The media go on about weapons that may or may not be held in Iraq.

If any country might be vulnerable to these, it may possibly be Israel but certainly not the UK.

For us to commit troops in defence of Israel may be laudable but cannot the Press and TV state clearly that the principal reason for invading Iraq is to control its oil supply?

This will give the US control not only of the Middle East but also huge influence in Russia, China and even Japan.

The armaments industry, of course, supports the oil lobby. But please, no more "weapons of mass destruction".
