The Real Point Of The Iraq War


Like we did not know that from the start: the Iraq War was ALL about sharing spoils in the aftermath and very rich spoils they turned out indeed. An investigation by the BBC has just revealed the tip of the iceberg worth 23 billion US dollars lost, stolen, or not properly accounted for by some of the top US companies.

But even more interestingly, this subject cannot even be discussed in the US press because of gag orders imposed by the Bush government. The head of the committee responsible for investigating this, says that "it may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history." Well, I guess he never delved into the financial intricacies of all Chechnya wars in Russia. he sure would be in for quite a few shocks.
