Is U.S.foreign policy to invade countries and force them to conform to economic globalization?

H5638/H5641/H5642/H5643 were addressed on the floor of Congress on May 23, 2007. This was about the 'Iraq Benchmarks' and that in the hydrocarbon laws package presented as a benchmark to Iraq was the requirement of Iraq to open their future oil exploration and development to the open market and the bidding process. So essentially Iraq would have to bid equally with every other oil entity to control their own countries natural resources (OIL)!! Isn't that legalized stealing? Would the U.S. allow, for instance, China to tell us how to manage our countries resources to open the door to Chinese developers??? Surely this PROVES invading Iraq was about globalizing Iraqi Oil!?!?! Here's a government link for this info> http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?r110:2:./temp/~r1105HUJKT:e22212: Evidently the White House doesn't think we pay attention!! Holbrook this benchmark legislation was written by the White House and presented to Congress for thier authorization! Once Congress authorized it they also became as complicit in it's demands as the White House! I agree! #1. Congress members don't thoroughly read legislation. #2. If they 'knew' what they were authorizing....then yes I think they need be held accountable as well!!! WRONG is wrong!! This belief should be bipartisan!!!

1. Nope.
2. Yes, it has been for many years, It's the corporations' army.
3. US foreign policy is really centered around acting solely in the US national interest.
4. we will find out when the Iranian oil bourse opens and trade oil for euros
5. Hilary wants to take the profits from the oil companies and "Invest" it on what she wants....remember she, "...ordered for the table. I want to take care of you." I guess Liberals don't think Americans listen...the Democrats are in charge of Congress and they want "Benchmarks"...so I guess you don't like their "Benchmarks"
6. Marxistsezwhat?
7. yes, but it worth pointed out globalization is often not in the interest of ordinary americans -never mind peple elsewhere.
8. No it's not really the policy of the American government to save people from a cruel dictator and then give them the right to vote.
