Iraq war
The war's greatest result would be...cheap oil
'The greatest thing to come out of this [the war in Iraq] for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country.' (2/11/2003) [1]
On Fox and Sky News networks
The goal is global media hegemony
'We want our Sky satellite service to be a completely ubiquitous brand everywhere in the world, just as we want Fox to be.' (10/7/1996) [Quoted to Diane Mermigas, 'What's Murdoch want now? Programming.' in Electronic Media, pg. 8]
