking up the rest of the world... Bush has successfully ruined what past presidents have worked so hard at accomplishing, and he managed to make America the most loved country into the most hated one... after 9/11 the entire world had sympathy for us... now they realize that our government is just after its own self-interests... if its in our best interests for a country to have a dictator, then that country will have one... if its in our best interests to get rid of that dictator then we will get rid of him... we don't give a fuck about the people, it's all about the money.... and like every great empire in the past, we're self-destructing ourselves... look at the economy...

Look at the economy? Sure thing. I know it's hard, but you need to try to stop talking out of your ass about things you don't know anything about. Just because you hear people preaching doom and gloom on CNN dosen't mean you have to belive them.
Jobless Claims Fall, Inflation Stays Low

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. jobs market is showing signs of improvement and inflation remains low in the economy outside the energy sector, government reports on Thursday said.
The number of Americans filing an initial claim for jobless benefits fell last week to the lowest level since early February, the Labor Department said, a hopeful sign for job seekers.
Underlying inflation, stripping out volatile food and energy costs rose 0.1 percent in September, in line with expectations. Over the last 12 months, the core CPI has risen just 1.2 percent, the smallest increase since February 1966, the department said.
"By and large these numbers so far today show a strong economy," said Pierre Ellis, senior international economist at Decision Economics.
First-time filings for state unemployment aid fell 4,000 last week to 384,000 from the previous week. The number was broadly in line with analysts' expectations that claims would be 388,000.
"The jobless numbers were certainly encouraging. We got a decline and it suggests that the labor market is recovering," said Parul Jain, Nomura Securities International.
It was the second week in a row that claims came in under 400,000. Economists say claims above 400,000 suggest a deteriorating jobs market.
The drop also brought a decline in the closely watched four-week moving average of initial filings, seen as more reliable because it irons out weekly fluctuations.
The department said the average fell 4,250 to 390,750, also the lowest since early February.
While the report suggested layoffs are slowing, it also showed unemployed workers are still having a tough time finding new jobs. For the week ended Oct. 4, the number of Americans claiming benefits after filing an initial claim climbed 58,000 to 3.67 million.
The labor market has lagged other areas of the economy. But recent reports have been encouraging for job seekers. In September, the economy created 57,000 new jobs, the first increase in eight months.
INFLATION AS EXPECTED
Analysts said the inflation report was consistent with expectations and recent reports indicating inflation is low.
"Underlying inflation has clearly stabilized. Meanwhile concerns that inflation will decelerate much further are eased by the fact that some service prices continue to rise quite sturdily," said Ellis.
The overall Consumer Price Index, the most widely used gauge of U.S. inflation, rose 0.3 percent in September, just above analysts' forecasts for a 0.2 percent climb.
Helping to boost the overall number was a 6.3 percent increase in gasoline prices, the fastest pace since a 9.9 percent jump in February. Energy costs were up 3.0 percent.
Among the core rate, clothing prices rose 0.5 percent in September, the largest increase in over a year. But new car prices fell 0.4 percent, the largest drop since the beginning of the year, and airline fares sank 1.8 percent.
A separate report from the Commerce Department showed companies continue to pare inventories. Stocks at U.S. businesses in August dropped a larger-then-expected 0.4 percent, reflecting a large drop in automobile stocks.
