Events Leading Up to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq- Colin Powell said Cheney “Gestapo” separate government.
September 2002: ’Office of Special Plans’ Created; ‘Stovepipes’ Questionable Intelligence Reports to Office of Vice President
Part of a 'Separate Government,' Powell Feels - Colin Powell is said to have felt that Cheney and the neoconservatives in this “Gestapo” office had established what was essentially a separate government.
Among the claims critics find most troubling about the office are:
Heavy Reliance on Intelligence from Exiles and Defectors - The office relies heavily on accounts from Iraqi exiles and defectors associated with Ahmed Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress (INC), long considered suspect by other US intelligence agencies.

Drill Drill Drill will take time, Cheney, Halliburton and Oil paid for with lives and tax payers dollars for Bushes War. 2003
The Army Corps of Engineers has already set aside $1.7 billion for maintaining Iraq's oil supply, and the money has been split between paying for imported fuel and fixing the Iraqi pipes, pumps and transfer stations, officials say. About $2 billion has been approved for oil infrastructure repairs next year, including about $40 million to begin the study of the reservoirs. But managing the reservoirs could be a long and expensive process involving complicated computer simulation and changes in extraction techniques
Iraq's problems were well known to the United States before the war. The Energy Infrastructure Planning Group, set up by senior Bush administration officials in September 2002 to plan for the oil industry in the event of war, learned that Iraq was reinjecting crude oil to maintain pressure in the Kirkuk field.

When Hans Blitz said, No WMD’s in Iraq, Iran laughed at the idea and Bush lying face all over the Propaganda Networks saying attack or you will die waving the flag of neoconservative insanity. Then Bush goes on to say the Oil wells are in Bad Condition so the war will take more time, that was a sure sign the war was not about 911 or Saddam Hussein or anything to do with WMD’s but Money, Power and Oil and will not end soon.
