Rather than listening to the propaganda a couple UT members (I will not name names <g>) have been spouting about the Bush administrations evil plans for Iraq (oil, puppet government, test run to dominate the world, etc.), you can read them right here:

Please notice the following things (not that I think it will stop your propaganda, Jim and Fernando. Doh! I promised not to name names!):

Though the ORHA will also be charged with restoring oil production as soon as possible, Wolfowitz said decisions regarding the long-term development of the country's rich oil fields will be the responsibility of the government that follows.

"The United States is dedicated to ensuring that all of Iraq's resources belong to Iraq's people," he said.


and

"It must be a process owned by Iraqis," he said. "Our task is to create conditions, including the security conditions, in which Iraqis can formulate a process and pick their leaders freely."

and

Wolfowitz dismissed the suggestion that the United States wants to install Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmad Chalabi, 58, a former businessman, at Iraq's helm.

"He's not an insignificant figure," Wolfowitz said. "But we're also not trying to anoint him or anyone else as the future leader of Iraq. ... His status as a political leader is going to have to be decided by Iraqis, not by Americans."


There, that about does it :-).
