Operation Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L) - David Rovics



Uploaded by: davidrovics
Video Description:
Proof that there are some brilliant satirists who have infiltrated the government at it's highest levels, "OIL" is, in fact, the acronym first (briefly) used to name the invasion of Iraq, which was later changed to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
-- We've got a situation and it calls for a solution That upholds our domination of the planet We're gonna make our case and we're gonna make it well But if you don't like our logic you can can it We'll use impeccable intelligence from any country in the world As long as we all see eye to eye And
if we don't find quite what we need we know what to do Just look into the camera and lie (Chorus) 'Cause it's Operation Iraqi Liberation Tell me, what does that spell Operation Iraqi Liberation O -- I -- L And we'll lie about the missiles and the nuclear research We'll lie about uranium We'll bui

That doesn't prove anything. Saddam wanted to start dealing oil in euros not dollars. If everyone did that it would destroy the strength of the dollar. Bush can't have that so he gave Saddam a punishment beating. Obviously this also required the killing of plenty of civilians at the same time. Bush says it is not for the oil. Bush is a proven drink-driving-draft-dogding-coward-liar. That proves it is about the oil!

Firstly they did support him. Secondly they did ignore anything he did and then asked him for a good deal. He told them where to stick it. If you do what the US says then you can get away with murder. Just ask the Saudi and Kuwati royal families.

"We" didn't go to war for oil, that's true. "We" went to war to stop Saddam from pumping very little oil one month and then pumping a lot of oil the next month. How do I know? It's now come out: Bush's two plans for Iraq, to either privatize the oil or keep OPEC on top. The "Keep OPEC on top" faction won out. Saudi Arabia sure as hell wants "us" to stay there...and when the sheikhs bark, Uncle Sam listens. Sorry, just had to, um, actually talk about facts, not cliches and warmed-over rhetoric.

"The US Senate is expected to vote as early as Tuesday on a Bosnia-style plan to subdivide Iraq on ethnic lines, touted by backers as the sole hope of forging a federal state out of sectarian strife."

'Proof that there are some brilliant satirists who have infiltrated the government at it's highest levels' You don't need satirists if the highest orders of a national government are so stupid as to permit the acronym 'OIL' for an invasion of the middle east:D

It was an invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation who had done nothing to US to control their natural resources (oil).
There were no WMD's or connection to 9/11 like Bush claimed. Now Bush wants to bomb or invade Iran. Support Dennis Kucinich and help IMPEACH Bush!!!

"This is not 1968, where Russia can threaten a neighbour, occupy a capital, overthrow a government and get away with it."
- US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice So U.S. Forces threaten and bomb thousands of Iraqi people, ivade Baghdad, over-throw it's Government then occupy the country taking all of it's oil - then they complain about Russia?! They having a fucking laugh?
