Why then, are we pushing the Iraqi government to sign a deal giving us the lions share of their oil revenues for the next 30 years?

Every other reason that we invaded Iraq has turned out to be a lie. No WMD, no 9/11 or Al Qaeda link, no peaceful Democracy in the middle east.

When they have to say it's not about the oil, it's about the oil.

The LIBS just don't get it. Al-Quaida has made it very clear that their goal is control of Iraq. It will be another pre-9/11 Afghanistan if the piSSing and moaning little LIBS get their way.

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

"You must be patient and steadfast," he says. "Rejoice, for victory is near, with Allah's permission, and the herds of crusaders have begun to split up and their sole concern has become searching for a way out."

Not to worry, Howard. All that 100,000,000,000 barrels of oil recently stumbled across in western Iraq is coming straight to the USA. We'll toss you aside like a used Kleenex when we're done with ya! Plus not a single Australian has even been killed in Iraq. What do you mates do over there anyway? Not like you earned any of the oil we're gonna steal!

THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE METERS ON THE OIL PRODUCTION, TRANSPORTATION, AND LOADING LINES! SO NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW HOW MUCH OIL IS BEING STOLEN EACH DAY!
