Democracy Now! | Antonia Juhasz on The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time

This author tells about as much as I've ever heard about the Cheney energy meetings. The transcript of the interview with Amy Goodman is here. I just heard it. I have tried to boil her ideas down to a few paragraphs.

Mahdi has been in every U.S.-appointed Iraqi government. He was the man that the Bush administration wanted to be the new prime minister of Iraq, but he's vice president & advocates the Bush agenda of opening Iraq to corporations.

150 U.S. corporations received $50 billion in contracts to fail in reconstruction in Ira . Mahdi advanced Paul Bremer one hundred orders & pushed their agenda for a new oil law in Iraq to open Iraq's oil sector to private foreign corporate investment. BearingPoint wrote the plan 2 months before the invasion. If you haven't heard of them, they are the renamed Arthur Andersen (think Enron) & were paid $250 million to rewrite the Iraq economic plan.

Bremer was to put it in place - a plan of radical globalization whereby corporations can enter Iraq but contribute nothing to its economy, could give preference to American countries, did not have to hire Iraqis, could bungle the reconstruction.
