This article combines political-economic and dramaturgical frameworks to examine techniques the Bush administration used to sell the Iraq War to the public, the propaganda role of mass media, and the roots of the war. Discussion also includes the influence of oil on foreign policy, the USA's historical interest in the Middle East, and the quest of rearranging geo-political realities in that region
