Who Took The Oil?

Posted by bosskitty

The NY Times article by JAMES GLANZ has my imagination working overtime.
How convenient that all the looting in Iraq can be pawned off on the insurgents and the sectarian gangs. Tell me how these gangs can walk off with “Billions of Dollars in Oil” without some connection with to whoever is in charge of the [...]

After watching Jeremy Scahill testify before Congress, thanks to a YouTube link, my head is spinning! I am convinced that King George has a hand in the pocket of these corporate mercenaries. It is shameful that these soldiers for hire are raking in the cash & benefits our enlisted and national guard soldiers will never [...]
