The Iraq war was a win-win situation for Usa, this wasen't a war for weapons,it was a war for oil.This war has been a main reason for the skyrocketing Oil prices, which inturn are pushing-up food prices.Somebody is getting ****** rich here!!
I have a great article to support my view...and I feel the price rise will not stop until the USA gets out if Iraq.
"The oil men of the Bush administration are trying to set up one of the biggest swindles in history the great Iraq oil robbery.
"The cabinet of the new Iraqi government under pressure from the U.S. occupiers who put them in power approved a law that would undo Iraq's nationalized system and give Western oil giants unparalleled access to the country's vast reserves.
"The oil companies would be guaranteed super-profits [stolen] on a scale unknown anywhere else in the Middle East for a period of 20 to 35 years, from oil pumped out of two-thirds or more of Iraq's oilfields.
"Meanwhile, Iraqis would continue to endure poverty and the devastation of war while sitting atop what is estimated to be the third-largest supply of the world's most sought-after resource."
"...the law underlines the importance of the scramble for oil to the U.S. empire no matter how much George Bush and his administration deny it with claims about spreading "democracy" and making the world safe from terrorism.
"The U.S. government's thirst for oil isn't only about profits and still less about securing supplies of a commodity that ordinary Americans depend on but is also about power. In a world in which the economic and military might of nations depends significantly on access to oil, more control for the U.S. means less control for its rivals.
"These dual calculations securing access for its own needs and controlling the access of others have been central to the history of oil and the U.S. empire, from the end of the 19th century, to the start of the 21st."
"...as Saman Sepheri wrote in the International Socialist Review, "every tank, every airplane from the B-52 to the stealth bomber every Cruise missile and most warships in the U.S. or any other nation's military arsenal rely on oil to wage their terror."
"U.S. companies would love to take advantage of the super-profits guaranteed by the production-sharing agreements (PSAs) that the [U.S.-imposed] Iraqi government would sign under the law.
"PSAs are usually used in situations where the oil is difficult to extract, so the company's investment in production is substantial. But the opposite is the case in Iraq the cost of extraction is about $1 per barrel, and the selling price on the world market is around $60 a barrel. And under the PSA, foreign oil companies would be guaranteed 70 percent of the profits seven times the typical share under other contracts in the Middle East."
"The other aim of the oil law, as left-wing Iraq expert Michael Schwartz put it in a recent interview with Socialist Worker, is to give U.S. companies "control over the spigots" so that the U.S. will "get to decide how much is going to get pumped at any particular moment, and who it will be sold to."
"For the last century, the world's governments have been ready to go to war over oil and they will again, until a new society that places priorities on democracy, freedom and justice is established."
