WMD (Want More Diesel)
It turns out that the British Foreign Office documents were quoting a report from a business group representing BP, Shell and Exxon; BEFORE the report had been published.
The FO also did not acknowledge that the report was funded by Western oil firms.
These FO documents were presented to Iraq oil ministers with a 'code for practice for the Iraqi oil industry'.
Needless to say, these 'guidelines' would favour Western oil giants with returns of between 42 and 162 percent. (according to a report from Platform, War on Want and the New Economics Foundation).
Iraq could lose $100 billion.

of solid congealed oil products stuffed with 20 dollar bills for
the peasants to pull out once a year on George W Bush day.

True.
Those oil companies don't like making large profits do they?
