Congress: double-dealing...

From truthout.org :

What Congress Really Approved: Benchmark No. 1: Privatizing Iraq's Oil for US Companies

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/052607Z.shtml

Retired Army Colonel Ann Wright says the supplemental bill Congress passed to continue funding the Iraq war is really about "stealing Iraq's oil - the second largest reserves in the world.

The "benchmark," or goal, the Bush administration has been working on furiously since the US invaded Iraq is privatization of Iraq's oil. Now they have Congress blackmailing the Iraqi Parliament and the Iraqi people: no privatization of Iraqi oil, no reconstruction funds."

Wrap...
