FWers,

I guess heads will have to roll at the Guardian now.

UK Guardian: Corrections and Clarifications

  Thursday 05 June 2003

  A report which was posted on our website on June 4 
under  the heading "Wolfowitz: Iraq war was about oil" 
misconstrued remarks made by the US deputy defence 
secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, making it appear that he 
had said that oil was the main reason for going to
war in Iraq. He did not say that. He said, according 
to the Department of Defence website, "The ... difference 
between North Korea and Iraq is that we had virtually 
no economic options with Iraq because the country 
floats on a sea of oil. In the case of North Korea, the
country is teetering on the edge of economic collapse 
and that I believe is a major point of leverage whereas 
the military picture with North Korea is very different 
from that with Iraq." The sense was clearly that the US 
had no economic options by means of which to
achieve its objectives, not that the economic value of 
the oil motivated the war. The report appeared only on 
the website and has now been removed.
