Blood in Your Tank: Petrofraud War

It’s not as if we didn’t all know that our government had gone to war for oil. It’s not as if we don’t know that they were committing unspeakable horrors in pursuit of that oil. It’s not as if we didn’t continue consuming that oil since we got a heads-up in 1973 that it was a party that couldn’t last. It’s not even as if those of us paying attention weren’t aware that Iraq has gone through a half dozen “sovereign governments” since we invaded, and that they would continue to go through governments – both through being deposed or disposed of – until they signed oil-sharing agreements to benefit western Oil giants (and keep the trade of their oil in petrodollars).
