ExxonMobil, oil dependency and war in Iraq

Publication date: February 2003

Summary
Despite the Bush administration's claims that the proposed war on Iraq is only about weapons of mass destruction, simmering below the surface is Bush's 'need' to secure a continued supply of cheap oil.

War and weapons of mass destruction

Greenpeace fully supports disarming Iraq, and indeed all nations that have weapons of mass destruction (WMD), including the United Kingdom. But pre-emptive military strikes will not help control or abolish these weapons.

India, Pakistan and Israel are known to have nuclear weapons; North Korea is openly seeking to acquire them. All are outside the realms of any international control. The Bush administration has stated that at least 13 countries are pursuing biological weapons research. Does Bush intend to attack each of these in turn?

Greenpeace has peacefully occupied British military vehicles en route to the Gulf as part of an ongoing global campaign against war in Iraq. In the latest action to stop a UK military attack, fourteen Greenpeace volunteers entered Southampton's Marchwood Military Port and occupied tanks and jeeps queued up to leave on the roll-on/roll-off ferry Stena Shipper. Four of the volunteers climbed into tanks and secured the hatches behind them.
