1. First, control of the US and the middle east, then the WORLD finances...
oh goody, let's let a crook, liar and war whore destroy the entire world's economy so a few really rich guys can make more money.

2. It's all part of PNAC where the World Bank can be exploited...
...and looted for the next four years just like the U.S. has been during the last four years.

5. Iraq has what...300 billion in profits to be made from oil
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 11:50 AM by Mrs_Beastman
that someone needs to control. Iraq is too busy enjoying their new'freedoms' to worry about making huge profits.

6. Because Wolfowitz has a plan---
for keeping the middle east destitute so we can better take their oil. I'm not kidding.

10. read Palast, Stiglitz, or "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man":
the WB and IMF aren't in the helping business, they're in the enforced-Thatcherization business. They pointed to Argentina in 2000 as to how wonderful their plans were, the next year the economy imploded harder than a neutron star.
