		<description>&lt;p&gt;U don’t read too good do you? The lead article said that Iraq was going to let the oil companies in on the profits rather than just a fee deal.  Which means they were going to hire the expertise originally.  Now they are talking about sharing the profits. Which means less for the Iraqi people. I said that Iraq should keep all its revenue, that does not preclude hiring expertise. I’m not sure about your claim that Iraq can’t develop its own oil without hiring an outside company. What’s wrong with hiring engineers and consultants and putting them on the payroll.  It’s a big world out there, I’ll bet there are lots of qualified people who would love to make some big bucks working for Iraq.  Unless we killed all the people in Iraq that have been running the oil fields all these years there is the basis for them to do it on their own with some outside help. I don’t know where my CPU was made, how do you? All my cars are and have always been American made;  I always buy American when it is available and I know about it.  Including my tennis shoes. I am a union member and proud of it.  Notice no ad hominem attacks on you. Insults don’t make your case.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“Maybe that’s natural now that the Obama administration is ending the war.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BZZZT. Wrong. Obama administration is not ‘ending the war.’ The war is already over. Obama administration is continuing the occupation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I think it is a huge mistake to allow the West back in the game. Iraq should keep all its revenue and divvy it up among all the Iraqis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Idiot, the oil industry is their whole economy and they NEED western oil companies to develop it because they cannot. The alternative you talk about is called “economic suicide”.
&lt;p&gt;Surely the part where you are told this is about Iraq offering terms and oil companies walking away for many years should clue you up as to what the situation is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it’s a huge mistake for you to write things like this on a computer powered by a chip made in Malaysia. Why have you chosen to do that ? Why haven’t you instead used a CPU made in Ohio and supported Americans ? Yes, that’s right.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;You are correct about WashingtonDC having no plans to control Iraq’s oil fields. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pentagon put in super bases and provides USAF control of Iraqi air space to clear way for western energy interests to gain access to Iraq’s oil. Also to menace Iran with possible shock and awe swoop ins or garrison Iraq to keep Iraq from attacking Israel with newly provided American arms and armed forces training. Can’t have that now after what IDF/IAF did to Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hell-Israel would come in broad daylight to refuel their planes if only bombing Yemen. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IAF run ins on Iran however may come in during the night due to need to mix in with USAF warplanes during the sortie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who ordered to keep our troops there? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who could order WashingtonDC around?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;WashingtonDC has no plans to control Iraq’s oil fields. It just that we’ve been ordered to keep our troops there so that the Israelis can come in at night and use the oil to refuel their planes as they go off to bomb Yemen.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The PNAC gang had Iraq in mind back in mid 1990’s and getting Dick Cheney into WH in 2001 surely was decisive to completing PNAC visions and goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iraq had been under sanctions/no fly zones since American War For Kuwait Oil back in early 1990’s yet the oil fields were still out of reach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/11/2001 was the game changer and allowed full American militarism ramp up for taking out Saddam,gaining Iraq oil fields access to Western energy interests and putting Iran on notice it should be very afraid of being next all based on ginned up GWOT scare and war mongering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ‘Shock and Awe’ unleashed on Iraq was not a great American military victory as Iraq’s armed forces had been declawed and defanged by the sanctions as were the Iraqi people.Americans came into Iraq more like overt agents of colonialism and Iraq was ripe for being made over into American run colony. Or so it seemed perhaps to Bush/Cheney regime. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It became plainly evident however Pentagon was way wrong on followup to the shock and awe part of invading Iraq. We know now Bush and Cheney fixed pre attack intel and had put the fix in to attack Iraq and be rid of Saddam and his regime to clear way to the oil fields.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six years later the Americans have not perfected the long stay details for remaining in Iraq and may well not be able to do so given the current SOFA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However Iraq’s oil fields must still be at the middle of WashingtonDC’s intent to keep those super-bases in Iraq one way or another.To keep ongoing USAF control of Iraq’s airspace. To train and equip on cost plus basis a new Iraqi military. To very likely have a hand in who will become Iraq’s next strongman/dictator given Iraq’s historical politics/corruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iraq is a smoldering pile of ruination to be sure six years after March 2003–now G.W.Bush plans for his new “library” are said to be void of his Iraq Attack debacle history–that’s really stand up tall on his part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel is still scheming on doing a Lebanon/Gaza on/in Iran.Netanyahu is just the guy to do it too as is that maniac Israeli maniac Lieberman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This ain’t over yet.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
