Good timing. Last week, it was revealed under the freedom of information act, that BP British Gas and other companies had lobbied the british govt over getting a fair cut of the oil in Iraq - this was months before war was launched - looking for the elusive bin laden. The major oil companies all have very long and lucrative contracts - as decided between British and American governments well before the gulf war. They will each get many millions in profits - and lots of service families will each get a six foot plot to visit. All over greed.
