iraqi war was about oil

3 December 2004

The US deputy defence secretary, Paul wolfkowitz - who has already
undermined Tony Blair's position over weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) by describing them as a "bureaucratic" excuse for war - has now
gone further by claiming the real motive was that Iraq is "swimming"
in oil.

The latest comments were made by Mr Wolfowitz in an address to
delegates at an Asian security summit in Singapore at the weekend,
and reported today by German newspapers Der Tagesspiegel and Die Welt.

Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated
differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction
had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it
simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is
that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims
on a sea of oil."

    • Artist Dr. Steven Kurtz cleared of all charges

      This was the most bat shit crazy episode in the whole Bush Gestapo Era. Charges are finally dropped, but as Kurtz states, there is no re-compensation for him. The case originated in May 2004, when Kurtz's wife Hope died of heart failure as the couple was preparing a project about genetically modified agriculture for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Police who responded to Steve Kurtz's 911 call deemed the Kurtzes' art materials suspicious and alerted the FBI. Kurtz explained ...

      Dick in 2004. Right. So what were they thinking the second time round ? Its time to get the whole middle east powder keg going. Its time to destroy the US itself USSR-Afghanistan style, thus opening it up for corporate takeover. Its time for Armageddon. They are in contact with space aliens, and its the aliens that told them they had to do it. The so-called Left should give up trying to reason with these people and saying America got ...

    • respect to the deserters

      At an Army base in Alaska last year, "there was one guy who literally chopped off his trigger finger with an axe to prevent his deployment," Dr. Thomas Grieger, a senior navy psychiatrist said in an interview. New york times, mon april 9th, 2007 Respect. More respect then I give to the Buddhist monk in Thailand who cut off his penis because it wouldn't sit still during meditation. Interesting: The desertion rate during the Vietnam war was 5% (NYT)
