But this is only a small temporary gain by the oil giants who funded and supported oilman Bush and his oilmen cabinet into power:

Even the proceeds of the oil stolen from the countries attacked by America will soon fade into insignificance.
The real profits will be made when US control of Iraq's oil enable them to manipulate the price of oil at will.
And permanent US bases in occupied Iraq will soon be used to mount oil-robbery attacks on Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other key oil countries, bringing increased control over global oil markets, resulting in increased profits. The taxpayer will fund their armed robbery and ordinary people everywhere will pay the price as instability and hatred grow.
