    Oil is a Monopoly thats why we went into Iraq not for the oil but to restrict the oil to Market

    That's absolute rubbish, the exact opposite of what's happened since the war ended. Many foreign oil companies have started working on Iraq's oil fields, production has increased and the long term target is to increase it from c. 2.5m barrels/day to 10-12m barrels/day.

    What does that even mean, you freak.

    One day - just one day - it might be great to hear from you about what YOU really think, instead of having to listen to your posts of nutty seers, or trying to make sense of your 'slogans' which lack substance.

    Is that too much to ask?

    He's talking about Operation Iraqi Liberation.

    Disaster Capitalism. The objectives were multiple Gordon brown told us at the Iragi enquiry it was done becasues Iraq was "in the way of the new world order" and to control the oil also and also for PNAC Plan for the new american century. The destabilisation of the mid east for geo-political reasons.

    For the love of God, smeagold. Does it not occur to you that GB used the phrase new world order generically, rather than referring to your understanding of the New World Order conspiracy?

    If there is this huge plot, would his fellow NWO-ers be angry that he'd let the cat out of the bag?

    For chrissakes . . . . . It beggars belief.

    The Truth has always been hidden in the open...

    In many films also.

    He said the reason the US/UK invaded Iraq was to restrict the amount of oil coming out of Iraq. Care to present any evidence of that view? It's the total opposite of what's happening in Iraq now and the plans for the future.

    Why do you think that the PNAC would want to "destabilise" the Middle East? The reason why the US military has such a large presence in the Middle East is to keep it stable...

    Do you think that's because Libya, one of the world's largest exporters, is in chaos or because of what some senile chaplain on the Alex Jones Show said?
