Long before the war, the Bush Regime decided that Iraq had -- not weapons of mass destruction or terror connections -- but far too many valuable "assets" that could be sold-off to corporate interests. Perhaps, to be known as one the greatest heists ever pulled in history, Cheney and his corporate gang laid-out the master plans for what Bush called "bringing democracy to Iraq." The plans in question: a prewar-map of Iraq riddled with oil wells -- and nothing but oil wells.

Part-4: "The Oil"

The Bush clan has no intention of ending the war. According to many sources, the contracts for "rebuilding Iraq" are really being primarily used for the construction of corporate facilities and for military complexes that will permanently house American troops throughout the country. If everything goes as planned, Iraq will effectively become enslaved by a militarized-complex of corporate crime.

With about 10% percent of the "reconstruction" money going to Iraqi communities, it really begs the question: What will Iraq be made into? Perhaps an elaborate military base for Bush's continuing war crusade on the resources of nearby countries? Dare I say WWIII? Bush is certainly enough of a fanatical crank to desire Armageddon and his so-called "Rapture," so we will all know soon enough.

This video clip is edited, with many scenes removed, because of time constraints. The full DVD-documentary can be rented or purchased. Search for this Title: "Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy." By: Greg Palast and Steven Grandison.
