Vitas, Re: U.S. Promises to Hold Iraqi Oil 'In Trust' Campaign Promises (Lies) vs. Reality You will recall that George Bush promised he'd be a compassionate conservative and has cut every social welfare program he can. Promise: Hand's off Roe v. Wade Reality: Worldwide attack on women's right to chose Promise: "I'll be the education President." Reality: Destruction of public education system is a key goal now being furthered with devious means including voucher advocacy, tests to discredit the public education system and schemes to enrich his brother's software company. Promise: "I'll be the environmental President." Reality: Greatest rollback of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts since enactment. Slashes Superfund cleanup activity. What is Bush all about? Promise! Betrayal Promise! Betrayal Promise! Betrayal Can Iraq break the mold? I may have been born at night, but it sure wasn't last night. When Bush promises to hold Iraqi oil in "trust", all I can say is if Bush can so blithely and universally betray the American public, how in the world can we think he's going to be more loyal to the Iraqis? -Ray

Vitas, sorry for the delay responding to your message. Please understand I've got 127 of 'em in my SI inbox, and I simply can't answer them in a timely manner. But I am doing the best I can--lol! Anyway, on to point: >>> U.S. Promises to Hold Iraqi Oil 'In Trust'<<< Vitas, have you considered perhaps the US oil barons don't want the Iraqi oil just yet in the market? That maybe oil investments in other areas of the world need to pan out a bit before the Iraqi oil comes full into market? That the occupation of Iraq could be as much keeping oil out of the market as it is getting it into market and eventually using (controlling) it long-term? And you'd have to think that even if held in trust, the US will somehow get a take. Do you have a clue as to what really might be going on with this war, Vitas?
