Greenspan - Iraq war was really for oil

Yes about oil...controling the price of oil...Saddam controled the pumps...he could easily play with the price...Now he can't...

The US Dollar is the global trade medium of exchange...Which price will cause more demand for the US Dollar since from 1944 you need US Dollars to purchase oil from the Global market? 40$ a barrel or 80$ a barrel?

Saddam had the power to collapse the US dollar by glutting the market...But he was taken out before he had the chance. There was pressure in 1997 to take him out...

BEIJING - China and Iraq are reviving a 1997 deal worth $1.2 billion signed by Beijing and Saddam Hussein's government to develop an Iraqi oil field, Baghdad's oil minister said Saturday.

Officials will meet next month to renegotiate the agreement over the al-Ahdab field, said Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani. He was wrapping up a three-nation tour to secure investment to revive his country's oil industry.

"If agreement is reached very quickly then I expect them to start working right away," al-Shahristani said at a news conference.

China is the world's second-largest oil consumer and has been investing heavily in trying to secure access to foreign supplies.

State-owned China National Petroleum Corp. signed the al-Ahdab deal in the midst of U.N. sanctions that barred direct dealings with Iraq's oil industry. Beijing was waiting for sanctions to end when the U.S. invasion in 2003 overthrew Saddam's government.

Control of oil is what it's about...That comes first...the rest of the soap opera is dependant upon that...

So the oil co.s get the tripling in returns and the US taxpayer gets the bill and blames it all on Islamofascism, not the profiteers. More of a bottom suffer the consequences and the top who ultimately are the cause of everything escape the consequences.

You need pretexts...You can't go around telling people how the global system operates and then say...this must be done to sustain the system you are dependant upon because if everyone became aware of how the system operates they would demand a change to it...And any change that causes the top to lose power would not be accepted by the top...that is the position the top is constantly trying to avoid putting themselves into...

Democracy or majority rule is not a manmade system...It's natural...But it can be controled like fire is...

If the top loses control...they will be burned...

Iran has a central bank or branch of the bank of England and a British embassy...The Presidnet of Iran and the so called ruling elite were installed to supply the pretext...

"Although thousands of kilometers away from Iran in Paris France, Khomeini set the course of the revolution, urging Iranians not to compromise and ordering work stoppages"

"On the airplane on his way to Iran Khomeini was asked by reporter Peter Jennings: "What do you feel in returning to Iran?" Khomeini answered "Hich ehsâsi nadâram" (I don't feel a thing). This statement is often referred to by those who oppose Khomeini as demonstrating the ruthlessness and heartlessness of Khomeini. His supporters, however, attribute this comment as demonstrating the mystic aspiration and selflessness of Khomeini's revolution."

No one tried to stop it at all...
