It's still about oil in Iraq...well sorta

OK, listen up!

It isn't about oil, per se, it is about the control of oil. There is a difference.

If American and allied Oil Companies own all the oil in Iraq, they can damned well control the cost of oil, exactly as they have been doing for the past three or so years.

Iraq's oil supplies were supposed to pay for the war and reconstruction of Iraq, according to neocon, moron Paul Wolfowitz. Instead, Iraq is in shambles, billions of American Tax-payer dollars later (all borrowed, so we get to pay interest, too), we are in debt over our heads and gas prices have been through the roof over here and are headed back up after the election, slowly, of course, so as not to get any Oil CEO shot by a well-trained hitman.

(Memo to NSA: I don't know any hit men, well-trained or otherwise, so don't wet your pants and show up at my doorstep, and if any of what you just read makes you livid, take a deep breath and don't call any expert marksmen you might know. None of them are worth your freedom or your life.)

It's still about oil in Iraq - Los Angeles Times:

WHILE THE Bush administration, the media and nearly all the Democrats still refuse to explain the war in Iraq in terms of oil, the ever-pragmatic members of the Iraq Study Group share no such reticence.

Page 1, Chapter 1 of the Iraq Study Group report lays out Iraq's importance to its region, the U.S. and the world with this reminder: 'It has the world's second-largest known oil reserves.' The group then proceeds to give very specific and radical recommendations as to what the United States should do to secure those reserves. If the proposals are followed, Iraq's national oil industry will be commercialized and opened to foreign firms.
