The Iraq war is about oil, or has it become a war for something else?

Socialists among hundreds of thousands of others were opposing the war that eventually and inevitably took place in Iraq.

Socialists say “No war but the class war”.

However, most people were against this war.
Leafleting the demonstrators I was reminded that everybody knew the war was about oil, so why bother to hand out leaflets reading what everyone was aware of?

Well is everybody aware?

Not, The MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow.

He was branded a “disgrace” after he pointed out how some people might regard the anti-war movement as pro-Saddam Hussein.Adam Ingram, Armed Forces Minister cited the example of an old Jew, who had lived under three dictators, including Saddam.
“He tried to explain why dictatorships had to be removed and he was howled down by those who would call themselves the anti-war coalition, who some would say were pro-dictator.”Rose Gentle a mother whose soldier son was killed in Iraq, to her this is an illegal war, and she campaigned against Adam Ingram during an election and will no doubt concur his example a disgrace
Mr Ingram said: “I would say to you: listen to the facts ... some would say that, not me.” Could it be, he thinks the war was about removing a dictator or, he agrees with President Bush who is reported in the same article as saying, emphatically, that the fight in Iraq was “vital” to security at home, saying that if the US-led coalition failed, the extremists could use Iraq as a base from which to create a “radical empire from Spain to Indonesia”
No mention of oil from either of them in the same article, if anyone has lost track of what is going on ‘Economic causes of the Gulf War’ is worth a read
