Oil and the empire

THE OIL men of the Bush administration are trying to set up one of the biggest swindles in history–the great Iraq oil robbery.

The cabinet of the new Iraqi government–under pressure from the U.S. occupiers who put them in power–approved a law that would undo Iraq


The oil companies would be guaranteed super-profits–on a scale unknown anywhere else in the Middle East–for a period of 20 to 35 years from oil pumped out of two-thirds or more of Iraq
