Ich habe heute einen sehr interessanten Artikel (leider mal wieder in Englisch) gefunden, der behauptet, einer der wichtigsten, bisher streng geheim gehaltenen Gründe für die amerikanischen Bemühungen, das irakische Öl zu kontrollieren, sei die Furcht der amerikanischen Wirtschaft davor, dass die OPEC-Staaten zukünftig nicht mehr den US$ als Leitwährung für den Erdöl-Handel nutzen, sondern zum Euro wechseln!!
Das würde auch den plötzlichen Mut Deutschlands und Frankreichs erklären, sich den USA so entgegenzustellen.

Was haltet ihr von dieser These?
Hört sich für mich recht plausibel an!

Although completely suppressed in the U.S. media, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking. The upcoming war in Iraq war is mostly about how the ruling class at Langley and the Bush oligarchy view hydrocarbons at the geo-strategic level, and the overarching macroeconomic threats to the U.S. dollar from the euro.
The Real Reason for this upcoming war is this administration`s goal of preventing further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves. ...
The Federal Reserve's greatest nightmare is that OPEC will switch its international transactions from a dollar standard to a euro standard. Iraq actually made this switch in Nov. 2000 (when the euro was worth around 80 cents), and has actually made off like a bandit considering the dollar's steady depreciation against the euro. (Note: the dollar declined 15% against the euro in 2002.)
The real reason the Bush administration wants a puppet government in Iraq - or more importantly, the reason why the corporate-military-industrial network conglomerate wants a puppet government in Iraq - is so that it will revert back to a dollar standard and stay that way."
(While also hoping to veto any wider OPEC momentum towards the euro, especially from Iran, the 2nd largest OPEC producer who is actively discussing a switch to euros for its oil exports). ...
"Saddam sealed his fate when he decided to switch to the euro in late 2000 (and later converted his $10 billion reserve fund at the U.N. to euros) - at that point, another manufactured Gulf War become inevitable under Bush II. Only the most extreme circumstances could possibly stop that now and I strongly doubt anything can - short of Saddam getting replaced with a pliant regime."
