...this was the whole purpose of the Iraqi invasion - to redirect Iraqi oil...
Let me throw a little Gasolene on your fire.
(Love that one)
Does anyone happen to remember what the only documents that CHeney's 2001 energy task force let into the public???
IRAQ's OIL FIELD charts.
Would that be the reason that he was so adament about not letting anything else out?
How about that?
Hey, reminds me. The reason for the first war was Kuwait using slant drilling into Iraq. Hmm. Now how far do new horizontal wells able to go? I wonder if Kuwait is using Horiz. wells into Iraq?
Crazy things. Who in the world would be so devious as that?

Don't forget the Saudi connection to 911: fifteen of the highjackers were Saudi nationals. As well, this plot supplies the motive for US government involvement in 911.
Well, you know why the Saudis picked 911 to crash the planes? It was their crisis call to BushCo...to let them know their fields were starting to crash and it was time for the US to start working the plan to get into Iraq, secure the oil fields and start pumping it over to KSA.
Or...maybe it was just some crazy Talibans bored with playing around in caves. Gosh...the Taliban...remember them...seems like such a long time ago and they've pretty much fallen from the public discourse.
BTW...the above is just my guess.
umm...is 911 Arabic for an emergency call?
Well...when talking to BushCo...you have to speak clearly and in their native tongue...violence.
You mean the oilfields were crashing in 1993 too?
