Oil a Motive for Aussies in Iraq

Petrol is at about $1.25/litre at the moment. It jumped up a bit this week.

As for the "we're there for the oil", meh.

I heard a segment of the interview on the radio yesterday, and oil was mentioned as one of the motivations for staying there. Nelson's only voicing what we all know to be true, but if the media reports were a bit less sensationalised, we'd all be better off.

It's all a bit "stability, blah - Iraq, blah - security, blah - terrorism, blah - oil, OMG!!!! he said "OIL" - There's the headline boys!"
