On the day of the 20 year anniversary, ICC indicted Putin and issued arrest warrant. When the same ICC wanted to prosecute real American war criminals of Afghanistan, USA congress passed the ICC act authorizing invasion of Afghanistan. Same time John Bolton openly threatened the judges and even their children. Now USA loves ICC and complements with simultaneous arrest of Trump. Meanwhile USA congress unpacks some 500 criminal actions of the Bidens. Dumbagitstan has done it to itself beyond what Bin Laden could only dream of.

Cindy, I believe you’ll agree that the true reason your son Casey died was as a pawn sacrificed in achieving the Iraq Oil Production Sharing Agreement put in place by L Paul Bremer. Bush installed Bremer to govern Iraq through the Coalition Provisional Authority with the specific goal of opening up Iraq’s untapped oil reserves to US oil companies. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq allowed no foreign ownership whatsoever of these vast reserves, and Bremer opened that door for American companies to profit mightily from Iraqi oil - and even in the country’s rebuilding during and after the war.

I agree that was one of the reasons, I hope you watch(ed) the show.

Thanks

Haven’t watched it yet. Was working on an article on that exact topic when the alert popped up about your post on Substack. Off to an appointment now, but I’ll check it out tonight.

In part of my research, I stumbled upon an article by Antonia Juhasz that digs deep into how corporations used the war to plunder Iraq. It’s essentially a transcript of her appearance on Democracy Now! on April 25, 2006.

My guess is that you’re already familiar with her work, but if not, it’s a tremendous resource.
