You get oil by buying it as the US has done, does, and will continue to do.

Now, you do go to war to ensure the free flow of something as vital as oil, but even that isn't the case here. Everyone in the Middle East who hates America is still more than happy to fill those barrels and send them to us for some American $$$. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Thank you Ronn, The easiest, Cheapest and Most COST effective way to get Iraqi OIL is to lift the sactions. Allow the free flow of Iraqi oil on the world markets. No expense of moving troops calling up reserves, traveling around the world on diplomatic missions, no having to buy weapons to replace the ones that were used in a war, just a simple nod of OK and you have lots of cheap oil! That's what a greedy country would do call for the lifting of sactions.
