It's all About Oil

Pulling back the veil of dirty conspiracies just a little further is a newly released report from the BBC show, Newsnight. Their investigation has added more weight to the theory, believed by many, that the Bush cult, pushed by their neo-con masters had plans to invade Iraq from the first day Chimpie was appointed to office. Why Iraq? It's the oil, stupid. Frat boy and his goons actually had two plans:

The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq's oil before the 9/11 attacks, sparking a policy battle between neo-cons and Big Oil, BBC's Newsnight has revealed. Insiders told Newsnight that planning began "within weeks" of Bush's first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the US.

In fact there were two conflicting plans, setting off a hidden policy war between neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, on one side, versus a combination of "Big Oil" executives and US State Department "pragmatists".

An Iraqi-born oil industry consultant, Falah Aljibury, says he took part in the secret meetings in California, Washington and the Middle East. He described a State Department plan for a forced coup d'etat. Mr Aljibury himself told Newsnight that he interviewed potential successors to Saddam Hussein on behalf of the Bush administration.

Mr Aljibury, once Ronald Reagan's "back-channel" to Saddam, claims that plans to sell off Iraq's oil, pushed by the US-installed Governing Council in 2003, helped instigate the insurgency and attacks on US and British occupying forces.

While the efforts of Sen. Russ Feingold to censure Georgie are to be commended – loudly, he is off the mark. The frat boy should be in jail serving a life term.
