'cause it's not about Oil
In the Garden of Armageddon

Mahdi Obeidi is the only Weapons of Mass Destruction scientist (WMD) brought into the United States for safety and information. Obeidi has to go to the press to force the US to do it, too.
Apparently there are hundreds of WMD scientists, some of whom are world renowned for their research and breakthrough science in the area of nuclear war power, and al but a small handful are missing. The speculation is that they have taken underground jobs with countries and groups interested in creating their own weapons (as the knowledge these people possess is highly valuable), or they’ve been killed in the war and political unrest of their homeland. Whatever their fate, the US neither knows nor seems to care.
Obeidi had hoped to bring his colleagues to the United States and share their knowledge with US scientists and politicians. The US turned him down.
If this war is about terrorists and WMDs, then why the disinterest in the people who know how to make them, whether or not they were ever made in Iraq, and (possibly) where they are located?
