For starters, the Team Bush, blatanly lied to the American public about WMDs in Iraq so why then would we invade that country? There was never any link between Bin Laden/Al Quaeda and Saddam Hussein. Yes the man was a tyrant, but in HIS country. He was never a threat to us. What else would war do for the business elite?

Seeing as how, Exxon-Mobil didn't like the original deal, it would seem to me that the war helped them get an agreement. They already made their short term money with the spiking price of oil due directly to the war (Bush is an oil man is he not?) Now it's time to lay the foundation for the long-term. This war benefited them and had zero benefit for the American people and really no benefit for the Iraqi people. That much is clear and now with the country in shambles, it will not be hard to get slave labor to work the oil fields.

That whole region in the Middle east is going to be the stage for the next world war.

Exactly.

And to that, you can add former CEO at Halliburton oil, Dich Cheney`s "energy task force", who started their meeting at the same time the plans for the war in Iraq started to gain momentum.

And a grim picture starts to emerge.

And frankly, I agree with Disillusioned 1, that it is hard to take people, who claims it had nothing to do with oil, seriously.
