Blood For Oil
More than 3,475 troops have already died in Iraq to enrich six international oil companies. Bush claimed that one of the benchmarks the Iraqi Government must meet is a deal to share the oil revenues. According to Dennis Kucinich a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination for president the Iraqis will not have that much oil revenues left to share.
Kucinich has reported that international oil companies stand to take about 21 trillion dollars from the Iraqi people. To put that in perspective it figured out to be about $70,000 for every American currently alive. It will all go to six international oil companies, four of whom are American. It appears that most members of Congress have been bought off. However, some may feel they need to hold out for a larger share of the looting of the American and Iraqi people.
These are the same oil conglomerates that currently command over $3.25 for a gallon for gas. Don’t expect the price of a gallon of gas to go down once they corner the oil market. How many more brave young American will be send to their death so that these international oil companies can continue to reap unconscionable profits? For every American soldier and Iraqi citizen that has been killed so far in the Iraqi enterprise, the oil companies stand to rake in about $21,000,000. The profiteers allied with the military-industrial-congressional complex, and the entrenched interests of the professional military establishment have already made off with upwards of a trillion dollars. War is a profitable business for the few, but for common folk it's deadly.
Rep. Kucinich reports that according to the oil deal, Bush insists must be signed, these six international oil companies get control of over 80% of the Iraqi Oil fields. The CEO's of those companies have complete control over every aspect of the oil for 35 years into the future. Iraq gets to keep 17 oil fields, but even for these fields, operational control is in the hands of the international oil companies.
Kucinich points out that this plan was formulated well before the invasion. Nevertheless, many politicians continue to claim that we invaded Iraq to get rid of the WMD or cling to the “democracy fantasy” after bringing about a regime change. The media continues to do the bidding of the Bush regime and ignore what Dennis Kucinich has reported.
