It was about the oil

Surprise, surprise: an advisor of Tony Blair's government has admitted that the invasion of Iraq was about oil. "I don't think the war would have happened if Iraq didn't have the second-largest oil reserves in the world," Sir Jonathan Porritt, head of the Sustainable Development Commission and author of glossy popular "environment" books with forewords by Prince Charles, said in a Sky News TV interview. The "weapons of mass destruction" appear to have been a polite fiction, as gentlemen don't like to admit amongst themselves that they're motivated by rapacious greed. (via NWD)
