Exxon Mobil is suing the Venezuelan government because they (and their oil men cronies like Bush & Cheney) do not want oil profits to fund the governments missions to provide healthcare, food, education, and other human needs - they want it to line their pockets and fund their war on science. The media will frame this battle as free market oil company against socialist dictator. While the economy in the U.S. falls apart, Exxon has made 10.37 billion dollars in 2007. That's 111 million dollars every day. And as we reported last week, Shell earned record profits this year as well.

"CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States in an "economic war" if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to
seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.
Exxon Mobil has gone after the assets of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA in U.S., British and Dutch courts as it challenges the nationalization of a multibillion dollar oil project by Chavez's government."
