The Spoils Of War-OIL

   From The Independent

"By 2010 we will need [a further] 50 million barrels a day. The Middle East, with two-thirds of the oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize lies"

Dick Cheney; US Vice-President, 1999

"The oil of the Iraqi people... is their wealth. We did not [invade Iraq] for oil "

Colin Powell; Press briefing, 10 July 2003

    It is reported that our esteemed Western oil companies are set to get a very big chunk of the Iraqi oil profits for at least the next 30 years. They would be allowed to take 75% of the profit for this 30 year period to cover their drilling cost and so forth.   BULLSHIT!

      I simply do not have to much to say about this as most of us have known what this war is really about anyway.

   I will say this though. We have lost 3,011 troops to Iraq thus far. Bush is going to send more of our people to die for this oil which he and Exxon, Shell and the rest all want.

    It is time for Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats to cut the funding for all of this bullshit! NOW!
