The mission is to keep Iraq under control-no oil to flow-
to help the oil companies gouge Americans.
The American soldiers are victims of this con game.
Iraq has so much oil that if oil was coming out of Iraq at
50 per cent of it's capacity then oil would be $60 a barrel. If oil flowed
out of Iraq at 100 per cent of capacity then oil would be $30 a barrel.
The major oil companies had Bush attack Iraq in the first place because
Saddam Hussein was going to flood the oil market and bring oil down to
$30 a barrel. So now the mission is simple-keep the infrastructure undeveloped-
keep the people in chaos and voila-gas at $4.00 a gallon.
That's assuming there is such a war in 5-10 years. Who's the war between?
But if there is, and there was no Iraq, we could have at least got SOME of the military working with new energy tech, or at least, was more fuel efficient.
