Agreed IR.

Unfortunately for all of us, so many people within the US live in a reality where they think the Terrorists are out to get us, That the Dictators of the world who oppose U.S policy are enemies which must be destroyed. They suck up all the mainstream news and dont ask any questions about what Charles Gibson on ABC says. These are the same people who say "lets just nuke all the camel jockeys and turn it into glass" without really thinking at all about what that means. Rah Rah, US Army.... 'Hoorah Marines....lets go kick some ass...without really thinking at all why you are running out the door to kick some ass. These people support these policies... F'n Blockheads they are.

Then, there are the people who go against the mainstream ideaologies..the so called Conspiracy Theorists, and Tin foil hat wearers. The people who all along are now being proven correct.

We now see the true imperialist agenda in 20/20 hindsight, where before, and during the war, the war was sold to the American people based on the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to Al-Qaeda. The word ‘oil’ was never even mentioned.

But in fact, the motives for this war were a grand imperialist agenda to restructure the entire Middle East and Central Asia and to use it in a geopolitical competition to make the US the world’s dominant super-power for decades to come, with oil being just one element of that broad agenda.

The oil wont be of benefit to the Iraqi people. it's revenues wont be used to rebuild their homes or infrastructure, or to pay for the continuing costs of security or perhaps mental health of veterans. it will go line the pockets of major corporations who won the no bid contracts. Just Facts.

No One even talks about Iraq anymore, unless a big bomb went off and killed 50+ people on a Tuesday morning. Of course, the continued violence is entirely due to the unresolved issues between the Sunni and US-installed Shia Government, who tortured and killed ten of thousands in the name of ethnic cleansing. We still pump the Shia full of aid all year every year.

Sadly, as we have seen and will continue to see...War is now an embedded part of US economic and foreign policy.
