Do you not think I'm aware of what I'm doing? This is a posting board based out of Calgary for heavens sake...Talk about walking into the lions den.
I don't have a goal of changing anybody's mind, I know that's impossible. Just one thing though, calling people conspiracy theorists time after time eventually starts to make an argument look insecure.

There wasn't an economic incentive oil and gaswise to invade Iraq for the US and that's all I was speaking to. If you want to argue the oil economics in Iraq then take that on straight up.
You also make the mistake of holding up a 'degree' as a sum of one's knowledge. My formal education taught me only a drop in the bucket of what I know now about Oil and Gas. A degree only means that you were bright enough to get through the many exams, projects, and papers thrown at you. It tells employers and others in the world that you have the capacity to learn even more and apply your learnings in a constructive way, but speaks nothing to what you really actually know. Believing otherwise would indicate a lack of experience in life beyond graduation where CEO's, Prime Minister's, Presidents and other high flyers all have similar levels of formal education compared to a large number of people, but yet are more accomplished and have the propensity to accomplish more in the future than their peers.
