A friend of mine is a Republican, and a raving Bush supporter. Every time I've said this war might be about oil, he has scoffed and made comical faces that indicated he thought I was a radical treehugging Communist Socialist anarchist lunatic. Perhaps I will e-mail him the link to this story. :-)

The war was one third about the oil. The "peace" is 100% about the oil. The "occupying powers" term is a legal term that must be used to grant the US the power internationally to do much of the rebuilding legally. Of course the US will set itself up prominently to get advantageous deals in the future. However pure and peace-loving France and Russia and France have not lifted sanctions because right now THEY get all oil profits under the "oil for food" deal done for supposed humanitarian reasons years ago. This fund has been abused and funneled into all sorts of nonsense little of it benefitting the Iraqui people. The reason for the sanctions no longer exists why does France and Koffi not move to lift them? Yes the US will benefit but so will the new Iraqi government.
