This story has deep implications. It also reveals some intriguing connections with Hunt Oil and GWB. Some politicians suggest this deal foreshadows a knowledge that the country is about to be divided by us in a way that will give the Kurds control of Iraqi oil. This will not happen without a lot of uproar and bloodshed. Our stated goal in Iraq, the one our troops are dying for was to insure ALL Iraqis shared equally in oil revenues. Then why is our government not stopping Hunt Oil from making a contract with only one party--the Kurds? I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. It has been known for a couple of weeks, but it isn't getting much press. Hmm...I wonder why? Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is trying to get answers. http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/63036/ "President George W. Bush has twice appointed Mr. Hunt to a seat on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), which is said to have access to intelligence that experts acknowledge is advantageous to the international energy interest of the Hunt Oil Company." Why has this oil man been given access to intelligence when members of our own Congress have often been rebuffed by the White House?
