The O'Neill / Suskind Bombshells: Bush, Oil & Iraq: Some Truth at Last

The O'Neill / Suskind Bombshells
Bush, Oil & Iraq: Some Truth at Last

By ALEXANDER COCKBURN

Here we have former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill disclosing that 
George Bush came into office planning to overthrow Saddam Hussein, and 
MSNBC polls its audience with the question, Did O'Neill Betray Bush?

Is that really the big question? The White House had a sharper nose for the 
real meat of Leslie Stahl's 60 Minutes interview with O'Neill and Ron 
Suskind, the reporter who based much of his expose of the Bush White House, 
The Price of Loyalty, on 19,000 government documents O'Neill provided him.

What bothers the White House is one particular National Security Council 
document shown in the 60 Minutes interview, clearly drafted in the early 
weeks of the new administration, which showed plans for the post-invasion 
dispersal of Iraq's oil assets among the world's great powers, starting 
with the major oil companies.
