Subject: BS: The new Mother of all No Bid Contracts
Reagan and Bush #1 set the stage decades ago. Cheney has dreamed of this for 2 decades and Bush has tried for 6 years to parcel up Iraq's oil for US and UK oil companies.
Now finally that we have a semi legitimate puppet goverment, Exon, Mobil, BP and Shell are being treated to a no bid contract to have the rights to Iraq oil. SWEEEET heart deals all around.
Back in 2000 Rupert Murdoch said that if we waged a Gulf War correctly we could have $20 a barrel oil indefinetly.
Today a barrel of sweet oil goes for 143 puny US dollars. SWEEET for oil companies. Maybe even more profit than $20 a barrel would bring.
