I can prove the above statement...
To do so, I ask this question: If America is the kind of nation that would go to war over oil, why haven't we invaded Canada?
The vast majority of oil imported by the U. S. is from Canada, a country of 10 million people or so, with very little military to speak of. We could invade them easily, right? So why bother with the difficult fight in Iraq for oil if Canada is sitting just to our north, ripe for the pickings?
And if it's all about oil, why are we not drilling for oil in our own country? Why not allow it in ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico? Then we wouldn't have to fight in Iraq?
So maybe it's about something other than oil...
Maybe it's really about freedom, like the President says!

It is hard in this oil sucking world not to have the whole world inculding most in our nation having this view. But yes it is more then oil if not at all. There are mighty powers at work in this world and they do have NOTHING to do with oil. But its the powers and principalities of this world that are in a war and it is manifested in humans being caught up in it. Let us not be weary and weak of heart but let us come boldly before the Lord interceding for our nation and our world.
