Another thing; * claims the oil revenues will go to the Iraqi people.

[babylonsister]

That's not what I've been reading. :wtf:

[MadMaddie]

1. He's a liar, liar pants on fire..

[Quakerfriend]

2. Yeah, the question is HOW MUCH of it? Less that .0001%,

of what is taken out.

[Richard Steele]

3. Yet another blatant lie- just one amongst thousands.

[uppityperson]

4. "directly", don't forget that part. or was that my imagination or the brandy?

[mod mom]

5. I believe he said profit-ie the privitized companies pay themselves steep

compensation and whatever left goes to the Iraqi people. (will have to check "profit")

[mod mom]

10. My mistake:

"Iraq will pass legislation to share oil revenues among all Iraqis"

[knowbody0]

6. me thinks we need to reverse all that he speaks

up is down, good is bad, winning is losing, etc etc.

We find the truth in the corporate offices of British Petroleum, Shell, Chevron and one other biggie invested in the oil fields of Iraq.

9. 1984. nt

7. Gross or net?

I think this was a very misleading statement, among many strung together to imply things that are at variance with reality but that stand on their own as "truths". He is a master at this.

[medeak]

8. didn't Saddam do the same? and isn't that why we invaded

Kuwait?

[sandnsea]

11. I thought that would be a new policy

I was thinking he meant something along the lines of what they do in Alaska. If that's what he meant, that's one of the few things he said that I thought might be a good idea. That and the jobs programs, which we should have done the day after the invasion.

[Sadie5]

12. Heard this too

He said 75% of profits to Iraqi people. Where will big oil and Bush get their cut of the measly 25% left.

[sandnsea]

16. How do they do it in Alaska

I don't know. But it is one good idea to get behind.

[stillcool]

13. I must admit...

I didn't watch...but I followed the thread on DU..what a hoot!! The man has zero credibility with me, and I have a bad reaction from watching or listening...however...whenever the "Iraqi people" are mentioned...I think 'Fallujah'..kind of puts things in perspective.

14. hummph!

Blood and oil: How the West will profit from Iraq's most precious commodity
The 'IoS' today reveals a draft for a new law that would give Western oil companies a massive share in the third largest reserves in the world. To the victors, the oil? That is how some experts view this unprecedented arrangement with a major Middle East oil producer that guarantees investors huge profits for the next 30 years
