Scene 2 Multinational Broadcast.



Address to the nation.



My Fellow Americans.

Our troops with the assistance of our gallant friends have been victorious in our crusade for Democracy. The Iraqi people are free, freedom is what we strove to achieve and freedom is what we delivered we will remain in the region to secure and maintain safety for those we saved.
The victory of the battle is won… but the long road has only just been taken, we have destroyed the regime and now we have wiped the slate clean. We can rebuild the damaged buildings easily but the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people should now be our main concern.
The American government has not gone into this war with out planning, we have already chosen the replacement government, and have them waiting to take control after our troops have silenced any opposition.
That government will be the care taker until free and stable elections can take place it will have autonomy and independence from US control and it will be the sole signatory on all contracts which need to be signed so that the economy of Iraq can look after it’s own people. The Iraqi people are more than capable of running their own country We will remain to make it easier for them.
The new Iraqi government has already met with our representatives, we have discussed their options and decisions have already been made.
The country was already in economic collapse before we intervened. 60% of all Iraqis were starving and living food for oil, that ceased the moment out troops invaded, the water and the electricity was cut, many now suffer dysentery Cholera and the diseases spread by vermin and flies as they pick through the rubble of their country.
We have already pressured the UN to restart the Food for Oil and start the process of humanitarian Aid, our administration has allocated $20 million that it intends to release immediately to begin feeding the nation.
However in the long term the future needs of the new nation must be met, without international investment they will not be able to provide for themselves in the future.
Oil is the strength of their economy, we must help them rebuild their core activity, for that reason the privatization of the Iraqi oil has been put forward by the new government.
We were reluctant to agree to such an arrangement, we insisted that such arrangement should be handled by the UN but our Iraqi friends wishes are sound and in keeping with the loyalty between our nations and in reflection of trust we have reluctantly accepted.
For them to rebuild their society and renew the infrastructure, feed the hungry and provide a future the Iraqi government have come to an agreement with American oil interests and will receive a bulk payment and future Royalty payments. This has come as an unexpected consequence but in the sight of so many dead and dyeing the Iraqi people a proud nation of worthy people have refuse to be charity cases when they have the assets to sell and assist their own.
How can we prevent a deal which will provide the foods and medicines for the children of millions?, it is now up to the world to allow the Iraqi people salvation and not stand in the way of the only feesable alternative to poverty.
The UN have suggested that they fund and manage the rebuilding of Iraq, but they do not offer an alternative, the purchase of the oil will come through ongoing Aid, a hybrid of the Oil for Food program. It will short change the Iraqi’s while they are desperate.
We will not allow them to be the victim of desperation and accept inferior oil deals from other nations who deserted them when they were under the brutal rule of the regime. Our oil interests internationally have already devised a schedule of equitable royalties as we have in Angola Kasacstane and Georgia, we have proved ourselves worthy of fair trade agreements and our Iraqi friends trust us to help them.
We will not let them down.


“Yarder Yarder Yarda, that’ll teach him for trying to kill my daddy, we won the oil in two thousand and four”

Sir, Sir your still on the air!



Thankyou for your time.

Scene 3 next week!
