(No war in Iraq - http://pnews.org/) ========================================================================= Subscribe or Unsubscribe to PNEWS ("progressive" news and views) forums (on internet since 1982): --- http://pnews.org/signup.shtml ========================================================================= BUSH'S CRUSADE FOR DOMINATION "...General Zinni, a leading U.S.military figure and diplomat, has said that he doesn't know on which planet the hawks in Washington are living. And many others, including ex-President Carter, General Schwartzkopf and even officials in the intelligence (sic) community, have expressed similar sentiments." [Bertell Olman, "Why War With Iraq? Why Now?" - February 23, 2003, ZNet] Olman says "leaders of our Government are not that stupid or crazy, and war is too important a matter to go forward without good reasons. They have their reasons." Indeed they do and it is their holy crusade for oil and to absolutely control a region of the world where resources are just too important to leave to local rulers who don't always do what they're told to do. Olman says, "The Bush oiligarchy wants direct control over a country whose proven oil reserves are second only to those of Saudi Arabia. American oil giants own none of this oil now. How much do you think they will own one year after the war? Direct U.S. control over Iraqi oil will not only put the profits of selling the oil and servicing the oil fields into American hands, but will also also put the U.S. Government in a position to effect the price of oil by determining how much of it is put onto the market at any one time and to secure the dollar's position as the currency of choice in the purchase of oil by other countries (since 2000, Iraq has tried to undermine the hegemony of the dollar in world trade - with all its implications for U.S. financial domination - by selling its oil for Euros). And, as the availablility of this non-renewable source of energy begins to decline (it has been estimated that the world has about fifty years worth of oil left), the U.S. will be in a position to decide, almost unilaterally, which countries will grow and develop and which will not." Olman says controlling Iraq would also "secure the water supplies - not often mentioned - with which Iraq is blessed and all surrounding countries are to some degree dependent." He also states that conquering Iraq would "establish American military and political power - if not direct colonial control - of a major Arab country in the heart of the middle-east for an indefinite period to help ensure the existence of friendly governments and market economies throughout the region." AND, of course it is very important that the war also provides "a rationale to expand the military budget and with it the profits of the arms industry, which includes the oil industry." And since the objective of capturing Osama bin Laden by fighting the war in Afghanistan was never achieved this victory would "make Americans forget that we lost the war in Afghanistan, whose main objective was not to remove the Taliban but to destroy Al Queda and capture Ossama Bin Laden." Not to forget the diversion effect - to "upstage the media attention given to the failure of the Government's economic policies." UNEMPLOYMENT IS UP about 35% and the STOCK MARKET is DOWN about 35% since George W Bush became president.. Bush and Cheney have not yet been implicated in the many financial scandals which occured after he took office and that situation has been all but forgetten given the almost daily speeches by George Bush about the "evil" Saddam Hussein and the need to make war against Iraq. As noted by Olman, this establishes an "atmosphere of permanent crisis with its side-bars of fear and patriotism that will help the GOP to push through the rest of its ultra-conservative political agenda and win the next presidential election." There will be assumed undeniable advantages to Israel when the U.S. wins this war against Iraq although sometimes the obvious turns out to be wrong and this could backfire. My feeling about this is it will hurt Israel by the radicalization of even heretofore moderate Muslims who will consider this a U.S./Zionist plan to kill Muslims. To quote Olman: "It is no surprise then that among our Government's top foreign policy advisors some of the biggest hawks are right wing Zionists like - Paul Wolfowitz (Deputy Defense Secretary, who earlier in life wanted to immigrate to Israel and who wrote his first official paper calling for an invasion of Iraq back in 1992), Douglas Feith (Under Secretary for Policy in the Dept. of Defense), Elliot Abrams (National Security Council), Lewis Libby (Chief of Staff for Vice President Cheney), Eric Edelman (Libby's top assistant), and Richard Perle (Chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board, who the F.B.I. found passing classified information from the National Security Council to the Israeli Embassy when he was a Senate staffer in 1970 and who has worked as an election advisor for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu between 1996-'99) . Can you imagine the ruckus there would be if this number of communists or Free Masons or black nationalists were found in the higher reaches of our foreign policy establishment? Let me repeat that I am not speaking of Jews here but of right wing Zionists, or those who subscribe to an extreme version of a nationalist ideology that is currently in power in another country, a country that has a crucial stake in how the American Government acts in its region. Now, I don't believe that U.S. policy on Iraq has been made by these Zionists advisors, but neither do I believe that they are without influence in the matter or that their right wing Zionism does not affect what they tell Bush, or Cheney, or Rumsfeld. Rather,in my view, what we have here is a convergence of two imperialisms. It is Bush's and Sharon's complementary interests that have put them in bed together. The bevy of right wing Zionist advisors that surround Bush would have encouraged this tryst and perhaps served as match-maker." These are very dangerous times, not only for Iraq, but for Americans and for Israel. A war predicated on the reasons enumerated is the creation of a fascist-like adminstration. It is uncivilized to go to war, especially for these reasons. Many Israelis are opposed to this war. The whole world is proportionally against this war. Bush isn't listening. Protest this War....
