@ Gary:
Yup, you hit the nail square!
And America will NEVER be out of Iraq. The Iraq war is much too effective of a money-laundering operation for the ruling oligarch to be ended.

The argument that the invasion of Iraq was not about oil because it has now cost our country more than the oil it supposedly was meant to protect is specious. The fact is the “planners” of this war totally mis-estimated how long, how many, and how much. Their numbers made it look like it WAS a worthwhile move re: oil issues. It’s only now that the true cost suggests it was not an oil move.

Ali A. Allawi admits that the pretexts for the U.S. war were unfounded and the U.S. invasion of Iraq may have been illegal. Nevertheless he expects Iraqis will “move forward” with the present system. Allawi claims Iraqis are happy to have the U.S. Air Force “cover” their skies. Allawi also admits that he expects the U.S. to have an ongoing military presence in Iraq far beyond 2012.

A consensus of historians now agree that the pretext for the U.S. war in Vietnam was false, and it was an unnecessary and mistaken war. The Vietnamese have forgot and forgiven because all U.S. troops were forced to leave Vietnam.

As long as U.S. troops remain in Iraq, and that IS the plan, then a significant number of Iraqis will resist the continuing U.S. presence. That means the violence will not end until U.S. occupiers are forced to leave Iraq and those Iraqis who supported the U.S. presence are out of power.

wow with a guy like Ali A. Allawi, who needs a neo con,

He couldn’t even admit the Invasion was illegal, He also failed to mention the reason why the iraqi central government’s refusal and opposing the oil Law and the PSA agreements

The Iraqi oil deal set to go before the country’s parliament next month could spell the end of the country as a nation state, and signals a major Bush victory in the war. The proposed law not only opens the door to the big international oil companies, but offers them lucrative contract deals, and even a place on the national oil board that will run the industry.

The Byzantine scheme for dividing up oil revenues on the basis of population is little more than a facade for the biggest rip off of resources since the British barged into Mesopotamia more than a century ago.

While the deal, on its face, splits up control of Iraq’s oil among Kurds, Shia and Sunnis, the real power remains in the hands of international companies that will craft contracts with Iraq’s regional entities and put up most or all of the money for exploration, development of infrastructure, and actual production, primarily through financial devices known as production sharing agreements. These agreements, which are not widely used in the industry, typically involve a public and a private partner, and stipulate that oil revenue will first go to the private partner to cover expenses and exploration costs. In Iraq, those costs are likely to be considerable since the industrial infrastructure will have to be rebuilt in many areas and much of the country’s oil has not yet been mapped. Arguments between the parties will be settled by tribunals outside Iraq.

The new law would give the international companies the right to set the rates of production of each oil field. These fields are immense; a single one can account for 10 percent of the nation’s budget.

“Sovereignty is surrendered with this law,” Ewa Jasiecz of Platform, the London-based group that has followed the evolution of the new law, tells Mother Jones from London. “Their dealings are secretive, in English. Disputes will be settled by international tribunals in Paris or Geneva. They operate outside Iraqi law.” (Platform has published an extensive critique of Iraqi oil politics here.)

I would like to hear a program explaining the psychodynamic phenomenon of chickenhawks like Five-deferment Cheney, Pilonidal-cyst Limbaugh, plus Bush, Rove, Kristol, Hannity, Gingrich, W. other drumheads of the cowardly, neo-con right always being hoo-rah, gung-ho to send other peoples’ kids out to die and be maimed in their little ideological wars, and then calling anyone who questions it “unpatriotic.” When I occasionally see these individuals pop up on my TV screen I have a visceral, nauseous reaction until I can grab the remote and click them the hell off. They sicken me…

As above, liberals are experts at calling names…what do you expect from those with nothing substantive to say?

Yeah, right. Like the signs we see at teabagger rallies and the material that Politico.com released in the Repug’s fundraising PowerPoints yesterday. Yer funny, know that? Although not as funny as Steele’s dance over the Repug PowerPoint yesterday. Can’t buy entertainment like that.
