Spilling Blood for Oil

[jcc]

“I had one guy tell me all he wanted was to see his little daughter; she was born three days after the war started. He died in the sand holding my hand and crying because his daughter would never know him. Tell me that’s fu..ing right. Where was George Bush when this kid was gasping for air and spitting his blood on foreign soil?”

CFTM-- -“I talked to you about this the other day. Do you think George Bush is the wrong man to order troops into battle when he ducked it himself?”

USA-- -“That asshole went AWOL and never showed up for duty and then he has the nerve to take us into two different wars that will be going on for years. I do not believe he should be president of this country, he’s a complete idiot and he’s controlled by madmen with a drive for only profits and getting oil.”


I don't know if this interview article was posted last month, this forum moves too fast to look that far back. I thought it might be of interest. It was listed on Not In Our Name.

Here's the link

1. What oil?

It's turning out that the amount of oil under Iraq had been overestimated by an order of magnitude. We used to think there was between 1 and 1.5 billion barrels of crude under Iraq; more recent estimates put the absolute top figure at 300 million, and several of them come in around 100 million.

Blinded by greed ... this is going to turn out to be a bigger fiasco than it appeared to be when Bush launched the attack.
