15 years after the invasion of Iraq, and now largely out of the glare of the media, US and UK oil corporations start to flaunt the spoils of imperial conquest. http://dlvr.it/QBl8BN
The Iraq War was always about the oil.
Rory (GLOBAL RESEARCH) notes:
Not for the first time in their history (see the 1953 Iranian coup d’etat) BP succeeded in convincing the UK government to forcibly seize the resources of a sovereign foreign nation to bolster the share prices of large corporations like themselves. Cronies who endlessly spin around the revolving door between military/government positions like Sir John Sawers no doubt made a fair few quid in dividends and obscene salaries; in fact, Sawers is now a regular feature at Bilderberg conferences, rubbing shoulders with Hillary Clinton and George Bush. I imagine they got on famously.
The only cost was more than 100,000 Iraqi civilian lives.
At least now we can say conclusively that, yes, the Iraq War was about oil.
It was always about oil.
No blood for oil -- that was the rallying cry against the illegal Iraq War.
It's still going on.
Any American pretending to be about social justice is a f**king liar if they're not calling for an end to the still ongoing Iraq War.
