2000 Days of Occupation - Hands Off Iraqi Oil action to target Cheney

2000 days of occupation and the oil lobby and neo-conservative right still haven't got what they came for. Iraq's oil is still unprivatised but for how long?

Monday October 13th sees 41 international oil companies meet the Iraqi oil minister in London, to discuss the oil carve up they have waited so long for and which has been such a key factor in the deaths of over a million Iraqis. Lets get out on the streets on Saturday October 11th and remind them an Iraqi and a global movement demands the end to the occupation and their oil grab plans.
