Vogonity.......

[RealityEngines]

Uncomfortable FACToidals.

1. We will never leave Iraq no matter who is elected, not elected, or refuses to leave office.

2. Iran will be attacked. Nut-jobs like Hagee, Robertson and others who are in positions of actual power believe they are ushering in the Second Coming of Christ in doing so. Religious insanity.

3. The Police State is being put in place if it isn't already.

4. Terrorism is the universal boogie-man. Read The Watchmen.

[tenebroust]

That is probably all true. It seems right now that the emphasis has been moved from Iran to Afghanistan and Pakistan but Iran will still be a target to be sure. The Armageddon thing is actually quite interesting. We have people as you say who actually are TRYING to make it happen so that they can help fulfill supposed prophecy. Crazy as hell. War on terror is endless and unwinnnable thus universal and ubiquitous, an excuse for just about any type of rape of this country and our rule of law.

Our actual real objectives in Iraq were finally completed. Which were:

1) Big Oil gets a big percentage of all Iraqi oil sales for the next 30yrs or so

2) Previously protected areas may now be drilled for oil

Notice the big decline in oil prices in the past week, now that both of those objectives have been met. Dollar value hasn't changed, still at $1.57 Euro.

One would think "ITS OVER FINALLY"......no this is just a lull. Next objective is to do the SAME THING IN IRAN. God help us all.

Thanks for another insightful and entertaining commentary.

Thanks for watching.

"Follow the money."

In early 2007, an Iraqi law was proposed that allowed Big Oil to take a percentage (75% at first, then 20% for the next 30 years) of the profits of Iraqi oil sales. The Iraqi govt. has been dragging their feet all this time, but has continuously been pressured by the Bush administration to pass it. Finally, the Iraqis said "OK, as long as we can add a provision for US troop withdraw."

And SURPRISE! Bush is suddenly in favor of US troop withdraw.

[RockStarSoul]

(continued) This law means that, in essence, Exxon, BP, etc gets to buy Iraqi at a significant discount. Now, how much do you want to bet that Big Oil will put this discounted oil back on the market AT MARKET PRICE?

Ok, add to this that Bush is now opening up previously protected areas for oil drilling. We've been so @ss-raped by oil prices lately that we're HAPPY to have this happen. Coincidence? I doubt it. I also don't doubt that this oil will be put on the market at market price.

The emphasis as well in foreign policy seems to be away from the neocon agenda of "Iran now" to instead focus on Russia and China by way of Pakistan and possibly India. This in deference to Brezinski, almost as if Obama is a foregone conclusion.

[FartheadOgre]

The war is moving into Afghanistan which will be a staging point for Pakistan and Iran.

[LifeLibertyLove]

That is if Obama wins, If mccain wins we are going strait to iran with the launch pad in iraq. I don't think we will go to war with pakistan yet. Pakistan is already lost, they got bombs. Venezuela now that seems like the next target.

[FartheadOgre]

Iran will probably be attacked before the next puppet comes to babble on the American stage. They have just been given two weeks to decide if they will bow down and accept the westerners cock and ball treatment. It's the same shit they pulled with Saddam Hussein except now the weapons inspectors haven't been paid off to lie to the public. This means that Israel might have to do the dirty work for a change. Once those initial strikes occur then the west will have a shock and awe part 2.

[FartheadOgre]

As far as Venezuela goes I'm not so sure. It seems many of those countries are banding together. If they wanted to pull off something in that region they would either have to do some straight out imperialism or find someone who can concoct a propaganda campaign unlike we've ever seen before.

[LifeLibertyLove]

I just don't think we will be ever going in pakistan because they already have nuclear bombs. Unless they are staging a holocaust.

[FartheadOgre]

We've already had a few air strikes in Pakistan this year. I'm not saying the U.S. is going to march into the country, but that it will be a staging point for operations.

[LifeLibertyLove]

Yes but pakistan has plenty of nuclear bombs, we need them for when isreal and pakistan decide to MAD eachother so we can step in and save the day. My point is we won't attempt to take pakistan ever until were really ready...
