"Let's Make a Deal" Confirmation of previous blogs :: from www.uruknet.info :: news from occupied Iraq - it: " An interesting article appeared regarding Putin, Cheney, Iraq and its oil. I'll link to it, first, then, a few qualifications about it. I would agree with this, except, there are a couple of problems with this analysis.
