Bankers and oilmen duke it out with their counterparts abroad

 
The Bush war has nothing to do with "Saddam's weapons of mass destruction" or his alleged links to Osama bin Laden, according to an interesting and rather frightening analysis by Michel Chossudovsky.

The proposed invasion of Iraq is intended to exclude rival European, Russian and Chinese interests from the Middle-East and Central Asian oil fields. (Although) in the Balkans, the US "shared the spoils" with Germany and France in the context of military operations under NATO and UN auspices; the invasion of Iraq, is intended to establish US hegemony, while weakening Franco-German and Russian influence in the region.
    The clash between Great Powers ("Old Europe" versus and the Anglo-American military axis) broadly pertains to:
  1. Defense and the military-industrial complex,
  2. Control over Oil and Gas Reserves
  3. Money and currency systems: clash between the Euro and the Dollar.
Read the rest of the analysis that is online (it is an excerpt from a book, War and Globalisation, the Truth behind September 11 by
Michel Chossudovsky).
