Not Your Sweetie

For the Iraqui People, yeah, That's the Ticket!


The United States plans to secure Iraqi oilfields if it invades and is looking into the
possibility of ramping up oil production beyond the U.N. oil-for-food program to
pay for post-war reconstruction, Bush administration officials said on Sunday.

"The oilfields are the property of the Iraqi people," Secretary of State Colin Powell
told NBC's "Meet the Press."

"And if the coalition of forces goes into those oil fields, we would want to protect
those fields and make sure they are used to benefit the people of Iraq and are
not destroyed or damaged by the failing regime on the way out the door," he said.

Revenue generated from the oilfields would be used "in accordance with
international law and to benefit the people of Iraq," he added.....

Well, at least we know that we won't let the unwashed Iraqui masses use their oil, but we "will generate revenue for them". Wow! Lucky Iraquis!
