Mr. President, why did your Admin invade Iraq?
"Well, uh, America depends on oil and Saddam and his Regime were going to
sell Iraqi oil for Euro dollars to our competitors. We couln't allow that to happen. The American people need to understand that the entire Middle East must be in favor of that oil flowing to America and that means that all of those countries must do what is in our favor or their Regimes must be changed so that they favor us. Saddam gave us no other choice than to overthrow him and even if he agreed to leave Iraq his Regime would still go against us. It needed to be done for the safety of Amnerica."

1. "Don't try to rewrite history.
It was the military that invaded Iraq."

2. That's a joke, right?



"The terrorists want to control the oil. Our way of life will be at risk". George W. Bush (Nov. 2005)



Bush Regime Iraq Successes (Phase 1)

1. The Iraqi Regime will no longer sell Iraqi oil via the Euro.

2, A military foothold in the ME. other than Saudi Arabia.

3, No countries will be able to buy Iraqi oil that the U.S. disapproves of.

4. Slowing production of Iraqi oil garners more profits to US Oil Corps.

5.The Military Industrial Complex is a booming Industry.


Phase 2

“Iraq: Permanent US Colony”

Iraq: Permanent US Colony
By Dahr Jamail

t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Tuesday 14 March 2006

“Why does the Bush Administration refuse to discuss withdrawing occupation forces from Iraq? Why is Halliburton, who landed the no-bid contracts to construct and maintain US military bases in Iraq, posting higher profits than ever before in its 86-year history?
Why do these bases in Iraq resemble self-contained cities as much as military outposts?”

3. Yes. He hasn't said that yet.
This Administration is also a joke.
