Is James Baker the real White House puppetmaster?

Did he write the plan to invade Iraq in April 2001, five months before 9/11?

Two years before the invasion of Iraq, oil executives and foreign policy advisers told the Bush administration that the United States would remain “a prisoner of its energy dilemma” as long as Saddam Hussein was in power.

That April 2001 report, “Strategic Policy Challenges for the 21st Century,” was prepared by the James A. Baker Institute for Public Policy and the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations at the request of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Is Baker writing the contracts that ExxonMobil and other oil giants are trying to impose on Iraq?

A group of American advisers led by a small State Department team played an integral part in drawing up contracts between the Iraqi government and five major Western oil companies to develop some of the largest fields in Iraq, American officials say.

Those widely-reported contracts were rejected by Iraq because they were too greedy, but you have to read AfterDowningStreet.org to learn that.

"We did not finalise any agreement with them because they refused to offer consultancy based on fees as they wanted a share of the oil," [Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani] said.

Is Baker writing the occupation diktat "security agreement" too? That was also too greedy, so U.S. negotiators are scaling it back by removing immunity for contractors and control over Iraqi airspace.

Iraq’s foreign minister said Tuesday that the United States had agreed to lift immunity for foreign security contractors operating in Iraq, making them subject to prosecution under Iraqi law, according to Iraqi politicians.

Is Baker engineering an even more disastrous war with Iran? 

In all of these crucial stories about Iraq, the "deciders" are never identified. We know Dick Cheney is the "decider" within the government, but is he really just taking orders from James Baker in his role as consiglieri to the Bush Organized Crime Family?
