One way to steal the oil: sell it on the world market, but give the Iraqis a few dollars less than we get for it...like the UN did for so many years!

how do we steal the oil? Subterfuge and quislings. Exactly the same sort of scheming that got the U.S. into the catbird's seat in the 1953 coup d'etat that the CIA engineered in Iran. Once the "right people" are in place in a puppet regime in Iraq, the U.S. oil interests will be granted concessions to Iraqi oil on exceptionally favorable terms. It will all be perfectly opaque. Don't expect to read about the machinations in the New York Times, the WSJ or the Economist. Another method that will be used by the al Sabah family and their contractors, Halliburton, is to re-commence their slant drilling into southern Iraq's Rumailia oil field, if indeed these wells aren't already pumping crude out of Iraq and directly into the Kuwaiti pipeline system. **** BTW, you are a perfect jerk to suggest that I'm unhappy that Saddam Hussein was captured. To the contrary, I find this to be very good news. It's one less bogeyman that Bush can use to stir irrational fear in the small minds of uncomprehending Americans.
