Oil's Not Well

Unfortunately, commander Tommy Franks and his freedom-loving generals may need to cut the celebrations short. They will rush to all parts of Iraq in order to secure the coveted oil wells before establishing an interim administration to rule Iraq for two, three, five years, or till such time "democracy" is installed. Twenty-four hours after the fall of Baghdad, US energy transnationals will land in the city to distribute the spoils....

This script is no spoof. It is taken from statements made by senior officials in the Bush administration and the US media. And what can you and I do while this tragedy is being played out? Well, we can watch the "coalition of the willing" play havoc with the civilised world. And curse.
