What Congress Really Approved: Benchmark No. 1: Privatizing Iraq's Oil for US Companies

Is there any surprise here?

Bush went into Iraq for the same reason we overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran and installed a vicious dictatorship - control of the oil for U.S. and British corporations.

This is the same reason there is a propaganda campaign of immense proportions to destabilize Venezuela. Chavez is opposed to foreign oil companies.

There are only two elected officials in DC who have acknowledged this - Rep. Kucinich and Rep. McDermott.
