Thanks very much for the link Strolly. I was reading with interest some of the recommendations which actually proves, to some extent, that it is all about the riches in Iraq and not the pathetic phrase "war on terrorism" used by the US gov't.
One of the recommendations lays out the importance of Iraqi oil fields!
* Iraq has the world's second largest known oil reserves.
The group shamelessly recommends the ways for American gov't to secure these oil fields. Going by the recommendations of "Iraq study group" it seems to me that they want Iraqi oil industry to be opened for the foreign firms.
In another paragraph it recommends that the American gov't should do everything possible to ensure that American oil interests are met.
Another recommendation states that the US gov't should assist Iraqi leaders to recognise the national oil industry as a commercial enterprise (a step towards opening the industry to foreign oil firms!).
So why is it called "war on terrorism"?
