Bush's War For Oil

   Richard W. Behan, from Alternet, has a his take on the war for oil that President Bush has engaged us in. I've written about this sham before but it is always nice to see someone that agrees with you sometime

Richard W. Behan, AlterNet. Posted February 5, 2007.

In the Caspian Basin and beneath the deserts of Iraq, as many as 783 billion barrels of oil are waiting to be pumped. Anyone controlling that much oil stands a good chance of breaking OPEC's stranglehold overnight, and any nation seeking to dominate the world would have to go after it.

The long-held suspicions about George Bush's wars are well-placed. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were not prompted by the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. They were not waged to spread democracy in the Middle East or enhance security at home. They were conceived and planned in secret long before September 11, 2001 and they were undertaken to control petroleum resources.    Article

   Mr. Behan also takes a very in-depth look at this oil war and the people who got us there.
