In reply to the discussion: Leaked E-Mails: Syria intervention plan fueled by oil interests---NOT--- chemical weapon concern [View all]AverageJoe90
(10,745 posts)For all this talk about oil pipelines, here's a vital question: why did oil baron David Koch, of all people, recently state his *opposition* to such a war? Is he just being oppositional, or is there something about this that *isn't* in the interests of Koch & his fellow petrol magnates? You would think that guys like Koch would be all for it.....
Perhaps the BushCo factions may indeed have contigency plans, to take advantage of, an Assad overthrow.....but there is a strong possibility that oil as a primary factor may have to be ruled out entirely; unlike Iraq, Syria doesn't have much oil of its own, and even if theu tried to build a pipeline, there would be enormous risks of sabotage and even outright destruction of equipment, and would likely be done by the very same people that the BushCo factions were trying to prop up.....AQ, the Salafi fuckers, etc.
