when the smoke clears, I've little doubt that the oil fields are going to be the first things those little oil-mongers will be divvying up amongst themselves.
Yeah, it will be just like Desert Storm, when we invaded Iraq and seized all of the oil fields, which now freely pump oil throughout the world at the profit of American corporations.... Hmmm, but it didn't actually happen that way, did it? Based on the start of this thread, it seems that almost the exact opposite happened, with Iraqi oil actually being cut off to the western world by all of the sanctions against Iraq.
Could it be possible that the government is not willing to declassify certain documents simply because they don't want to compromise human intelligence in Iraq?
