1. Maybe 8, 9 & 10 are what bu$h is talking about when he says we will be in

Iraq until the job is done.

No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10: Chevron, ExxonMobil and the Petro-imperialists

Three years into the occupation, after an evolving series of deft legal maneuvers and manipulative political appointments, the oil giants' takeover of Iraq's oil is nearly complete.

A key milestone in the process occurred in September 2004, when U.S.-appointed Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi preempted Iraq's January 2005 elections (and the subsequent drafting of the Constitution) by writing guidelines intended to form the basis of a new petroleum law. Allawi's policy would effectively exclude the government from any future involvement in oil production, while promising to privatize the Iraqi National Oil Co. Although Allawi is no longer in power, his plans heavily influenced future thinking on oil policy.

3. RICO their assets - invest it all in alternative energy

Here's a plank for the Party candidate: enforce the Pottery Barn rule - make them pay back what they've stolen from the Treasury. They broke it, now they should pay for it.

Invest that money in new alternative energy industry - %400 billion over 4 years.
