Why start a war?

1
Why start a war?

• Back-stage of the American attack on Iraq in
  1991
• Source of information University of Milan

2
Costs of Gulf War

• 40 billions of dollars

38 billions of euros
3
Who has paid them?

• You might think they have been paid by USA, but

But it is partially true only
40 Billions
25 of costs has been covered by USA (10
Billions )
75 of costs has been covered by Arabian
countries, especially Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (30
Billions )
4
Where did they find that money?

• Oil price, before the war, was about 15 per
  barrell

but with the Gulf War it increased to 42 per
barrel, generating an extra profit estimated to
be at least 60 Billions di
And who got this profit?
In the Arabian country there is the so-called
fifty-fifty law 50 to local Government, 50
to the multi-national which controls the
oil-field. Then
5
Easy answer

• Net profit from the price increase 60 Billions

30 Billions to oil companies
30 Billions to Arabian Government (Kuwait Saudi
Arabia)
6
Who owns oil companies?
In the Middle East, oil drawing and trade is
totally controlled by the 7 Sisters (Shell,
Tamoil, Esso), all Americans, 5 owned directly
by USA Government.
30 Billions
About 21 Billions to USA Government
About 9 Billions to private Americans
7
Lets count
War costs Profits from oil price increase Results
Arabian countries 30 Billions 30 Billions 0
USA Government 10 Billions 21 Billions
USA privates 0 9 Billions
11Billions profits
9 Billions profits
Now it is clear USA gained 20 Billions from
the War! To liberate Kuwait? They just wanted to
get money!
8
That is not all

1. At the end, who has paid the 1991 war in Iraq?

Those who use oil
then us!!!
9
Moreover

• So USA, with the oil increase and war effects,
  has gained

11 Billions directly
49 Billions from effects!!!
10
But consider also this

• 2. Where the 40 Billions spent for the War are
  gone?

To the war industry, which is almost totally
AMERICAN!!!
11
Remarks

• It is easy to imagine that the 1991 War was done
  for economical reasons and not for human reasons
  or freedom purposes

But now it is also easier to understand 2 today
issuesthe reasons of Afghanistan War and most
likely, next War in Iraq.
12
Remarks

• Especially, the Afghanistan War had as main
  target, the establishment of a puppet Government,
  which let the building of a oil pipeline (owned
  by Americans) 2,500 km long, across its
  territory.

This pipeline, having strategic importance, has
got a unique alternative the building of
another pipeline, 5,500 km long, much more
expensive to be built and maintained, due to high
taxes required from crossed countries to USA.
Much easier, then, to destroy a country weakened
by 20 years of War and make it a colony, having
the opportunity to build the pipeline in peace.
13
Remarks

• To understand why Bush jr. wants to attack Iraq
  again, we need to know that USA is arguing with
  its main oil supplier in Middle East Saudi
  Arabia.

Break is getting serious, because Saudi Arabia is
one of the most involved countries with Bin Laden
terrorism, and because the international public
opinion has pointed out the lack of human rights
in this country.
For Bush Government there is a priority now find
an alternative oil supplier in the Middle East.
14
Remarks

• The easiest way is to attack Iraq, remove Saddam
  and establish a puppet Government controlled
  directly by USA (as Bush already said it will be)
• The spontaneous question is Why Iraq?
• For 3 simple reasons

• Iraq is a country who cannot defend itself
  (poverty due to embargo killed every year 300,000
  children).
• Iraq offers an easy pretext (mysterious
  mass-destruction weapons, which are developed
  having great technologies and capitals) to
  justify the attack to American public opinion,
  who ignore the real reason of the War the
  control of oil.
• At the moment, Iraq hasnot got any strong
  allied, to contrast American attack.

15
Last remarks
Moreover, in the last 3 months, in Venezuela, the
social revolution has broken out due to miserable
life conditions of the people, controlled by the
American oil multinationals
Venezuela is the biggest United States oil
supplier To find alternatives to Venezuela and
Saudi Arabia is the main goal of Bush.
16
What to do?

• First of all, let as much as possible people know
  about real reasons of the war.If a person doesnt
  know, he/she is easily controllable. If instead
  he/she can think with his/her mind, it is not
  impossible he/she will be against a barbarian war
  with economics reasons only.

Support all the institutions and associations
against this war. Translate this file into your
language, to let people know. Show the peace flag
on your balcony. All of us have to pay if this
war starts.
