Bush has won his war. He has achieved what had set out to achieve, to de-nationalize Iraq's oil reserves, to remove control of Iraq's oil from the Iraqi people, and steal Iraq's oil by privatizing it and giving it away to corporations who were behind the push for war against Saddam Hussein. Both the leader of Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki, and his oil minister, are Bush plants, puppets for the United States who represent the best interests of the U.S. and Britain over that of the Iraqi people who are being screwed. The irony of all of this is that these oil contracts are, by international law, simply illegal. Treaties and agreements were signed by most nations, including the United States and Britain, that strictly prohibit an occupying power, or agents of that occupying power, which are clearly the international oil companies, to negotiate any treaties or contracts with the nation that they are occupying, and that included SOFA, the Status of Forces Agreement, and these oil contracts. These oil contracts also guarantee that the U.S. will never remove their occupying forces from the country. Obama means to maintain a minimum force of approximately 50000 American troops in Iraq after 2011 in the guise of advisers to the Iraqi army and police force, and that number does not even include, most probably, at least an equal number of armed private contractors. Even if Obama were to remove all forces from Iraq, we will most probably maintain a large force on permanent alert along the border of Iraq, ready and willing to re-invade the country if the Iraqi government is taken over by anyone that we don't like, or doesn't like us, either by a coup or by legal elections. I contend that the great majority of the non-suicidal car bombings in Iraq are being perpetrated covertly by U.S. and/or British forces special op forces as a way to maintain disorder and fear in that country, to give the U.S. government, whoever the president is, an excuse to maintain a large occupying force in Iraq for as long as we want. Someone, outside of the Iraqi army and police force, has to protect the oil fields from sabotage as well as the oil workers themselves, as well as that illegal abortion of an American embassy that we built in Baghdad.
