How to make the Iraq war less taxing on mother earth? After the biggest dirty bombing (tons of depleted uranium) campaign in history? The only way is to win the oil wars once and for all.

Only one way to make the oil war easier on mother earth. Win it.
Withdraw our troops and spend the money, manpower, and cultural energy on replacing the oil that fuels the oil war. The oil that fueled 911. Ironically it was the oil based jet fuel that collapsed the towers. That we now fight the oil war over.
Take note Barack, change your position on the war. Go for the win, the only way to win. Can anyone doubt that bases are now established by oil warring corporate empire that are intended to support the recovery of all the oil in the ME?
McCain's 100 year occupation? That's about right, it will take quite a few decades to extract the rest of the oil.
And the only way to replace oil is renewable smart grids charging plugin hybrids and powering electric mass transportaion. Fuel farming won't do it. Neither will "clean" coal, coal to liquid fuel technology. neither will tar sand extraction, even if it's powered by nukes.
The GHG climate crisis rules out any of these alternatives. GHG free oil replacement would win the oil war, non-violently.
