Is Bush's veto threat simply a bluff??

According to Richard Behan, buried deep within the Iraq Accountability Act - the Democratic bill which Bush is threatening to veto - is the agreement which gives 80% of the oil reserves to private business (Exxon/Mobil, Chevron/Texaco, BP/Amoco, and Royal Dutch/Shell)!!! This is the benchmark - a production-sharing agreeement that privatizes 80% of the oil in Iraq!!! Is it time for a third party in this country??? Were the Democrats lazy by overlooking this or are they just fine with it??? This filthy war was all about these production-sharing agreements and the killing of Americans will continue because of these PSAs. How would you like it if another country took 80% of your nation's resources??? These production-sharing agreements are not fair to the Iraqi people, and they will leave a long, lingering hatred for America and our allies.

Ralph adds: It is possible that the Democrats added this themselves as a way to define Bush's position for the American people. The Dems are saying, "We're giving Bush everything he wants, with a timetable. If he vetoes this, then it is clear that Bush does not want to leave Iraq."

Of course, it could also be that Dems are in the pockets of the oil industry just as much as the GOP. We'll have to wait and see what is in the next bill that Congress passes.

America has been longing for a viable third party for a LONG time; however, the louder the outcry for one, the harder the two established parties try to exclude "independant" and third-party candidates from getting valuable exposure.
