Other currencies, threatening the dollar as the reserve currency, had anything to do with it?

to a legitimate reason there was, but maybe Cheney and the Boys figured the idea would not sell to the American public as well as lies.

The whole thing was/is a clusterfuck.

He had over 2 million shares of Halliburton stock and the price was falling rapidly before we invaded Iraq due to his incompetence as CEO of Halliburton.

I want to take my time with the source site and come back later to read more replies

to the republican power structure appears to be a shift to renewable energy. Most of their monetary support flows from the control of how and where the world's energy is produced.

gets. This is why the Koch brothers.....ass deep in oil.....are doing EVERYTHING they can to buy the US congress & senate, and why they're taking each and every state that has oil/gas in the ground, one at a time (like North Carolina, Arkansas) and making them red states. That way the legislatures will allow fracking and offshore drilling (NC).

That worked out so well for the West....didn't it.

Just read the whole thing...Blood for NO Oil.

I am speechless.

was he about to privatize the oil business, but withOUT giving it to Western Big Oil cos.?

and the only thing I can say is

FUCK. And they did this in OUR NAME. Not for our desire for in-expensive product, but in order to keep oil PRICES HIGH.

This was about avarice, pure and simple.

Just read the article. If this is sourced properly, I expect this to show up on Rachel's show sometime in the next 2 weeks. (Yeah, it's THAT for real).

See, if we all lived in MY version of the World, the White House Press Corps would do NOTHING but hammer the Administration (and Congress) about this and ONLY this until somebody got arrested. This should be mailed to every republican we all know, just to let them see that "No, fuckhead, it was NOT about WMD, it was NOT about "liberation" it was about GREED. Defend it NOW, assholes."

And, yes, it needs to get into the hands of every single person in the world. There needs to be MAJOR jail time for Cheney and James Baker.

was more profits for oil companies by throttling access to oil on the market AND more profits for Haliburton (cheney) with the military and rebuilding contracts, and .. brilliant, sinister, traitorous, disgusting!

can we arrest Bush and Cheney now?

This just proves once again that the masses have no recourse. These crooks do these things with impunity.

that the DimSon couldnt plan farther than his next drink. He was used by his "family" and Cheney. He is still responsible, just not smart enough to actually do anything but sit in the board room and crack jokes.

Hi,

It is a known fact that when the Bush the first drilled his First overseas oil well, It was in Kuwait. He & the Emir of Kuwait were old Drinking buddies from his oil days there in Kuwait. It is all connected.

I hope he doesn't get on any small planes. Hell. They'd blow up a jetliner to get him for this. I hope he doesn't get on ANY airplanes.

This makes me sick by orders of magnitude. Cindy Sheehan comes to mind. The parents of Pat Tillman. ALL the DUer parents and spouses who lost loved ones. Those of us who have family members sent to Iraq, and who came back an entirely different person than the one who went over there.

The neocons and war mongers and oil companies are despicable.

implausible? I don't mean that there wasn't a secret plan for Iraq oil, which I am sure there was, but that the State Department would turn it over to Palast without a fight or legal challenge. I don't put much faith in Palast as a reporter.

5000 Americans were killed to enhance the bottom lines of Haliburton and Big Oil. The $2TT spent on these wars could have have been invested in making our country energy independent from foreign oil...it was a gross sellout by traitors who put their profits before the good of this country.
