Why did the CIA seal the documents re: which US companies were involved in the food for oil program?

Too many US corporations and fat cat contributers to the rethugs would be implicated.

Ok..here it is broken down. THose east coast ports were being managed via contract through an English company. That company was bought out by a larger company in the United Arab Emerates. A lot of people feel that our national security is at risk if the UAE company assumes the port operations contract previously honored by the now bought out English port company. White House tried to pull a fast one and didn't tell Congress about it initially until it was almost a done deal. There you go.

First off, The entire iraqi war on terror was in part to protect the oils assets. Which means the Bush family fortune.\nYes it is a scam. Why else would oil commpany executives and CEOs be questioned and put ontrial and even scolded by our congress. They are making "Not billions" but Trillions of dollars off of common people while our government fabricates things to protect the oil assets. Are they truly in danger? Who knows.\nIts one huge cover up. Europe is used to paying 6 dollars per gallon. So we don't get any sympothy from them at all. They say quite your snivveling. but the truth is we are the ones getting scammed big time! is there anything we common folks can do about it, probably not or at least I am not sure.

CIA is one of the major organisations controlled by the illuminati. They are responsible for much of the terrorism of this world

A conspiracy I figured out all by myself, based upon the following facts.  We import about 15% of our oil from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.  (About 50% of Venezuela's production is exported to the U.S.)  Chavez has been in direct communication with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because Iran is willing to export their nuclear and missile technology to Venezuela. (Facts and figures taken from an article in the current issue of Foreign Affairs.)\n\nSo, here's the conspiracy.  The Bush Administration has encouraged the increasing of gas prices so demand will result in reduced consumption by at least 15%.  Thereafter, the U.S. can risk cutting off supplies from Venezuela without any harm to the economy.  That will give us the opportunity, if required, to destroy Iran and Venezuela without any  risk to us.

I think it was beacuse of the Oil as Iraq was planning to award all the contracts to the European and Russian companies.\nThe other reason is that George Bush Jr wanted to complete the task what GB Sr has set to achieve "Oust saddam" campaign\nMaybe even to safeguard the interests of Israel

One of the world’s largest suppliers of reliable products and services to the oil and gas industry since 1919. Vice-President Cheney is a stockholder in this company and was responsible for Halliburton obtaining contracts for 'services rendered' in Iraq from the git-go. At the time, I smelled a rat. Collusion. I still do!\n\n                                                             HANK (Josh)

Because Katrina and Rita destroyed the Gulf's output and the oil companies are greedy. I have nothing against a company making "profits" but "record profits" are an issue ESPECIALLY when they're being subsidized by the government due to some hearings in the Spring of 2005 when they said they just couldn't turn a profit without some government help. Kind of ironic that they now have RECORD profits isn't it?

Check out www.fundingdocuments.com They did some nice research on my import/export corn oil business plan. Good company.

In the Mideast it was done for heroin and oil...but different area,s have different assets.\nThe CIA,s role is to instigate, manipulate events that warrant our intervention ...thus the Corporate agenda behind the farce can succeed.\nOh yeah wave that Flag..they love blind patriotism.

The reasons are numerous and all based on greed and a callous disregard for human life and international law. Eisenhower warned us about the growing threat posed by the dread military-industrial complex 50 years ago. It has come to its fruition (on a spectacular scale) under the criminal administration of our idiot king. Disregard everything you've heard about justification on the grounds of Saddam being evil, the threat of WMDs, the "war on terror" and the imposition of democracy from the outside (an oxymoron if ever I've heard one). This is and ever was all about money.\n\nThe wealthy (and frighteningly powerful) oil giants like ExxonMobil have recorded record profits since this criminal invasion of a sovereign nation. Halliburton and other such evil corporate giants have amassed truly staggering sums from their prearranged government contracts. Wealthy, sinister and extremely powerful people are lining their pockets on this war. And innocent civilians, American and British soldiers are sacrificing life and limb entirely for that purpose. How f**ked up is that?!

We had to square off with them over Tiawan.  They insisted that it was a part of China.  However, the Tiwanese didn't want to be a part of China.  As a result, we are in a cold war with China and North Korea.  We started the war in Iraq to keep them from having the fuel so that they wouldn't be able to wage a long term war.  That's why the Russians are piping oil to them as we speak.  Bush was financed by oil barons in the U.S. whose sole intention of electing him was to create this situation so that they could sell their oil for 3 bucks a gallon.  The Saudis were squeezing them out of business so they created an oil shortage to re-establish control by not only rigging the last Presidential election  in Ohio, but doing it in Florida 4 years before.  Bush has never been elected.  It's all a lie.  I hate him.

It's basically saying that when it comes to oil everything is connected. If you are an Emir (Arab king) you have to play ball with America or the CIA might take you out. If you are an American oil company you will have the support of the American government and its military muscle. Every so often a colleague or two may have to take the fall in a corruption scandal but you can be assured that the show will stay on the road because America needs oil. If you are a CIA agent you have to put ethics aside and do what you country needs you to do, no matter how unethical or criminal. In a nutshell: America may have to kill people now and then to keep the oil flowing.

Its all about the wording.  This administration has been very good at one thing - Words.  They decide to give big business freedom to pollute and call it, "Clear Skies".  They help the logging industry destroy millions of acres by starting the, "Healthy Forests Plan".  This war had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD.  This administration had plans to invade Iraq long before it ever came to office.  15 of the 19 terrorist were from Saudi Arabi and the terrorist camps were in Afganistan.
