News Flash: Iraq War Was About Oil

By Ray McGovern
April 22, 2011

Afghanistan may be the graveyard of empires, but Iraq is home to a graveyard sense of humor. Iraqis wonder aloud whether the U.S. and Britain would have invaded Iraq if its main export had been cabbages instead of oil.

Read on.

Iraq was about oil but NOT mainly.

It was a push by US neocons for Israel.

Ask yourself who benefitted ?

The US PNAC plan to expand the illegal state of Israel.

Read Professor J. Petrus.

BTW Libya like Iraq wanted to be paid for oil but NOT in US dollars.

BE MORE SPECIFIC

To "Anonymous" of 4/23:

You have written about "PNAC" previously. What does "PNAC" stand
for and where is information
about it available and readeable?
(Source, Publisher, year).

Likewise, you provide no way for
those of us (myself included
of course) to read "J. Petrus".
Please provide title, publisher,
and year(s) for your preferred source(s).

Not all of us are initiated and
some of us are ready to learn.

Thanks!

POINTS OF VIEW

Many of us know that there are
other points of view and that
for reasons you detail in the
case of the UK these are not
shared with those of us in the
US.

Reasons are analyzed in MANUFACTURING CONSENT by E. S.
Herman and Noam Chomsky. Also
by Noam Chomsky is NECESSARY
ILLUSIONS.

Sources from abroad which would
be of interest include :

SWEDEN

"AB" ("Aftonbladet"), I believe
it is available in English.

"DN" (Dagens Newheter")

FRANCE

"Le monde diplomatique"

GERMANY ???

Ray spoils an otherwise good piece of journalism by the increasingly questionable assertion:

"Al Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks . . . ."
