the evidence:
1) Cheney & oil execs hold secret meetings to decide oil policy
2) neo-cons pre-plan to invade Iraq (home to 2nd largest oil reserves)
3) destabilize Iraq
4) control all oil supplies, pipelines, refineries
5) shake up markets with uncertainty or take advantage of disasters (Katrina, Rita, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Venenzuela, China, India, Pakistan)
equals
6) $3+ plus gas, record profits

Such reports have prompted consumer advocate and 2000 Green presidential candidate Ralph Nader to ask about the extent to which oil companies were involved in the decision to invade Iraq. "The American people also have a right to know what was discussed in the numerous secret meetings Vice President Cheney's national energy task force held with oil and gas executives."

*** The U.S. consumes 26% of the world's oil, but possesses only 2% of the world's oil reserves. The U.S. imports 9.8 million barrels of oil a day, more than half of its 19.5 million barrels a day consumption. Cheney's national energy plan, drafted during the secret meetings with oil executives, wants the U.S. to import 17 million barrels a day, or 2/3 of daily oil consumption, by 2020. The plan makes energy security, including control over the availability of oil to other nations, a priority of U.S. foreign policy.

First, What was Cheney saying in 2000?
At a celebration dinner after the 2000 presidential campaign, he privately told a group of friends that the new White House team may have a rare historic opportunity to right a wrong committed during a previous term -- the mistake of leaving Saddam Hussein in place atop the Iraqi government.

NEW YORK - In the headlines this afternoon, it's been a record quarter and year for Exxon Mobil.
The oil giant raked in $8.42 billion in the fourth quarter and more than $25 billion for all of 2004, both record-high profits in its history. Exxon Mobil (nyse: XOM - news - people ) blew away Wall Street forecasts, as higher oil and natural-gas prices offset a slight dip in production.

You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
