Tony Blair’s government discussed plans with British firms to exploit oil opportunities in ‘post Saddam Iraq’ five months before joining the invasion of the country.
Secret papers reveal that then international trade minister Baroness Symons told energy firms back in November 2002 that they should be given a share of the country’s huge oil reserves.
The Labour peer also lobbied the Bush administration on BP’s behalf amid fears the firm was being locked out of lucrative deals it believed the U.S. was striking with other countries.
The revelations, in minutes of meetings between oil executives and the Labour government in late 2002, appear to be at odds with their insistence Iraq’s vast oil reserves were not a consideration ahead of the March 2003 invasion.
I don't have a problem with the oil being carved up. After all we need oil and if the US were going to invade and British Troops were illegally involved, tell us. Don't give us some shite that 99% of the stupid fuckers out there who watch crap coming out of the box in the corner believe, giving them the chance to start the post 9/11 security clampdown!
WMD, aye that'll be fucking right. That's why we need a Scottish Parliament with Scottish politicians who can't get too far above the people, like in all small countries, of which Iceland is shining example. Let's hope the SNP get in and take us down the road to independence. Sooner or later, the English, will get fed up with us meddling in English affairs and tell us to gettaefu, (ya basa)!
The surprise announcement earned the immediate condemnation of the Palestinian leadership and dealt a serious blow to hopes for reviving peace talks, frozen for the past six weeks because of a row over settlements.
It also represented a spectacularly poor piece of timing since Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was on a visit to the United States.
The Israelis have never had any intention of letting the peace talks succeed. It's time the West and in particular, the US, enforced the outstanding UN mandates and told Israel it either makes peace with the Palestinians or they will be forced to invade looking for WMDs, in particular Nuclear Weapons and that their leader Netanyahu, will be filmed coming out of a hole in the ground after being drugged and not knowing where he is. Oh, and the plants, common to Israel, will be flowering at the wrong time of year. LMFAO!
The situation is not helped because the American administration is packed with Jews and Zionists, who always have dual loyalty to both the US and Israel. So it won't happen. Instead Arabs will be herded into makeshift 'ghettos' and prison camps. Talk about history repeating itself!
