Do you believe the US would invade North Korea if they had substantial oil reserves?

No. They would put up a real fight and we couldn't afford it. Plus South Korea wouldn't put up with it. Japan wouldn't want it and China would tell Bush to back off or they will cash out thir stock of US Bonds and crush our economy. (We are financing this crusade in the Middle East through debt and China and other nations are buying our debt. That's why we don't mind China being communist but give Cuba a hard time.)


No we pick on countries we feel won't put up resistance like Vietnam or Iraq. Pretty smart policy right?Do you believe the US would invade North Korea if they had substantial oil reserves?
in a heart beat.Do you believe the US would invade North Korea if they had substantial oil reserves?
we would invade them if they had nuclear weapons.
don't be silly


some lass on here last week said the best thing ever!


America is not about oil


after 2ND world war she could have kept Japan %26amp; Germany even Afganstan %26amp; even Iraq if she wanted to keep it


but she helped Japan %26amp; Germany back onto their feet spending heaps of money to do it %26amp; she is trying to help Afganstan %26amp; Iraq to do likewise


its not the oil people need to know that! Gee she could have wiped all these places off the map if she wanted to get oil


but that is not her aim
I think we would invade Mars if there where oil reserves. It would be cheaper than what oil we have gotten from Iraq.
no..bomb it maybe but invade..no
Not if they have nukes and a strong army, it wouldn't. Iraq was very weak after years of sanctions. A military pushover. That's partly why the U.S. government was so eager to invade. Easy prey.
No. Canada has major oil reserves, as well as Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Venezuela. We don't war on countries because they have oil, we war on countries because they are our enemy.
Hi,





Not even the chimp would be dumb enough to try that, as we would have China involved in a heart beat and bush has proved he cannot manage basic skirmishes in the occupation of Iraq, let alone a real full scale war with China involved.





bush is more comfortable with destroying the country of Iraq and things are not going well there at all. Yesterday there was news about thousands of Iraqi demonstrating in protesting the U.S. illegal occupation of their country. Our days there are numbered, no matter what dumbya or his favorite backer Pelosi think.





Darryl S.
only if they stopped selling it to us because we chastised them for their agressions and called un meetings to emplace economic sanctions.
Why? If it was all about the oil, the DEMOCRATS would be listening to the people of ALASKA and opening ANWR. The area they want to drill in is so minute - but what the hell. We certainly don't know enough to handle our own natural resources, good gracious, no!





That's why, thanks to federal and state parks, forests, reserves, etc., and the Native Corporations, only ONE PERCENT* of all Alaskan land is available for development. And that number is shrinking, incredibly - we just had TWO more state parks proposed.
It wouldn't take more than a New York minute for that invasion to take shape -- if North Korea had oil.





Although the invasion of Iraq went smoothly both times (albeit the occupation has not), the U.S. military was actually expecting to take heavy casualties each time. Look back at the pre-invasion media coverage. The military folks weren't predicting that it would be a cakewalk, although that is in fact what it turned out to be.





If Korea had oil, you can bet your bippie that U.S. soldiers would be occupying Pyongyang right now. Or if they weren't, it would only be because the Chinese had stepped in and stopped them -- like they did last time.
who knows. It all depends on the candidate.
the war is mainly about preventing nuclear proliferation and giving the many good people of countries like Afghanistan and Iraq at least a chance of having a better life not dictated by evil men who rule by the gun, greed...yeah it is out there and the Dem's are just as greedy, to not believe so is naive, north Korea is protected by china, not too much sense trying to protect those poor people form their crazy leader.does anyone in their right mind want radical Shiite's to have nukes?
i doubt ---they have areal army there-----USA goes only after countries with no airforce or a real army
Even Bush is no that stupid. Everyone Knows that China would not stand for an American Army that close to their country.
No we would do it for the same reason we went Iraq, and Afghanistan, to oust dictators and terrorist factions ( like we did) that pose a threat to our national security. As far as north korea, kim jong il is a dictator who is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, We need to cripple him now before he has that capability. Because if he gets a nuke he will either use it, or sell it to our enemies.
Is that why Indian and Chinese firms have gotten the first contracts with Iraq for oil?
You mean ';re-invade'; We already danced to that song in the 1950's and it was a tie.





If we are going to keep invading and tying we should reevaluate our intelligent reports or battle plans.





They have a huge army now.





PS What makes people think we'd win the second time we face Korea? They freaking beat us back. We haven't even won Afghanistan? We should finish one war before starting another. What does America have ADD?
if north kerea had nukes fat chance but if bush in office again who knows hes a dumb F*ck
