Our government does not intend to get out of Iraq
until every last drop of their oil is gone.
They have built permanent military bases all along the oil pipelines
in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

The neocons WANT an excuse to keep our army camped out on top of those oil reserves.
If things were peachy, our government would face even more pressure to bring our troops home.

Sooooo...we see mostly ignored news items like this:

That end with:
U.S. officials had no immediate comment.

2. To serve and protect oil global barons
W has no emotional or economic ties to the U.S. citizens and workers. None whatsoever.

People are finally waking up.

3. This needs to be repeated every. single. day.
We are not leaving Iraq. Ever.

All of the posturing and doublespeak is absolute crap. We are in Iraq forever.

4. That information about the permanent bases has been
out there for years, yet not a single news outlet has made a point of doing stories about it. I think it's really very important for Americans to know that we are colonizing a foreign country against their will.
