Thread Name: BS: It's official...... it was about oil
Subject: RE: BS: It's official...... it was about oil
"Al-Ghad is the voice of the democratic left in Iraq"--according to its own website. If it is the only source of the allegation that the Hunt oil deal is official US policy--the phrase "Bush-linked" is not enough-- we need a more reliable one. Particularly since some of the other sources, like the Wall St Journal article alluded to earlier in the thread, indicate that the US government is in fact not pleased with the move by Hunt Oil, since they realize it undercuts the Maliki regime.
So if anybody has good solid information on this, as opposed to rhetoric or blogs, please share it.
And if there's interest, I'm sure I can find the Wall St Journal article in question.
