34. Maybe Gore will get to see a copy of the 323 page plan for Iraq's oil
Edited on Wed May-31-06 01:03 PM by EVDebs
mentioned in Greg Palast's article

Bush Didn't Bungle Iraq, You Fools
THE MISSION WAS INDEED ACCOMPLISHED
http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=483&row=1

which tells us

"""It's about oil," Robert Ebel told me. Who is Ebel? Formerly the CIA's top oil analyst, he was sent by the Pentagon, about a month before the invasion, to a secret confab in London with Saddam's former oil minister to finalize the plans for "liberating" Iraq's oil industry. In London, Bush's emissary Ebel also instructed Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum, the man the Pentagon would choose as post-OIF oil minister for Iraq, on the correct method of disposing Iraq's crude.

And what did the USA want Iraq to do with Iraq's oil? The answer will surprise many of you: and it is uglier, more twisted, devilish and devious than anything imagined by the most conspiracy-addicted blogger. The answer can be found in a 323-page plan for Iraq's oil secretly drafted by the State Department. Our team got a hold of a copy; how, doesn't matter. The key thing is what's inside this thick Bush diktat: a directive to Iraqis to maintain a state oil company that will "enhance its relationship with OPEC." ""

The CIA's Robert Ebel may end up being prosecuted (or at least persecuted) by the BFEE for letting these inconvenient facts out into the public domain.

Gore has better access to that document in the UK than here in the US where whistleblowers are now under a Bush-inspired hunting "open season" without a permit.

The open question the world still needs to know is WTF are we doing in Iraq ? What IS the mission ?
