The Israeli lobby and the oil factor merge into one under OPERATION SHEKINAH Operation Shekhinah geocities.com geocities.com geocities.com You need to read the last in the series which I've misplaced temporarily. He connects the invasion with Israel's demand to reopen the old Arabaian/Haifa pipeline. This will force Iraq to ship most of their oil through Israel and pay several billion dollars in transit. Another way for the Ziocons (Christian and Jewish) to pour billions in their pet Jewish theological project in the Middle East.

Re:The aggression against Iraq is not about oil per se, it is about control of oil... Kudos to Eric Margolis for a brilliant article! I too enjoy reading paleoConservative Margolis, but let's get real here! "Control of oil"?! Of course, it can only be for Americans to remotely control Mideast oil --is there any technology that would allow the US to instantly syphon all the oil off Saudi Arabia and into cisterns in Texas?? Now seriously, if it were just a matter of "controlling Europe and Japan".... did you read the economic indicators lately? 10% GDP growth in China... 4.5% GDP growth in the US... ZERO growth in Europe... and --courtesy/spillover from China-- 1.5% GDP growth in Japan! Why would the US need to "control" Europe's oil feed?! Truth is, your rainmaker Alan Greenspan exerts more control over Europe than OPEC. Just consider what's going on with the USD/EUR exchange rate: the Dump&Pump gimmick has just fizzled out... () the currency-based growth that's been artificially generated in the Transatlantic trade has NOT translated into genuine, investment-based growth in Europe.... So, my point is that US policymakers enjoy a potent lever over European economics already: the US dollar. Gus () Message 19798229
