"WE WENT TO WAR FOR THE OIL COMPANIES" Kucinich Tells Congress

Demands Bush Administration and Oil Company Execs be Held Accountable

Washington, DC (June 26, 2008)-- US Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, in a speech to the House of Representatives today, tied the secret meetings of the Cheney Energy Task Force to the recent award of non-competitive oil contracts in Iraq and said that both the Bush Administration and the oil company executives who participated in those meetings in 2001 should be held criminally liable for an illegal war and extortion of Iraq's oil.

"In March of 2001, when the Bush Administration began to have secret meetings with oil company executives from Exxon, Shell and BP, spreading maps of Iraq oil fields before them, the price of oil was $23.96 per barrel. Then there were 63 companies in 30 countries, other than the US, competing for oil contracts with Iraq.

"Today the price of oil is $135.59 per barrel, the US Army is occupying Iraq and the first Iraq oil contracts will go, without competitive bidding to, surprise, (among a very few others) Exxon, Shell and BP.

"Iraq has between 200 – 300 billion barrels of oil with a market value in the tens of trillions of dollars. And our government is trying to force Iraq not only to privatize its oil, but to accept a long-term US military presence to guard the oil and protect the profits of the oil companies while Americans pay between $4 and $5 a gallon for gas, while our troops continue dying.

"We attacked a nation that did not attack us. Over 4000 of our troops are dead. Over 1,000,000 innocent Iraqis have perished. The war will cost US taxpayers between $2 - $3 trillion dollars. Our nation's soul is stained because we went to war for the oil companies and their profits. There must be accountability not only with this Administration for its secret meetings and its open illegal warfare but also for the oil company executives who were willing participants in a criminal enterprise of illegal war, the deaths of our soldiers and innocent Iraqis and the extortion of the national resources of Iraq.

"We have found the weapon of mass destruction in Iraq. It is oil. As long as the oil companies control our government Americans will continue to pay and pay, with our lives, our fortunes our sacred honor," he concluded.

My old roommate Billy aka shellback (igy you gave him a beer at the Seahawks tailgate) was sent to southern Afghanistan where U.S. Intelligence believes much of the Taliban has fled. He called me a few nights ago while I was at my cousin's wedding...said it's been pretty quiet. Then I got this email this morning:

our outpost got attacked 2 nights ago.  It happened around 1am.  farging freaky, dude.  A farging RPG came through a mud wall right where I used to sleep and slammed into a stack of MRE's in the Staff NCO tent where I sleep.  We're on pretty high alert every night now.  Gotta love war.

Different guy, little bit more on the chubby side. It was a little later in the day and I think you were a little further in the tank. We only stopped by for a few minutes. Weather was zesty that day.
