Corporations are pissed at Iran --- they won't let them in ! WSJ
Front page of the WSJ this morning has huge story on how Iran has all this "oil cash" and is not letting the global companies cash in on thier "wealth".

If you read "Confessions on an Economic Hitmen" you could see how this plays out. Corporations run our world and our policies. If they can make more money by taking out a ruler that doesn't play with them -- watch out.

Look at Chavez in Venezuela... he's in the hot seat.

Iran is just a matter of time.

1. The corporations
must be pretty nervous at how incompetent their "hitmen" were in terms of managing the smooth takeover of the Iraqi bounty.

The piracy of Iraq is way behind schedule. They can't even get it stabilized and we are approaching the second anniverary of 'shock and awe.'

2. "reconstruction" $$$ to Haliburton and others have flowed very well
the "oil privatization" is kept in secret for now. Not much transparency.

Look for a great deal to be privatized and spun off to western corps.
