War on Terror Phase II: get the oil
The next several posts are excerpts from the 9/11 Commission Report (big PDF) (p 335):
- At the September 17 NSC meeting, there was some further discussion of "phase two" of the war on terrorism. President Bush ordered the Defense Department to be ready to deal with Iraq if Baghdad acted against U.S. interests, with plans to include possibly occupying Iraqi oil fields.
Recall the March 2001 Energy Task Force documents containing maps of Iraqi oil fields.
