The new surge to 200,000 US troops in Iraq plus thousands of mercenary contractor-soldiers, the biggest US Embassy in the world, permanent US military bases and the Bush administration's new admission that they may occupy Iraq for as long as they occupied South Korea, 60 years, are all hard evidence that the Bush neocon administration never intended to leave Iraq. As seen below the US Democrats reinforce the Bush regime on this, and will keep on funding the war for as long as it takes.

The US and UK may soon make war on Iran to try and add this country to their joint imperial conquest.

In order to overcome growing domestic opposition, Bush will have to resort to extreme measures and 'false flag' dirty tricks to convert the US people to the way he wants them to think and act.

A tall order, but Bush and his administration have shown they are capable of any crime to get what they want and cover up previous war crimes. Such as inventing a long list of lies to fool the American people and get their backing, and that of the Democratic Congress, for the war in Iraq. Although the US public have shown they are against the war at the moment, that may be seen more as a temporary problem that can be reversed by the right combination of dirty tricks, new lies and 'terrorist' warnings, and the right propaganda by Bush's ever-willing mass media.

The US public, including many liberal commentators, have shown they are always willing to swallow the big lies, but get angry over the smaller lies and the details - such as the length and frequency of US troop assignments to Iraq. That suits Bush.

But the American public can change the situation and dump Bush, if they ever become sufficiently motivated and dedicated.

Iraq Occupation Coming to a Head Over Oil

by Kevin Zeese, June 8, 2007

T he situation in Iraq is coming to a head. Oil workers have been on strike for three days and are being threatened by the Iraqi government and surrounded by the Iraqi military. The Parliament passed a resolution urging an end to the U.S. occupation and has refused to act on the oil law the U.S. is demanding. Both the Democrats in Congress and the Bush Administration have united around the passage of the oil law as the top benchmark for the Iraqi government.

If these trends continue it will become evident to the world what this war was about all along--oil. Even the U.S. media will have to publish an honest analysis of the Iraq oil law and why Iraqis are resisting it.

Perhaps the greatest threat to the U.S. occupation came this week when the Iraq Parliament passed a law opposing the continuation of the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq. The law requires the parliament's approval of any future extensions of the mandate, which have previously been made by Iraq's prime minister. Law makers say they plan on blocking the extension of the coalition's mandate when it comes up for renewal six months from now. The last time the UN mandate was extended Prime Minister Maliki acted without consultation with the parliament and they reacted angrily. Now, they are acting before the mandate can be extended to make their voices heard.

The parliament has not acted on the oil law submitted to them on February 26th despite aggressive U.S. pressure. The Democratic leadership in Congress joined with President Bush to make passage of the law the top benchmark to show success of the government. Both Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Gates have made recent trips to the region to urge passage of the law. But, the parliament is resisting--even threatening to take a vacation rather than pass the oil law.

In Congress, Dennis Kucinich has tried to raise the issue of the unfairness of the oil law in a Democratic caucus meeting. Rep. David Obey erupted in anger and name calling at Kucinich's suggestion that the benchmark requiring passage of the oil law was part of the theft of Iraq's primary resource. Kucinich did not respond to Obey's angry name calling but instead made an hour long speech describing the Iraq oil law and how it would result in U.S. oil companies controlling their market and reaping most of the profits from Iraqi oil.
