How does BushCo plan on securing oil interests with a popular Shiite gov.?
I am curious about this... does anybody have any links or insight into this question? I mean a Shia coalition government with its own set of nads won't be able to be boughten off, will they? I mean with Iran right there.

1. any gov't could be given control of everything BUT oil
someone should ask Rice about this, and the State Dept. plan to privatize and sell off Iraq than Greg Palast uncovered.

2. By maintaining turmoil so that a legitimate government cannot be
set up. As long as there is a "reason" for our military to be there, the oil fields are safely in our control. But hey, it's all about democracy, honest. Would the shrub kid you??

3. Allawi is Shia, correct?
He has no nads that he's revealed yet.

I don't think they plan on allowing any non-handpicked government to take power, call me cynical.

But I don't know how they would answer the question.
