On The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart announced the prize for victor of the Iraq War, and the nominees were Iraq, the United States, and Daniel Day-Lewis. Shockingly, the prize didn't go to Day-Lewis. It went to an underdog that wasn't even nominated: China. "You've already beaten us in synchronized drumming, and bear cuteness, air chewability and you've got to take this from us too?" Why? Because it's the top buyer of Iraq's oil.
So that means, according to Stewart, all those protesters with the "No Blood for Oil" signs were wrong. They had the "no" in the wrong place. It should have been "Blood for No Oil."

Jon Stewart Declares China the Winner of the Iraq War

In case you cannot play the video in your country basically what Jon Stewart says on the Comedy Parody News Show  called "The Daily Show" in the U.S. is that the actual winner of the Iraq War is China because they invested 2 Billion into Iraq's infrastructure and sent in 100s of Chinese to operate oil drilling and oil operations there so most of the oil since the war is flowing to China as a direct result, it is not going to the U.S.

Part of the reason for this also, is the recession we have been in. We so greatly reduced our oil use in this country that we didn't need to import as much oil. Also, we found shale oil in Canada and in the U.S. and import now more oil from Mexico. As a result we import much less oil from countries as far away from us as Iraq now worldwide. So, our oil use has dropped considerably while China's oil use is mostly still growing on average year on year. Also, I'm not sure if China has a lot of oil in the ground in their country and so like Japan they have to import all or most of their oil as a result.

Another factor is solar cells and wind power and other sources of alternative power are greatly ramping up in the U.S.  will continue to see us use less and less oil especially in places like California where 10% of all new cars are hybrids now and Solar power and alternative power like Wind and wave and geothermal is now the same or less as oil or natural gas. So, Solar and wind have just become cost effective or more over all other fuels in California, India and China. Likely other U.S. states this will also be true in soon as the price of oil continues to rise worldwide.
