Iraq Intends to Damage Own Oil Fields in War - U.S.

Iraq intends to “cause damage or destruction” to its own oil fields if war breaks out, and the U.S. military has plans to secure and protect the fields in the event of hostilities, a senior U.S. defense official said on January 24, 2003. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told a Pentagon briefing that “a variety of intelligence sources” indicate that President Saddam Hussein intends to “cause damage or destruction to their oil fields.”

We’re going to secure and protect the oilfields. That’s just lovely. The people on the other hand are fucked and have to fend for themselves. Fucker. Fuck you George W. Bush and your whole fucking administration.
