Antonia Juhasz of the group Oil Change International told IPS the issues of oil and permanent military bases are related.
"We've got the Bush administration pushing aggressively for an (Iraqi) law that would give oil companies 20- to 25-year contracts for oil in Iraq and if they were to be at work for an extended length of time, they would need security," she said.
"If the U.S. military is going to stay in Iraq for 20 or 35 years, they're going to need bases," she added.
Why invade Iraq (had nothing to do with 911 and did not have 'weapons of mass destruction) if not for the coveted 'oil law'?
Why kill off 1,000,000 innocent people for profit?
Why destroy the lives of as many Americans?
Why torture for profit?
I think the answer is self-evidently hidden in plane site.
