they're being arrogant enough to do this out in the open and i'll bet this war/invasion still won't be about the oil.
LONDON (Reuters) - Iraqi exiles and senior U.S. officials agreed on Saturday that international oil companies should take a leading post-war role in reviving Iraq's oil industry, delegates to a policy meeting told Reuters.

yep. wanna bet the first in line to 'buy' this oil is the US?
talk about stealing oil right from under the french and russian (legal and official) noses while still calling this the liberation of iraqi citizens, uh?
bomb a country, then declare that the oil will be the main resource to rebuild it and be the first in line to buy it and thus 'liberate' these poor souls. that makes sense. wanna bet they drew up this plan on a napkin?
god bless.
i can't wait for the day when i see this kind of news reported on the major networks in the US.

btw, i just watched the last two episodes of 24; how close to reality is this show?? shit-hot close. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. falsified information leads to a country declaring war on the middle east (with the hidden agenda of getting their oil)? yep. that's pretty much fiction out here.
the only difference is that in 24 there's a nuclear bomb smuggled onto american soil that leads to this declaration of war. not so with the current war.
question - on the show, the (fictional, ha) president is manipulated without his knowledge into declaring war on another country; could bush have been led astray by the people in his administration?
that's an angle i never thought of before.
but huge thanks and admiration to the cool cool folks working on 24 for having the balls to make this the main storyline this year (and shown on fox, of all stations!).
