A few weeks ago the Wall Street Journal reported that the Bush administation has signed deals with Iraqi opposition leaders to keep control of Iraqi oil profits in their country, to rebuild and sustain their economy. Also to dispell the whole "Blood for Oil" nonsense and because Bush felt that profits from Iraqi oil should benefit the Iraqi people. Of course, practically no one reported this story.

It's a good cover, but you have to ask yourself, from whom will the "Iraqi opposition leaders" buy the technology and infrastructure to rebuild their country from?

Which companies will provide the equipment to modernize the oilfields and pipelines?

Who will be there to rebuild the destroyed cities? Who will come to build apartments and condos for all the displaced? Who will provide the food and medical services?

Will it will be companies owned and controlled by the Bush family, the Cheney family, the Rumsfeld family?

Will it be companies owned or soon to be acquired by the Carlyle Group? Will it be companies owned and operated by big time GOP contributors?

Please don't mis-interpret my comments. It's a beautiful thing to make money. There will be multiple generations worth of fortunes made here. The Bush family will end up making the Kennedys look working class.

I'm all for free enterprise and grabbing all you can with both hands, I just can't stand for the self-rightous lies about "regieme change" and liberation of the Iraqi people".

Just my cynical humble opinion.

At least when it's over, there'll be one less thug to worry about.

There's nothing "humble" about your opinion. Unfortunately, I won't be there to see your opinion crammed down your throat when your BS is refuted by reality. Hopefully you'll choke.
