O.I.L.

Two Tidbits.  Fit them into your synthesis of the world how you see fit.

When the U.S. invaded Iraq back in 2003, the USA Today published the mission as Operation Iraqi Liberation, known for short as OIL.  It was quickly changed to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Before serving in the Bush Administration, Condoleeza Rice worked for Chevron and sat on their Board of Directors.  Chevron appreciated her contributions to the company so much that they named a double-hulled tanker after her, the 129,000 ton Condoleeza Rice, registered in the Bahamas as part of a policy called Flags of Convenience (FOC), which I will discuss more in later posts inspired by Crude by Sonia Shah.  (Quickly, FOCs allow wealthy nation's oil companies to register their ships in other countries with lower taxes and less stringent safety requirements, saving oil companies billions of dollars.)  

Chevron changed the name of the  Condoleeza Rice in April of 2001 to Altair Voyager in order to "eliminate the unnecessary attention caused by the vessel's original name."
