| 12. Oil field services are as lucrative as oil products |
|
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 06:12 PM by jpak
Halliburton has a monopoly on that in I-raq. Dick Cheney's Halliburton stock and options have increased in value since the invasion.
The US and the UK have control of all I-raq's oil revenue. That revenue will be in dollars - not euros.
The US has resurrected I-raq's state owned oil company.
The US will seat a hand-picked puppet government on July 1 2004 that will control that state run oil company as the US sees fit.
That puppet government will be protected by an I-raqi secret police force established by the CIA at a cost of $3 billion.
The US has also established an I-raqi "Army" .
The new I-raqi "Army" is incapable of repelling an attack against I-raq - it is, however, quite capable of quelling internal dissent, and protecting Cheney's investment in the I-raqi oil industry.
So there you have it - the US controls I-raq's oil and Cheney has profitted handsomely from his splendid little war.
Oh - BTW - your "dad" is right - it's not about oil...
