CHENEY and team intractable positions on the Iraq War have been impossible to dislodge, with moral logic or diplomatic reasoning. There is no tragedy or deed too dark to contemplate and implement, if it furthers their end. And their end is to lock up large oil reserves for America.
They are convinced that worldwide supply will soon be overwhelmed by demand and that the American Way of Life can only proceed with a robust economy. And there will be no robust economy without large oil reserves preserved now for American useage over the coming 50 years. They see no choice but to take over sufficient oil reserves, one way or another. Any US action, that does not assure locking up large oil reserves, is seen as a form of the surrender of America. There is no horrific war casualty or collateral damage, regardless of extent, that will be cause any re-assessment of this strategy and objective. For they view any change.... as total surrender of American power, wealth and influence.... the surrender of the American Dynasty.
No discusion is warranted with these Neo-cons, unless we can shift the discussion and argument... from why we must end the war in Iraq..... to .... Can the USA survive and thrive in the near and distant future, without controling foreign oil reserves? Because, unless you get Cheney to agree that we can thrive without mid east oil....there is nothing to discuss with him about Iraq. And assuming he doesn't change his assumption about the requirement of locking in these reservses for America and his belief that Iraq was the best oil "safe to crack"....he will not let our troops leave Iraq, until the Iraq Oil Law is in effect, and its regulations have been implemented. These regulations will go a long way to assure American Oil Companies the opportunity to dominate the development and distribution of Iraqi Oil.
The War in Iraq will not see an exit strategy until this new Iraq Oil Law, now in draft form, is voted into law. This law, as now drafted, offers the US oil companies the ability to control the development and distribution of Iraq Oil and the opportunity to participate in the massive profits.
Keep you eye on the ball.... AND THE BALL IS THE OIL.
