The U.S. "Surge" in Iraq and the oil law.

Says Escobar: If the U.S. gets the oil law it wants, it will be happy, otherwise, it will not withdraw.

Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Pepe Escobar covers the huge Latin American landscape for Asia Times Online.

  • Well, this turned out to be spectacularly wrong....

  • Because then the US would have to admit that there is no 'democratically elected' government (which there isn't) to take charge, they would need to take the blame for all breeches of security (which they are intent on denying), they would have no exit strategy (they don't really anyway) and they would need to explain to the American people why they are there and what their goals are (which they can't) and the death-toll would become public knowlege. Perhaps 'control' is a euphasism for 'kill'?

  • I won't stand proud sir but I will say that there are many types of control outside of "ground control" by troops or solders. The US had a huge well almost exclusive part in forming their new government and control Iraq's government and its politicians and you control its people. Also the US and other governments run false flag terrorism there and they've actually been caught doing this. This is just two other ways other than the one you stated that the elitist of America use to control.

  • ok so what does the usa control in iraq?after all this time what has the usa won ?a green zone and nothing more?so again what does the usa control????????? in iraq.stand tall and proud when you answer

  • What? please restate in English?

  • WTF this is a year old....????

  • so answer the question what does usa control.21000 troops control nothing .have a draft send in 500000 troops then you usa can control and control
