President Bush says the war is not about oil but his actions belie that claim. In the months before the March 2003 invasion, members of the U.S. State Department “Oil and Energy Working Group” met to plan how to open Iraq to international oil companies. As reported by investigative journalist Greg Palast, the oil law now proposed by the Iraqi Council of Ministers is a virtual photocopy of a plan first drafted by U.S. oil industry executives and consultants in Houston long before Iraq was “liberated.” MoreThis brief intro from the BBC satirical news quiz, Have I got News For You, well it is satire.
Of course Bush does not care about the oil! He is a true humanitarian, with no other agenda than the freedom for all the oppressed iraqis. He wants only to provide these people with democracy, freedom, liberty, and justice. The oil is just collateral! HH :)
