    Exactly. Many of us knew that this was their intention from day one. Iraqi sovernty my ass. This administration wanted to keep a heavy US military presence there in order to make sure that the Iraqi government did things our way.

    Saw this this morning and intended to post it but you beat me to it. All this article does is make what was already known offical.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Controlling Iraqi oil is not about lowering the price for us but about making sure that the US dollar remains the preferred currency for petro exchanges. Iraq is considered to have the largest untapped fields in the world. With US control over Iraq the dollar will continue to be used as the petro currency and the US can continue it's economic hegemony.

    It will also help cut out those pesky Saudies and serve as a perfect military jump off point for any future military action against Iran.

    Money is more important than people.....for some people.....for a lot of people...

    That's the problem, and you have the masters at the top squeezing it, and everyone scrambles like fish in a draining pool.

    Give me yadda yadaa control of a nations money yadda care not who makes it's laws laws....blah.. blah... point is lost on 95% of the population.

    Long live the Fed....They are so cool...they LOVE the people....they bail out their buddies first...while people starve and eat shit...and suffer. Never change guys...you're awesome...

    They CARE.....they really do care about us.

    pass the lube
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
