The Permanent Role of the U.S. Military in Iraq

So, what will the permanent role of the American military in Iraq be? It will be at least two-fold, and will not doubt still require a permanent force of thousands of soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen, just like we have in Korea and other places of the world where conflict is possible. The U.S. military will largely consist of aviation units and airborne infantry to guard oil infrastructure from the air and to act as a strategic support of the Iraqi military in guarding the U.S. vetted government of Iraq. Attack helicopters and jet fighters and bombers will be present in Iraq for the long-term to guard the oil wells and pipelines by relentless patrolling. They will guard the Green Zone. They will be able to bomb insurgents who threaten American bases or Iraqi puppets. They are being able to punish Iraqis for fighting the illegitimate government, such as by more bombing of Fallujah. American forces will be available in the future to patrol Iraq's borders and to launch attacks into neighboring Arab countries from within Iraq.

e.g. Iran is not kissing Cheney's butt, so clearly they must be invaded.

It's why we're so desperate to get them impeached or whatever. We don't want to be stuck in the middle of WWIII (or WWIV as the neofascists say).

in order to staff those permanent bases. Recuritment is at an all time low.
