The article reports on documents recently obtained from the government (I presume the British government, but that is not clear to me.) which puts the lie to all the denials about oil being a factor in instigating the invasion of Iraq. The documents are to be revealed in a book entitled, Fuel on the Fire that will soon be published.
Over 1,000 documents were obtained under Freedom of Information over five years by the oil campaigner Greg Muttitt. They reveal that at least five meetings were held between civil servants, ministers and BP and Shell in late 2002.Once again, we find the real truth about the war crimes of the Empire long after the deeds are accomplished. It will be interesting to see how mainstream media covers this disclosure, if they do at all.
