My question is, and always has been...why did the U.S. attack Iraq? But wait, it appears I now have my answer:
- HUNT OIL of Dallas, TX announced last Saturday they have signed a production-sharing contract for petroleum exploration in northern Iraq.
-GOOGLE-it for details
AND...
- The U.S. COMMERCE DEPT SEEKS ADVISER FOR IRAQ OIL INTERESTS
The United States is getting ready now for the Iraqi government to get it's house in order and pass a detailed law that will govern the future handling of its vast oil fields, WHICH CONTAIN THE WORLD'S THIRD-LARGEST PROVEN PETROLEUM RESERVES.
In preparation for that moment and in apparent hope that the United States will be central to the process for years to come, the Commerce Department is seeking an international legal adviser who is fluent in Arabic "to provide expert input, when requested" to "U.S. government agencies or to Iraq authorities as they draft the laws and regulations that will govern Iraq's oil and gas sector".
-The Wash Post, September 10, 2007
So you see, all those thousands of US military lives lost/injured in Iraq were worth it afterall. Oh, you know someone who was killed/injured in Iraq? Sorry, 'bout that but they were just a convenient pawn for The Decider and the Veep - they had other priorities than the life of your friend/ relative.
