BP is British.

I never heard of any oil in Ireland?

I know that BP is British. There is a considerable amount or oil and natural gas offshore from Ireland. The platforms are accessed by taking a helo from Ireland.

Links to information on these platforms?

The oil gets shipped to germany all the way around europe through the south of the netherlands then in germany it gets devided by all the major oil companies. Everytime it stops it gets a tax put on it.. but its the last stop when it reaches your country that it gets the biggest tax slapped on it (in the 40% range) by your national federal goverment c-nts.
I heard it gets pumped off one ship and then pumped onto land then back onto the same ship because the water is too shallow (somewhere near saudi arabia and egypt). Can't be bothered researching it right now plus Im busting for a sh!t.

Links to information on how we're getting anything more than higher national debt out of Iraq please?

And us having control in Iraq is only going to boost those figures.

I used to have a pretty good map of offshore oil fields broken up into regions. To bad I can't find it now. You could look here though. There are smaller maps showing Ireland's off shore oil as well as some news articles about the oil and gas fields.

Your graph shows Iraq even lower than mine. We have had control of Iraq since 2003, shouldn't the numbers have gone up?

How do you know our occupation of iraq had anything to do with those figures?

Thanks, does anyone have claims to these lands? Because I doubt even if we helped Ireland they'd let us jump in willy nilly. You know I actually don't care about this, it really is irrelevant to what's going on in Iraq regardless of what comes of it.

We've done nothing to improve Iraq so it's not exactly the best place to start going drill crazy. The US uproar that would occur aside the Iraqis didn't ask for us to come there, other countries didn't want us to come there, hell even plenty of American citizens don't want us there. They'd probably revolt, which would've been the best answer to their problem if the US hadn't stuck their nose where it didn't belong. Tons of nations have ruled the way they did and tons still do. Why haven't we done something about them? We should really pull out, we're just continuing to lost more credibility and more money. I mean I know its way way way way way too late and continues to get later at least we can show we're not a bunch of stubborn idiots. Thousands of soldiers dying because all because one man is too proud to admit he made a giant mistake. Even if we do launch a democracy there like our supposed plan was do you think Iraq is going to be thanking for killing as many of them as we did?

I don't even think we even plan to pull out, I realize Obama and Clinton are running around saying they're so opposed to the Iraq war and they're going to pull us out but Obama also said "All options are on the table for Iran" didn't he? They're not very anti-war at all Hillary was all for it until it became popular to be against it, so with typical democratic loyalty she bent over and switched sides, she'd even helped fund it. If we're so interested in pulling out someday why are we basically constructing the biggest foreign embassy in the world right in Baghdad? The War Against Terror is a complete lie and front for our government's own sick needs.

Oh and tkpb938 since you're concerned about our national debt I have a question for you. Do you think Bush, Rove and Cheney are losing much money from this or the good ole' tax payers of Americas are? This is just the UK's Arab Facade all over again.
