And where have the Iraqi oil revenues been going? To whom? And paying what commissions? So far as I know the Iraqi oil (which rightwingers promised us would pay for the war) is under the control of Halliburton type cronies of the administration, plus the Kuwaitis. Are those tens of billions just "disappearing"? If so, into whose pockets?

"Nobody,not even the mighty USA can steal another country's oil." Really? We could force a coup in Columbia and carve a whole new country out of the northern Columbian province and create Panama, to secure our rights to a canal. We could overthrow a democracy in Iran and install and support a brutal dictator to secure the oil supplies from that country. We could arm Saddam Huessein throughout the 1980s and look the other way as he amassed troops on the border with Kuwait, which he subsequently invaded, then we reacted to the invasion and as a result were able to permanently station our troops in that vital oil region. What leads you to believe that the U.S. isn't beyond or capable of stealing another country's oil? It looks like that's exactly what we're currently doing in Iraq. Where is all that oil revenue from Iraq going these days anyway? Anyone know?

TWMoore > There is one reason for Iraq and that is ISRAEL As I and many others see it, there are, in fact, two prime reasons --- Israel and Oil. They are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, it is clear that the Neocons/Amen-corner/JINSA/Likud made a marriage with Big Oil. The aims of each group are so similar that it is impossible to tell who dominates whom in their common and avaricious imperialistic agenda. And then one can throw in the fiat money-creating-banking system and the military-industrial-complex, just for good measure. The hydra has many heads. As Hercules found, the difficulty is to cut them all off. perseus.tufts.edu
