You need to read more. There are histories of Bectel, Carlyle Group, Saudi Arabia and the oil business you can pick up. I have read them all.

Once you digest all this you will realize that a certain segment of corporate power, all of which are in Bush-Cheney's camp, live in their own world vis a vis dealing with the oil-rich Arabs.

It is actually a total conflict of interest for them to be leading the figtht against terrorism, because in many ways they helped create the terrorism. Not to mention creating Saddam. After all, who else first armed Osama and Saddam? Who's Green Berets trained the Republican Guard? Who used the Mujehedin against the Soviets, then hung them out to dry afterwards? Same with the Shiites and the Kurds?

America is many things and has many faces, but the face on our country right now is the BIG OIL CIA BUSH BECTEL face. Very-very close with the Saudi royals and very-very intent upon controlling ME oil. If Saddam didn't have oil, we wouldn't have even cared about him except as a possible threat to Israel.

Oil and our addiction to it is the root of most evil. The other twin "evil" are religious fanatics on all sides, not just the Islamic side, though they are admittedly the worst.
