Russia Sends Message to U.S. About Iraqi Oil Contracts: "Russia would agree to send troops to help the American-led coalition in Iraq if the Bush administration moved to protect Russian oil interests in that country, according to Russian businessmen"

The US is not the only cynical player in Iraq, that is clear. But this trading for oil with governments and armies is sickening. I mean, is our national interest the same as the interest of Exxon, Lukoil, and Chevron? Should our soldiers die to defend their oil contracts? Is that what they are in fact doing right now? Dying for the shareholders of our oil companies?
