In January 2003, representatives from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Halliburton met with Cheney's staff to discuss plans for Iraq's postwar industry.
In 2004, Bush's first Treasury secretary, Paul O'Neill, "Already by February (2001), the talk was mostly about logistics, not the why (to invade Iraq), but the how and how quickly."
Former and current executives of western oil companies acted first as administrators of Iraq's oil ministry and then as "advisers" to the Iraqi government for the following decade.
Saddam Hussein and the nation's legal system were the only pillars standing in the way of western oil companies before the invasion. The White House waited for a newly elected Iraqi government to pressure for new oil legislation.
In January 2007, as the ''surge" of 20,000 additional American troops was being finalized, the president set specific benchmarks for the Iraqi government, including the passage of new oil legislation.
Usama al-Nujeyfi, a member of the parliamentary energy committee objected Hydrocarbon Law as this would yield excessive control to multinational companies and devastate the country’s future.
With the possibility of the law’s access and the vision of unrelenting foreign military occupation, the oil companies bypassed the parliament by signing contracts that would pave the way to Hydrocarbons Law through the Bush administration which helped drafting the model contracts.
Upon leaving office, Bush and Obama administration officials have toiled for oil companies as advisers on their Iraq enterprise. For instance, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad's company, CMX-Gryphon, "provides international oil companies and multinationals with unparalleled access, insight and knowledge on Iraq."
Despite the opposition of the Iraqi lawmakers, the contracts had materialized its key goal of the Cheney energy task force privatizing the Iraqi oil sector and opening it to private foreign companies with extremely long contract terms and high ownership stakes and abolish requirements that Iraq's oil dwell in Iraq.

In the past five years, Iraq’s oil production has increased by more than 40% to 3 million barrels of oil a day (still below the 1979 high of 3.5 million set by Iraq's state-owned companies). 80% of this is exported out of the country while Iraqis fight to meet basic energy consumption needs. GDP per capita increased significantly but hailed as the lowest in the world and left behind by some of Iraq's other oil-rich neighbors. Water and electricity remain luxuries, while 25% of the population are impoverished.
In the process, there were reported legal complaints against ExxonMobil and Russia Lukoil's super-giant West Quran oil field for damaged private land[18] brought by oil operations, and promised new energy-related jobs that has not materialized because of reliance of foreign companies to imported labor.
On the other hand, let's try to connect it with the September bombing the so-called 9/11[19] to establish connection between the two condemnable acts of the past, not to incite hatred between the two countries but to rebuke their possible future agenda of warfare[20] which mission is for[21]power and and financial[22]lordship. The possibility of a continued violence may not be far[23]because if they were able to practice[24]it in the past, their vulnerability to doing such an immoral conduct may still be present in their hearts (unless they'r learning the humility to be God-fearing at the present time) because of upbringing they absorbed from the previous leaders[25].
American leading mainstream journalists say that the US government is lying about 9/11 and the so-called war on terror.[26]
Media owners and editors do not allow them to report their findings.
Seymour Hersh, America's top mainstream investigative reporter, broke the news that the US government's claim to have killed Osama Bin Laden on May 2nd, 2011 is “a big lie. There is not one word of truth in it,” which corroborate the other exposé which says of its highly improbability taking into account that Osama Bin Laden’s brother was one of George W. Bush’s Texas business partners.[27]
Hersh criticizes his long-time employer, the New York Times, and other big media outlets: “We lie about everything, lying has become the staple.”
Sherwood Ross, an award-winning journalist who has worked for the City News Bureau of Chicago, the Chicago Daily News, and for Reuters and other wire services says that it’s very disbelieving that the Muslims are the culprit of this reviling act considering that the alleged terrorist Osama Bin laden was on the board of Bush’s oil company, according to the social network exposé.
Ross says that American journalists are no longer free to expose even the most disgraceful official deceit and lies.
Paul Craig Roberts, a leading American journalist, served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, won the French Legion of Honor and other awards for his contributions to economics, and has been a regular columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and other mainstream publications, has also been banned from US mainstream media for telling the truth about 9/11. Since he told the manipulated destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11, he has been placed on the mainstream media's no-publish list.
Dr. Robert says that President Clinton’s permission of the five companies for American media concentration is one of the worst things that ever happened to the country, which destroys its autonomy brought by its values that dwell in their federal broadcast licenses which suppress them to upset the government, otherwise their licenses may not be renewed which has a direct impact to their entire multi-million value of the companies to evaporate. So that the so-called mainstream media is no longer the media but Ministry of Propaganda. Gerald Celente calls them 'presstitutes.'”
According to the article, the U.S. was arranging an invasion of Afghanistan long before the 9/11. The World trade Towers’ attack corresponded the timetable of an invasion.[28]
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio in an interview by the foxnews says, terrorism has "increased exponentially" in the Americas administration.
This is not to tolerare the ideald of terrorism as I've been condemning any form of violence but if we’ll check the roots of their evil, it’s not surprising if there could be a sectarian problem in Iraq if we’ll try to base our reasons on the 2013 news provided by the CNN on social network; that the conflict stemmed from the vested interests of the few than the common good.
In the report, Obama warned Thursday that there is no simple military solution to this issue.[29]On the other hand, Iraq’s government has asked the U.S. to launch airstrikes to control the fast-moving militant group that has seized Mosul, Tikrit, and other towns in Iraq as the country’s military dissolved.[30]
The fifth commandment (You shall not kill – Exodus 20:13) forbids the intentional destruction of human life. Because of the evils and injustices that accompany all war, the church insistently urges everyone to prayer and to action so that the Divine Goodness may free us from the ancient bondage of war.
