Derrick Jackson in The Boston Globe on Big Oil. A reality check.
No, Virginia, it wasn't about showcasing the establishment of Democracy in the Middle East.
And it wasn't about fighting the terr'rists.
Long before there was a 9/11, there was a mission...and a malleable, messianic megalomanic Deciderer who could be easily manipulated.
And it was about the Cheney Energy Task Force...and Halliburton profits...and getting back those nationalized Iraqi oil contracts.
Just remember, next time you gas up the Big Guzzler. Next time you buy anything in plastic. Next time you watch the nightly news...oh, wait, guess not... Corporate infotainment media doesn't like to talk about the war no more 'cause it's, you know, messy.
How's that little Spears baby comin' along?
