Why we will end up back in a Iraq War!



Successful Iraqi resistance compelled the U.S. to withdraw most of its forces from the country in 2011, exposing the military failure of the invasion. However, the U.S. still has not withdrawn all its forces from Iraq.

Washington claims that the Iraq war has ended, but this is untrue. The insurgency in Iraq continues, with an average of 95 people being killed every week. A major bombing or shooting happens there about twice a week.

Nine thousand U.S. mercenaries and hundreds of U.S. troops remain in Iraq, which also has the largest American embassy in the world staffed with 11,000 personnel. So, militarily, the U.S. is still highly involved in Iraq, training its repressive security forces and still not ruling out the re-deployment of more American troops there.

OIL, oil contracts that will need to be renegotiated if Iraq oil fields change hands. Oil contract are pennies on the dollar compared what they are worth today, oil bosses still own Washington, you see BP to ExxonMobil’s propaganda commercials over and over on TV on how many jobs as they create but don’t talk about profits that are billions every quarter, a cash cow. They have monopolized and fixed prices down to a science robbing the public to the world at will.
