The War for Oil

on BBC Two England

Tony Blair and George W Bush claim the current Iraqi crisis has nothing to do with natural resources, but should Saddam Hussein be deposed, there's little doubt that Iraq's vast oil reserves will be near the top of the agenda. Petroleum companies have already started jostling for a share of the spoils before, as is predicted, the industry heads for decline. The Money Programme asks to what extent oil has motivated the drive to invade Iraq, and reports on the battle to control the commodity in the event of Saddam's defeat.
