<<...The insurgents understand why we invaded, why we used troops to protect the oil ministry instead of using those same troops to guard the enormous amounts of unprotected Iraqi ammunition dumps, (but the insurgents do thank Donald Rumsfeld.), they know that we are trying to ramp up the oil production and are fighting that, However what is not so easily known by the insurgents was one of the REAL reasons that Cheney wanted to take out Sadam. In 2000 Sadam changed they way he sold oil. Sadam started to use the euro as the base currency and all his contracts were written as such. One of L. Paul Bremers acts after he became the overseer of Iraq was to suspend all contracts and realign the price of Iraqi oil with the dollar and to require any contract that is written be in dollars and binding for 40 years, which by the way is about when there won’t be enough oil in Iraq or much any other place on this planet to worry about. So Bush’s “mission acomplished” banner was more about the control that NYMEX and LPE now exerts over the Iraqi oil in their markets than the completion of any military actions. The fact that they had to totally destabilise a country and throw the entire region into chaos was OK, because to them the ends always justify the means. The fact that terrorists now go from Afganistan to Iraq to train for their “war on infedials” is telling. The idea that the majority party of Iraq the Shia might align itself with Iran never entered their heads because Chalibi was going to rule for Cheney-Haliburton. Now we want to do to Iran what we did to Iraq? Why? Well Iran is planning to open a competetor to NYMEX and LPE and to price their oil in euros, thus Bushco et al are attempting to replay history...>> Comment by Clif — January 30, 2006 @ 12:24 pm thinkprogress.org
