The goal of the War in Iraq is presently reflected in the price of OIL - $62.23. Today OPEC announced it will cut production to sustain the price established by The New World Order that is in control of the Global Supply of Oil.

911 leading to "The Global War on Terrorism" leading to the illegal War in Iraq was all started for the benefit of Saudi Arabia and the Royal Family, creating terrorist to destabilize the world's supply of Oil, and driving up the price. We should have invaded Saudi Arabia, then one could argue it was done to "enhance the wealth and power" of all Americans. Instead, The Royal Family, put in place by the British, is left in control of 40% of the World's endowment of Oil, the true weapon of mass destruction.  

All US citizens represented by Politicians are collectively responsible with the Auto Industry, GM - Ford- Chrysler and Big Oil, Mobil - Exxon - Chevron for not dealing with the reality of our shrinking Oil reserves and Increasing Pollution caused by huge gas guzzling cars and Suvs. OPEC fired one over our bow in the 70's. American arrogance and leadership failed to respond.

What OPEC learned and continues to learn is that the demand for Oil and energy are growing increasingly more inelastic as the world turns to capitalism. From a Global Economics perspective they are in a good place. The price will be set to maximize the Profit to the Royal Family.  $100 - $200 a barrel Oil is in our future.

Mission Accomplished - Bush betrayed all of us.  The real cost of the pervasive political corruption witnessed and condoned by my fellow Americans over the last 35 years is in the ten of trillions of $$$$$$$.

America is technically bankrupt, by 2020 it will know what that means, as our government prints cash to pay its bills. 

treating other people with contempt or disregard.

We are dealing with a family who think they are destined to rule, born to rule, so whatever they do is correct or at least excusable as a temporary mis-step. These people are not open to reason. Baker was not sent to reason. He was sent to manipulate....the American Public into thinking that an answer to the PROBLEM OF IRAQ has been formulated, and Bush 2 and Co. into doing just enough to quiet the American Public so that the Bushes do not lose out entirely.

 But, read their lips, the presence in and control of Iraq is not negotiable!!!!!!! 

It is like dealing with the seriously insane. First you have to realize that they do not think like you or me.

 

DO YOU THINK IF WE STARTED A MAYFLOWER FUND AND COLLECTED ENOUGH, THEY MIGHT BE PERSUADED TO MOVE TO THE FARM IN PARAGUAY? DADDY, MAMA, BROTHERS, SISTERS, COUSINS TO THE 21ST UNCLES, AUNTS, GRANDMAS, GRANDADDIES, DOGS, CATS, CANARIES. AND MAYBE BEST FRIENDS LIKE CHENEY, RUMMY, MISS TEETH, AND ALL THE OTHER CAST OF STRANGELOVE-LIKE CHARACTERS.    

Everyone in Washington including the President, Democrats and Republicans, as well as the media (including the reporter linked above - great article by the way) talk about Iraq as if the Dark One and His Minions, have the final say on Iraq's future. Not so. I have a bit of news that has been circulating for some time in the alternative news media - America has LOST the WAR. They fucked up. Big time. L O S T. They just don't realize that yet. The actual fate of Iraq is now in the hands of the Iraqi militias (Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis), not the Iraqi government and not Al Qaeda. Not Iran. Not Syria. For the first time in hundreds of years, the people of Iraq have their future in their hands and no one else's. And no one will solve this problem for them - it's theirs and theirs alone. They have played an extraordinarily intelligent game and have won. It's only a matter now of how they play the end game and how long it takes given the arrogance, the intransigence and the stupidity of their enemies. Advice to America, UK and others, including Iran and Syria. Get out. Get out NOW, TODAY, and leave these people to resolve Iraqi issues themselves. Or you yourselves will be caught up in a fire you cannot extinguish. Or, as the hollow-faced Iraqi Study Group has said, events will overtake you. To paraphrase something bin Laden said once - America has taken hold of a fire she can neither hold onto nor release. Some say he said that in regards to the Iraqi invasion. I prefer to think that he said that with the bigger picture in mind - that America has declared herself the enemy of the Muslim world by that act and by continuing to support Israel - and that in doing so, she will be consumed as an Empire.

 

Here is one of the best and sarcastic piece on Baker Panel by Matt Taibbi on Rolling Stone.

The third paragraph is the best summary of Baker Hamilton Report I have read. There is this silly talk of inviting Iran and Syria to a regional conference. It seems the arrogance of washington hoodlums knows no bounds. I mean they think they can threaten attack on syria and Iran whenever they want and invite them to talks whenever it suits them. Iranians are not fools. They have no interest in helping Bush Gang to extricate themselves. And more importantly they have no effective control on Iraqi Shias leave alone Sunni Insurgency. Sadr is actually anti Iranian.

I am not sure of Syria. Sy Hersh said recently that Bashar is writing letters to Bush promising help and calling for working together. But Bush (Read Cheney) is arrogantly dismissing Bashar's conciliatory moves. Bush Hoodlums are intent on shooting their foot into their mouth.
