Iraq War-Pusher Now Wants Iraq Oil Money

Richard Perle, who, as a former Pentagon advisor and as a principal of the Project for a New American Century, was one of the chief proponents of war with Iraq, according to Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Perle, one of a group of security experts who began pushing the case for toppling Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein about a decade ago, has been discussing a possible deal with officials of northern Iraq’s Kurdistan regional government, including its Washington envoy, according to these people and the documents.

The area is said to contain 150 million or more barrels of oil, and would be operated by Houston’s Endeavor International.
