3. A new perspective on war.
The originators put war into a more understandable context.

To me, it helps show just how the United States and allied armed forces are giving their lives for the oil companies.

9. Palast: ''Bush Didn't Bungle Iraq, You Fools''
All the oil in the world won't replace a single dot on that graph.



Bush Didn't Bungle Iraq, You Fools

THE MISSION WAS INDEED ACCOMPLISHED


The Guardian
Monday, March 20, 2006
by Greg Palast

Get off it. All the carping, belly-aching and complaining about George Bush's incompetence in Iraq, from both the Left and now the Right, is just dead wrong.

On the third anniversary of the tanks rolling over Iraq's border, most of the 59 million Homer Simpsons who voted for Bush are beginning to doubt if his mission was accomplished.

But don't kid yourself -- Bush and his co-conspirator, Dick Cheney, accomplished exactly what they set out to do. In case you've forgotten what their real mission was, let me remind you of White House spokesman Ari Fleisher's original announcement, three years ago, launching of what he called,

"Operation

Iraqi

Liberation."

O.I.L. How droll of them, how cute. Then, Karl Rove made the giggling boys in the White House change it to "OIF" -- Operation Iraqi Freedom. But the 101st Airborne wasn't sent to Basra to get its hands on Iraq's OIF.

Graphing all the civilians who've lost their lives for oil is beyond our technical abilities, unfortunately.

IMFO: There should be none.
