Why aren't any of the Dem candidates...
...talking about the oil contract mess in Iraq?

Seriously, why aren't any of the candidates bringing the Imperialistic contracts to light? (known as PSA's)
Do they not understand that the sooner the people of Iraq secure their own oil the sooner we leave?
Are they going to sit quietly by, on the sidelines, while the oil corporates continue to force their own agenda into this process?
Are they going to sit by while we waste time and lives as the Iraqis and Corporates duke it out over this oil?

The Democratic Party candidates should be connecting this all for the American people to understand.

1. Very good question.
It would do a world of good if the American public understood just how much oil figures into all of this.

5. Because now that the oil is within our grasp, we're not going to
let anything happen to it. They are not going to start beating that drum. Think of all the uproar that would happen, besides, if military families felt that Democrats were saying that their kids/husbands died for oil. It's the great unspoken truth, and will remain unspoken.
