Behind the war

["Elisha Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nothing new, but interesting nonetheless...

Behind the Invasion of Iraq, the startling new book-length report authored
by the Research Unit for Political Economy (RUPE), synthesizes the seemingly
disparate threads of the US war drive in what amounts to a blistering
indictment of American foreign policy. The report (available on the Web at
www.rupe-india.org) is lavishly documented and jargon-free; the effect,
especially for readers with limited understanding of global commerce and
finance, is of puzzle pieces clicking decisively into place.

The RUPE report wholly confirms the widely-held view of the coming war as
a massive oil grab, "on a scale not witnessed since the days of
colonialism."
Further, the current debate about arms inspections and alleged links to
al-Qaeda is revealed as pure political theater, since the decision to invade
Iraq was made months ago.
