When people think about the War on Iraq, the first reason many come to is Oil. Most people believe that the only reason why the U.S is at war is because the U.S is desperate for oil. On Friday, presidential candidate John McCain, made a statement regarding the war on Iraq being connected to oil. McCain stated that the U.S is only interested on the oil in the Middle East. After making this statement he then made another statement saying that the press and the public had misinterpreted what he said. McCain defended himself by declaring his policies if he were in office. McCain states “My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East”. It is clear to see that one of the main reason of the Iraqi war is because the U.S is so dependant on oil. McCain explained that the U.S had attempted and succeeded from having Saddam Hussein gaining total control of foreign oil. McCain also stated that the United States may be capable of staying in Iraq for as long as no Americans’ are hurt, he stated that if the U.S would have to stay for 100 years, they will stay and fight for those 100 years
