[Peace-discuss] Fwd:[ANSWER]: The Politics of Oil, Deceit, Diplomacy and War

[jencart]

constitute the single biggest boon for Bush's corporate 
clients in decades. As one oil executive stated, "For any  oil company, being in Iraq is like being a kid in F.A.O. 
Schwarz." ("Iraq Is a Strategic Issue for Oil Giants, 
Too," The New York Times, February 22, 2003)

The U.S. government initially placed Iraq on the 
"terrorist nations list" in 1972 after the Iraqi 
government nationalized its oil fields, which had been in 
the hands of U.S., British and other western companies.

On March 15, people in the United States will take to the  streets again. It is unacceptable to let a government 
representing the corporate few, send the sons and 
daughters of this country to kill and be killed, in a war 
for Big Oil and corporate profits.

THE PLAN FOR THE EMERGENCY CONVERGENCE ON THE WHITE HOUSE  is to gather at 12 noon at the Washington Monument (just  south of the White House, Constitution Ave. between 15th  and 17th Sts. NW) for a rally and march.
