When is the media going to get down to brass tacks? This IS a war for oil!
All these people getting killed, all these people dying, all this money wasted is all for oil. We have people admitting that Bush lied us into war all over the place. But the more important and revealing question is why he lied us into war.

Why?

Was it perhaps so that American and British oil companies could gain hold of Iraq's formerly nationalized oil supply that was flooding the market with cheap oil due to the oil for food scandal? Did they want to gain control of this oil to raise the price on the market?

The obvious answer is "Yes, they did." They and the PNAC has the plans for this WRITTEN OUT for this on the PNAC's website!!!! The evidence is right in front of our eyes! Who is reporting on this?! Do the oil companies essentially own our government to the extent that the media is afraid to report the truth when it is staring them in the face?

When will we bring back freedom and democracy to this country?

1. amen. I have done countless threadsand sent letters to every senator
and even the critics are reluctant to say anything about it, which leads me to suspect one of two things:

1. They don't want to cross the oil companies for fear of their lives

2. They support the oil motive, which means they will support wars for oil in Iran and Venezuela, and even for a pipeline through Syria.

3. What is wrong with 60 minutes doing a report on the PNAC?
For God's sakes. It's about time. It's not like the story lacks credibility.
