I thank you for this article. In retrospect, it is well to consider the statements by Richard Perle in February, 2003, regarding oil contracts supposedly being sought by French oil company Totalfinaelf with Iraq. The argument he made, was that following regime change in Iraq, oil prices would fall due to the availability of Iraqi oil on the free market. Was it in fact the prospect of having Iraqi oil prices pegged to the euro, at a time of decline of the US dollar, that panicked the US government into a decision to act against Saddam?
