Weapons of mass destruction=lies. Our country’s treasure dying and killing for OIL. Shame!
the truth should come out and responsible people should be bring to courts
and just how do you propose to do that? they may be able to build more economical cars but what about the trucking industry, neither mccain nor obama has said a word about it. mccain voted to drill offshore and obama voted not to. if obama gets elected and does like carter, start resticting foreign and not drilling, mister millions of jobs will go overseas.
live on a ranch in south texas that Exxon leases. Exxon (previously called Humble) has leased this land since 1935 and has huge “proven reserves” — yet they have just left the oil spilling on the ground and the whole thing decay. Many of the largest gas fields in texas are controlled by the majors with large old leases. Often, no plans exist to produce the oil and gas as they are booked as assets. Look at my videos to see the decay of the infrastructure.
In the 70’s opening strategic reserves may have made a difference in price. Today it would not. America is no longer the only strong source of oil demand - see India, and China…
Regulating traders would lower prices. The only thing that’s really going to help - is getting off oil.
The War in Iraq … Proof: the war for strategic dominance of petroleum assets in the middle east …
couldn’t see it because the “you tube ” cencorship board got to it first. Pity…..
So, it’s OK with you if America starts wars for resources?
As the US population ages and have a difficult time maintaining a military, will it be OK if others turn their eye toward us?
anyone who says PBS should go away in this day and age should shot. After watching what in the hell could make you think otherwise?
Who will profit from us staying indefinitely in Iraq?Follow the money. Who will benefit from not moving away from fossil fuels?Follow the money. Who will benefit by nationalizing Soc Sec? Follow the money. Not fixing health care? No Child Left Behind? Deregulating Industries? Gutting regulatory agencies? Privatizing the military and intelligence gathering? Follow the money. Your friend is right. It explains a lot.
So why don’t you actually look at the data-it’s very compelling. You’d have to be a “flat earther” to not see what is so obvious, or work for Exxon/Mobil/etc.
What’s the problem this is the American way. It’s about oil and Bill Moyers is a lefty lackey , so let’s not fool ourself.
Suspicions? Who has benefited from the war? As a good conservative friend constantly urges me, “Follow the money.”
Given what we now know, I wouldn’t be surprised if the oil markets aren’t being manipulated to “shock” the public into complacency over iraqi and their oil interests.
Why haven’t they opened the strategic reserves to bring the price down? After all, one of the main reasons for establishing it in the 70s was to stabilize the market during times of scarcity.
They aren’t opening the reserves because they don’t want the price brought down. Simple.
How is such blatant political posturing being paid for by public funds? This grandstanding is not appropriate fare for a public station. Let him take his suspicions to another platform.
please consider adding this video to

as a video response for those who have not seen the initial report.
Thank you for posting.
Bill Moyer’s journal is the most informative program every week.
Please never let any of O’really agents annoy Mr Moyers again.
I wish Mr Moyers many happy years to inform the public of the whole truth.
BigGuy, you are missing the point, were you not listening. George Bush said Iraq’s oil would be used to better the lives of Iraqi’s and now all that oil is going to American Corporations. You, like the rest of the few Bush supporters or skeptics left, continue to deny facts and turn a blind eye because you refuse to see the truth, because the truth is hard to swallow. This war has been and always was about OIL and this Administration exploited 9/11 and killed hundreds of thousands for profit.
The US is owned and run by war criminals. Period.
