Big oil will and always has had a dominating hand in dictating government policy in oil-rich nations. Washington's role should only be to keep these power brokers in check. Instead, I'm afraid the only check will be a big-fat oil laden check to the DC power brokers. Did anyone really believe for a moment that Iraq oil would pay for our invasion? And Tobey.
