    If you think it's ok to bomb the * out of a country on behalf of some * to enable him to make a little more money on top of the billions he has that is beyond repulsive .if you don't get that this is what is happening under the guise of fighting terrorism its quite sad .
    Not a single life is worth risking in order for an oil company to make money ,what do you find so objectionable about that?

    I never said it was ok :97:
    I said it had * all to do with any oil Syria was producing when YOU said it was to do with Cameron wanting to help the price of oil rise , something that is utter *. You have then went on to bring up empathy and Africa basically you have jumped all over the shop trying to prove Christ knows what tbh.

    It has everything to do with the oil Syria is producing, the first place they bombed was an oil field ffs . You can clearly see I used the African comparison to highlight the British goverments complete disregard for human suffering unless there is ££££'s to be had ,which is what this bombing was being sold as. manipulation of the oil price is the reason there is so many countries balls deep in syria why you are pretending it ain't is anyone's guess.no doubt the £1billion Cameron has set aside to rebuild Syria will be another factor . The fact people will have to lose their lives to dress this racket up as something else is disgusting

    No it really doesn't , as has been pointed out OPEC will dictate the price of oil, not the fact that some countries are bombing Syria. Its pretty straight forward really and I am not 'pretending' anything.
    As Kingpenman1 has said the reason the oil field was bombed was because ISIS are getting an income from it, no other reason and especially not to try and increase the oil price.
    You do know that we are likely to see further falls in the price of oil right .. Kinda hard to square that with your claim when the exact opposite is happening. Still , facts who needs them.

    The oil field was bombed because ISIS are profiting from it, no doubt about that.

    It was also bombed so that Western nations can go in after the fact and divvy up all the wee contracts to rebuild them and make themselves a pretty penny. That is indisputable.

    Like the guy said, terrorists have been slaughtering people all over Africa yet we don't go over there leveling towns and cities.

    Exactly as was done with Iraq? Bang on the money.

    Halliburton made over $17 billion in contracts to rebuild Iraq after the war, and it may have simply been a coincidence, but Vice-President to George Bush at the time, * Cheney, was Chairman and CEO of the company previously and stood to profit nicely from the contracts that were awarded.

    Even more dodgy is the fact that the contract was awarded on a no-bid basis, meaning Cheney's pals had zero competition for the Government money.

    DynCorp made over $1 billion from the rebuilding, and just so happen to have a former U.S. Department of Homeland Security security officer at its top table.

    No doubt we'll see companies with ties to prominent western Government officials at the forefront of Syrian "progress" as well.

    Hmm not so sure about the rebuilding Sean, given the Russians are all over assad, so the majority of rebuilding contracts may well be awarded to them once its all 'settled' in Syria tbh.
    I am not disputing what was said about africa. However that was brought into it after he made his initial claim that cameron wanted to bomb Syria to help drive the price of oil/fuel upwards on the forecourt, which is just not correct at all.

    @Tim

    Oh Assad will be next after IS have been dealt with.

    Then we will probably see the return of the Cold War (if it ever really went away).

    If what you're saying is true then why doesn't Britain get involved in the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria? Nigeria has far higher oil production than Syria, comfortably more than 10x as much, and it has the 10th highest oil reserves in the world (more than the USA and China!)...

    I'll say it again, Syria and it's oil sector has very little to do with the fluctuation in oil price.
