OIL: Key for War
Saddam Hussein, the former president of Iraq, is the chief opponent to U.S. control over the vast oil wealth of the Persian Gulf. Hussein is a ruthless leader, but the U.S. administration supports many dictators. Washington had him in its gunsights in clips of drama of "War on Terrorism" which should be batter named "War for Oils".
The U.S. Military bases in the nine surrounding countries of Afghanistan, after the settlement of Pro-U.S. government in Afghanistan, has almost cleared the difficulties in the way to lay pipelines to the west and to the growing Asian market- with Afghanistan at the crossroads.
In Africa, the U.S. has recently increased military aid to Nigeria, the continent’s largest supplier of oil to the U.S. Oil is also at the center of recent U.S. actions to export its “war on terrorism” to Latin America and Africa. In Colombia, the U.S. is ready to give $98 million to government forces to guard against rebel disruption of Occidental Petroleum’s oil pipeline. In Venezuela, the U.S.’s third largest supplier of oil, the U.S. met with and helped fund the leaders of a failed coup against the democratically elected president.
U.S. has been building new military bases and training local defense forces in the wake of Sept. 11. The former Soviet Republics of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are bursting with an estimated five trillion dollars worth of unexploited oil and natural gas. After the Persian Gulf, this is the largest reservoir of petroleum in the world.
