The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror
As world oil reserves dwindle and consumption increases, could it be just a coincidence that the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq happen to be near some of the richest oil and natural gas fields left on the planet? After an 18 month investigation and a 3 month trip to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan this eye-opening documentary exposes the real motives behind the so-called 'war on terror'.
