U.S. troops shouldn't be security guards for private oil company

[JonLP24]

Recently, the administration announced it was sending troops to Syria to protect the oil fields. This just after deploying troops to Saudi Arabia for the same thing. And the U.S. has had troops in Iraq and Kuwait guarding the oil fields for years.

Now, all of a sudden, ARAMCO (Arabian American Oil Company) has decided to launch its IPO and go on the stock market. Why all of a sudden is ARAMCO so willing to share the goose that lays the golden egg? Saudi Arabia, which funded the 9/11 attacks and the richest oil companies in America, wants to share the wealth ?

Is there a connection between the need for troops to guard the oil fields and this IPO? Is ARAMCO going to say they need U.S. troops to protect the American investor? If so, then ARAMCO and its investors need to get a bill for keeping those troops there.

Protecting the assets of a private company isn’t the U.S. taxpayers’ responsibility. Most importantly, U.S. troops shouldn’t be anyone’s security guards.

U.S. citizens better start paying attention to the whole picture and not their own personal issues.

Interesting how many of our Troops are based in Qatar and other Mid East Countries. Got to keep Exon Mobile safe from the locals you know.

So they won’t jack the price of oil up. He’s scared of oil increases because it will drive his poll numbers down further.

"America is basically an oil company with an army."
