Chris Floyd | New Oil Law Means Victory in Iraq for Bush

[BREMPRO]

Bush's priorities are not to break the cycle of sectarian violence but to secure windfall profits from Iraqi oil for his oil associates (Exxon, BP, etc..) and sell more arms and military services for his class cartel (Carlyle group, Halliburton). Chris Floyd puts the latest "strategy for victory" and troop surge all in a different light revealing BushnDick's true cynical and selfish aims:

Chris Floyd reports: "The reason that George W. Bush insists that 'victory' is achievable in Iraq is not that he is deluded or isolated or ignorant or detached from reality or ill-advised. No, it's that his definition of 'victory' is different from those bruited about in his own rhetoric and in the ever-earnest disquisitions of the chattering classes in print and online. For Bush, victory is indeed at hand."

1. can this please be the beginning of the real debate about Iraq? It's been the oil all along

2. The combined words of "Victory, Iraq and **" only make sense when oil is involved. nt

3. It's easy to make laws when you're the occupier.

Lets see how well the laws stand up when Bush leaves. I think the Iraqis will burn every barrel than give it to US corporations. Unbelievable terms...they get 75% of the revenue until their assets are paid for? That'll never happen.

4. this has been a long time coming....

..much like the war with Iran. I'm sure there are excellent reasons why there has been no change in the Iraqi Constitution to date, that would allow the surge of oil companies to gobble up all those undeveloped oil fields. The powers that be have no intention of leaving the middle-east without their share of the pie.

5. And that is the primary reason that our troops will remain targets in Iraq:

To protect the big money corporations of the war profiteers, especially that of BIG OIL. :puke:

6. Wake up America

before the congress and Bush/Chaney,start the oil wars,it never has been about turning Iraq into a democracy,it has always been about turning over the oil fields to American crooks.
