It's the Oil, stupid!
BY NOAM CHOMSKY
8 July 2008
The deal just taking shape between Iraq's Oil Ministry and four Western
oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the US
invasion and occupation of Iraq -- questions that should certainly be
addressed by presidential candidates and seriously discussed in the
United States, and of course in occupied Iraq, where it appears that the
population has little if any role in determining the future of their
country.
