THE US SECRETLY PLANS TO KEEP IRAQ UNDER MILITARY RULE

April 29th 2008 02:14

Evidence mounts that the US secretly plans to keep Iraq under military rule until the oil runs out.

The most recent evidence is The Guardian reports indicating they have confidential draft agreements showing that provisions are being made for an open ended military presence. The agreement is dated March 7 and marked "secret and sensitive." It also includes content that precludes human rights legislation in Iraq. There is no time limit on their presence there although there is "spin" claiming they don't want permanent bases.

The essence of a successful presence will indeed be bases - Super Bases. There will be five, according to The London Review of Books last year, each capable of holding 20,000 troops. There will be recreational facilities and fast food outlets. The first is being constructed north of Baghdad.

All will be in the desert so there will be no continuing urban warfare unless the civil war continues between Iraqis.

There will be fewer casualties as the Super Bases are occupied so slowly Iraq will disappear from the headlines.

The economic logic behind such a strategy?

It is in the draft legislation prepared for the Iraqi Congress by the US. Under this proposed legislation the West will receive 80% of the 115 trillion barrels of oil already being tapped. Iraq will receive 20%. There is a further unconfirmed 350 trillion barrels of oil that has been estimated by oil companies. The West will receive $100% of this. As the war is costing around $3 trillion, Your text goes hereone has only to calculate that as a barrel cost over $100, the financing of the war is nothing more than birdseed.

I don't think it was ever on the cards that America would just pack up and leave. Having a number of large bases in the Middle East would be too large a strategic advantage to give up.
