unmasking the hidden motives of the current administration in their foreign and domestic polictical agenda. it's all about OIL industry interests.

A claim that the US foreign and domestic political agenda, has been "warped" to benefit OIL industry interests, I won't argue with. It would be very interesting to see if Iraq was discussed in the Cheney led discussions on energy policy - you know the discussions with Kenny and the boyz that he says must remain secret.

Where you loose me, is when you say "it's all about OIL industry interests". That "all" bothers me. Was there a convergence of interests on Iraq? Surely. But "all"? First, there was the Rove input on last fall's elections. Then you might want think about the MIC (Military Industrial Complex), again. (Yeah, I know it's not pleasant.) Just don't think Wolfowitz et al. spend a great deal of time thinking about the North Slope.

That's not to say there isn't that "convergence", and also some overlap. The glaringly obvious example of the latter is Cheney and Halliburton. Ever notice how when you start to dig on a whole variety of topics, you end with our current VP?
