Oil ? …. What oil ? … It is all about Freedom and Democracy and WMD (no, drop that last one)
"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.
Two years ago today - when President George Bush announced US, British and Allied forces would begin to bomb Baghdad - protestors claimed the US had a secret plan for Iraq's oil once Saddam had been conquered.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."
.... The industry-favored plan was pushed aside by yet another secret plan, drafted just before the invasion in 2003, which called for the sell-off of all of Iraq's oil fields. The new plan, crafted by neo-conservatives intent on using Iraq's oil to destroy the Opec cartel through massive increases in production above Opec quotas. The sell-off was given the green light in a secret meeting in London headed by Ahmed Chalabi (my italics) shortly after the US entered Baghdad...
… Ari Cohen, of the neo-conservative Heritage Foundation, told Newsnight that an opportunity had been missed to privatize Iraq's oil fields. He advocated the plan as a means to help the US defeat Opec, and said America should have gone ahead with what he called a "no-brainer" decision.
… "Many neo-conservatives are people who have certain ideological beliefs about markets, about democracy, about this that and the other. International oil companies without exception are very pragmatic commercial organizations. They don't have a theology."
SECRET U.S. PLANS FOR IRAQI OIL March,17, 2005
The BBC video
This year, as happened last year, almost none of Kirkuk's oil will reach the international market.
Incessant sabotage of the northern oil pipeline by insurgents has all but sealed it off from its export terminal in Turkey. Before the U.S.-led invasion, the line handled around 750,000 barrels a day.
Across Iraq, insurgents have battered oil installations with an average of two dozen blasts a day. (my italics, and below comment)
Iraq's oil sector still limping two years after war March 16, 2005
There have been 216 reported attacks (till now) on Iraqi pipelines, oil installations, and oil personnel.
As with other Resistance news, many similar attacks are probably not reported in corporate news media.

AMERICA'S AGENDA FOR GLOBAL MILITARY DOMINATION
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO503A.html
Essential Partners -
OIL +
Military + Multi-National Corporations
A newly released Pentagon document (above link), sketching America's agenda for global military domination, calls for a more "proactive" approach to warfare. The March 2005 Pentagon document constitutes an imperial design, supporting US corporate interests worldwide. Pointed to is massive recruitment and training of troops, to be deployed around the world in acts of military policing. "Indigenous forces and factions" will be "controlled and pacified". Not limited to the Middle East, the activities of special forces, under the disguise of peace-keeping and training, will be supplemented by private mercenary companies on contract to the Pentagon, NATO or the UN.

Some question fighting, killing and dying for oil and empire.

GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICANS

THE AMERICAN WHO CAME IN FROM THE WARMTH
- "Cogito ergo boom!" ("I think, therefore I shoot")
- Who but a people driven mad with fear would stand for this waste of wealth on war?
- Being "on the left" anywhere other than in the United States is not a disease or a satanic possession: freedom of thought and conscience is a citizen's serious right.
- Money or power cannot buy them humanity.
- A day will come when this crazed war music will stop, and the American people will hear the judgment that the Germans heard at Nuremberg—that, in Justice Robert Jackson's words, they had supported a regime which had committed "acts which have been regarded as criminal since the time of Cain."
- This rage to march in lockstep to the war music is a fundamentalism of thought that enslaves America: The name is fanaticism.

OIL: GAZING INTO THE PAST / PRESENT / FUTURE
Wherever oil is, WE are. As VP Cheney once wisely said: "You've got to go where the oil is." Henry Kissinger explained : "If you control oil, you control countries (if you control food, you control people)."
OIL exists not only in Iraq and surrounds. It is scattered all over (including, but not limited to, Ukraine and South America). So are American military bases, numbers growing (14 permanent bases being built in Iraq alone). Iraqis may be getting a very small hint of the implications. Not that we MEAN them any harm, it just comes with the territory.
In the new Iraqi government ALL positions related to power and the economy, most importantly the Ministry of Energy, are in American hands. (Iraqis will be American slaves.)
In the world economy OIL is central, around which all is organized. Understandably, and quite naturally, American and world corporate interests are tasked with organizing. (Europe and Britain also have roles, as permitted by the U.S.)
Britain's Tony Blair has been George Bush's staunchest ally, his veritable shadow in Iraq. The reason: North Sea oil wells are drying up, meaning strategic catastrophe for Great Britain. So Tony Blair is doing a little forward planning. Don't worry, Iraqis, it's all for the greater good.
