THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE KILLING OF INNOCENTS

Saudi Arabia is reported to be behind the plot which proposes encouraging Iraqi generals to overthrow Saddam and his inner circle.

The aim is to avoid a United States-led war with Iraq which could spark other wars in the region.

Now if the US is honest about its intentions for the war - that is to get rid of Saddam - then it should support the Saudi plan. And no one has to get hurt on either side.

It's possible that Saddam may take the Idi Amin retirement option in Saudi (Idi's still there and doing fine)...a surrender is war aims achieved.

As any decent bank robber will tell you the best use of a weapon in an armed robbery is when it's not fired!
Resist violence and exploitation

of course that would mean more than 30% of Oil being in Saudi family influenced hands.

Workable.
But still problems.
but no War this year.
if you like this idea then learn about it.
You may be happy to know it is foreign policy of several countries.

I guess that's better than having 100% of oil in US hands...

The only people who have the right to decide who the president of Iraq is, is the Iraqi people. The only people who have the right to control the natural resources of Iraq is the Iraqi people. The new version of colonialism been introduced by Bush (whose own election is open to question, he did not recieve a majority of the popular vote) and his junior partners in Europe must be resisted.

NUNCA MAIS!

PLEASE NOTE.
as i spoon feed you some more.
that
LIBYA/CHINA/RUSSIA/IRAN

are not normally considered to be in USA hands.

nor are they normally felt to be likely to enter into USA hands without a bit of fuss.
that means something less than;
230billion barrels of Oil left over.

I generally like to say
"We have five hundred billion barrels of Oil left"
followed quickly by
"YA BASTA!"

for those who haven´t got the point yet,
like some little rascals
and 1st world imperialists
and racists
and people who don´t like anyone who isn´t European or North American.

"you are being charged top whack for the Oil, really honestly, but it won´t get much cheaper".

And you really aren´t giving enough research $/€ to the alternatives are you?
And you really aren´t sure you´re going to win the wars are you?

WHY IS IRELAND COMMITED TO ESCALATION?

do you get the feeling we know the answer?
