Iran torpedoes US plans for Iraqi oil By M K Bhadrakumar What has happened is essentially that Iran has frustrated the joint US-British objective of gaining control of Basra, without which the strategy of establishing control over the fabulous oil fields of southern Iraq will not work. Control of Basra is a pre-requisite before American oil majors make their multi-billion investments to kick start large-scale oil production in Iraq. Iraq's Southern Oil Company is headquartered in Basra. Highly strategic installations are concentrated in the region, such as pipeline networks, pumping stations, refineries and loading terminals. The American oil majors will insist on fastening these installations.

Saudi Arabia......hmm will they be next on our war on terror?
That is pretty frightening considering McCain is still foaming at the mouth about Iran. More troops to Iran with untesting body armour.......
Now is known by all World Leaders that the Saudis and US planned the 9/11 attack. One Asian Leader spoke about it on BBC. I do understand by the White House and Law Makers are trying to cover up the truth as our soldiers will know that not only did the Commander-in-Chief, Secretary of Defense lie but also their General and Commanders all lied to them. Our 4000 plus soldiers died for the lies told my the United States Government. The facts don't change and the truth will come out and Americans will just have to deal with it. We had many chances to correct the problem we didn't. Blame must go to all not just the ones who lied but those who did nothing about it.
