Americans have long suspected that our recent foray into Iraq was all about oil, but Bush and his cronies are hiding behind claims of "bringing freedom to Iraq".
Poland's leaders have no such qualms about admitting the truth. They're in Iraq for one reason: Oil, and lots of it. From the BBC:
Poland seeks Iraqi oil stake
Poland, which has sent troops to support the US-led forces in Iraq, has acknowledged its "ultimate objective" is to acquire supplies of Iraqi oil.
The Polish Foreign Minister, Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, said his country had never disguised the fact that it sought direct access to the oilfields.
He was speaking as a group of Polish firms signed a deal with a subsidiary of US Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, Halliburton.
I'm pretty sure that the Bushies never expected any other countries to undermine their 'liberation' message in this way. Well, Mr. Bush, it appears that this time, YOU forgot Poland!
