Absolutely. Read the reports that was put out by that so-called "think tank" profiled in the Niteline broadcast. It is about oil. And the cost of war will be peanuts compared to the control of the Iraqi oil reserves which are the second largest on the planet. Do the math. Gulf War II is estimated to cost anywhere from $30 billion to $90 billion. The total estimated value of Iraqi oil is easily in the hundreds of billions, some say as much as $ 2 trillion! Do you possibly see a financial motive in all this? Do you find it hard to believe that a few politicians in positions of power (all of them connected to the oil industry) would sacrafice human life for the all-mighty dollar? Newsflash: Leaders can be Evil. We're not the first society to have evil leaders and we will not be the last.
