Everything to do with invading and occupying Iraq begins and ends with oil. The only way any Plan can succeed will depend upon what happens to the oil.
Bush has failed miserably in Afghanistan, irreversibly lost the war in Iraq, and can Never Successfully “Complete the Mission”
Bush has created 3 Civil Wars
Not only is Iraq in an all out Civil War fueled by Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia … but Bush, along with Israel, has created Three Civil Wars at the same time – Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine – escalating both the probability of an all out regional conflict and nuclear crisis that only replacing our troops in Iraq can prevent.
At a time terrorists and insurgents will soon have nuclear weapons in suitcases to set off in our subways and nuclear plants, this is the only Plan that will stop the impending worldwide nuclear catastrophe Bush and those wanting to “stay the course” are blindly and unknowingly pushing us into, including escalating the nuclear crisis with Iran and North Korea – a crisis Bush could end with two simple phone calls.
This is the only Plan that restores America to Its role as a Moral Superpower and – because it stops our Military from being spread too thin as it is now – it also restores America to Its role as the world’s greatest Military Superpower.
(What would we do tomorrow if North Korea invaded South Korea with their million man Army and Seoul only 30 miles away?)
Why occupying American troops can never bring peace, stability or democracy to Iraq.
This Replacement Plan is the only one that will:
· By replacing our troops with a non-hated, welcomed international G8 force (China, Russia, France et al), bring real security, stability and freedom to Iraq
· Stop the endless senseless slaughter, maiming and mutilation of our American heroes by having all of our troops home by Easter
· Dramatically reduce the daily Civil War bloodbath of 100 people killed every day, and hundreds more maimed and mutilated
· With the hated “Satan” American occupiers gone - take a crucial first step towards stopping the rapidly escalating global war already spreading in the Middle East.
The only Plan that can stop the rapid deterioration and collapse of the entire Middle East
With the wheels having already come off the Civil War in Iraq, the greatest military and diplomacy failure in American history, this is the only Plan that can stop the rapidly spreading regional war - the additional Civil Wars in Lebanon and Palestine - and prevent the greatest Middle East catastrophe in history.
How? By placing this same G8 international force in Lebanon and Palestine, as well as Iraq. With an international force in Iraq, it will be impossible not to have an international force in Lebanon and Palestine protecting Israel, Lebanon and Palestine, and preventing the spread of the Middle East and Global war further. And stopping cold Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia’s desire for the Iraqi oil and gas.
Nothing will bring peace and stability to the Middle East quicker than this Replacement Plan.
This is the only Exit Plan centered on Oil
All the Exit Plans being discussed ignore the real reason we invaded and are occupying Iraq – the oil - and unless the oil issue is addressed, you cannot have a successful withdrawal. Here are the undisputed facts few Americans know about and almost no one is taking into account when trying to develop an Exit Strategy to Iraq.
Was the invasion and occupation of Iraq all about oil?
Absolutely! The following hard facts – that will come as a shock to almost every American – will prove beyond any possible doubt that the invasion and continued occupation of Iraq was and is to make Iraq an American oil colony …
… and the only way to bring peace and stability to Iraq and the Middle East, and start winning the war on worldwide terror is to give up Iraq as an American oil colony.
Before Bush was even sworn in in 2000, he had already approved Plans to Invade and Occupy Iraq as an Oil Colony
Long before 9/11 -- before Bush was even sworn in in 2000 – Bush had approved Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz’s detailed plans to invade and occupy Iraq as an American oil colony, including building 14 permanent military bases, the world’s largest embassy (6,000 people) etc. Why? None of these were necessary if our real reason was to get rid of Hussein and stop his WMD and nuclear buildups as we were told.
In January 2003 Bush confides to Blair that Hussein was not involved in 9/11, was not aligned with Al Qaeda, and there was no WMD or nuclear threat, but he was still determined to invade Iraq. Why? (Downing Street Memo of January 31, 2003.)
The only reason was to control Iraq’s oil and use Iraq as a base to control all the other countries in the Middle East, and their oil and natural gas – as all of the major energy companies were briefed at that ultra-secret meeting with Cheney in the White House, that Bush has gone to the Supreme Court to keep secret.
All we have to do to stop the rapidly escalating chaos that Iraq now is and bring true stability, order and real freedom to Iraq, to stop the daily hemorrhaging of American and Iraqi blood, and bring our troops home by Easter is to give back the oil and replace our troops with coalition forces from Russia, China, France etc., none of whom are hated as the “demon-infidel-Satan” American invaders/occupiers are. In fact, most of them have been openly supportive and helpful to Iraq.
How can we get other G8 Nations to replace us?
Why should other G8 nations send their troops to Iraq?
For the leaders of these countries, or any country to send their people and taxpayers’ money into Iraq to protect Cheney’s Halliburton and Friends’ oil would be politically insane.
Once you understand Iraq is all about oil, the Exit Plan to end the uncon-scionable blood-shed is simple and immediately available – Give back the oil to the Iraqis to lease to whomever they choose - Russia, China, France, etc.
In return for the oil, these countries will rush to take over the peacekeeping, the training of the Iraqi forces, and the reconstruction of Iraq. They will be welcomed because they are replacing the hated empire-building Neo-Con occupiers who they see in the same light as the Europeans saw the Nazi oc-cupiers of France, Belgium, etc.
These G8 countries know what the whole world knows … Bush and Cheney have no intention of getting out of their Oil Colony Iraq
Everyone in Iraq, the Middle East and the entire world knows that Bush and the Oil Oligarchy has no intention of ever getting out of Iraq, for everyone in the Middle East knows that Iraqi troops will never replace American troops as long as America occupies Iraq.
“It’s indulging unrealistic fantasies to think we’re going to build Iraqi troops to fill the gap.”
- Former Ambassador to Iraq,
Paul Bremer
While Bush & Company continue to con the American people that we will bring our troops home as soon as the “Iraqi forces stand up,” instead of giving a date certain because they claim it will aid the enemy, the hard fact is the reason they sell their “if and when they stand up – we will stand down” policy is because they know Iraqi forces are never going to “fill the gap.”
No less an authority, and a fanatic Bush supporter than former Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III, the person Bush personally chose to go to Iraq, rebuild the country and install a democracy, declares openly in his new book that those in Washington who refused to put adequate numbers of troops in Iraq because they believed Iraqi forces would replace our troops were “indulging unrealistic fantasies about training vast numbers of Iraqis to fill the gaps.” It hasn’t happened, it never will happen. For more as to why it will never happen.*
Proof of Bremer’s prediction is that in virtually the same time it took to begin, fight and win WWII against two of the greatest military machines ever assembled, in two widely separate parts of the world, and in spite of Bush’s claim there are over 300,000 Iraqis trained, and in spite of the fact we train a highly skilled soldier or Marine in four to six months, the Iraqi force is so pathetic and incompetent, even though they are over 300,000 strong, we can’t dare leave Iraq.
Further Proof that Bush invaded Iraq solely for the Oil is true to his Pre-Inauguration Invasion Plans, Bush has built 14 Military Bases in Iraq
“The Americans want to build an empire, protect Israel and win oil. They are like the Roman Empire conquering land from Afghanistan to Iraq. They want the entire world to obey their rules.”
-- Ahmed Lachine, Head of an Egyptian village
Insider experts know that despite Bush’s rhetoric of turning Iraq back to the Iraqis, in a plan that will hopelessly fail as long as Americans occupy Iraq. Bush, according to his detailed invasion and occupation plans, has actually built at least 14, and as many as 20 permanent military bases, and as many as 100 temporary military bases throughout Iraq from which he can make quick pre-emptive strikes throughout the Middle East. With these bases, and controlling the richest oil nation in the world, Bush can dictate whatever terms he wishes to all the other Middle Eastern oil nations.
Middle Eastern leaders, Arab, Islamic, European et al, all know that Bush is now the Emperor of the Middle East, completely controls OPEC, and he will never give back the oil during his term. Bush and Cheney now are OPEC.
Under this Plan, America is guaranteed all the oil and gas it needs at a premium price
An essential condition of the Plan is that America get a ½-2% royalty to reimburse It for all the costs spent in removing Hussein and reconstruction, and an absolute guarantee that America will receive all the oil It needs before any other country’s needs are met, and at a preferred price that guarantees Americans will never have to pay more than $1.65 at the pump.
(Only 2% of the Iraqi population view America as friends and liberators. 82 members of the newly elected Parliament have asked Bush to remove American troops immediately because the American occupiers are the primary cause of the insurgency that has become so out of control. Conquest and coercion has always created resentment and a desire for revenge, and Iraq has become the motivator and THE training ground for terrorists all over the world.)
Cheney did not want to share any Iraqi oil with China, Russia, France et al
“Getting the United Nations to pass the resolution has nothing to do with Hussein being a nuclear threat. It has every-thing to do with which oil field the US is willing to give to the other superpowers for their vote.”
-- Qatari Foreign Minister,
Sheik Jaber al Thani, before Bush’s 2003 State of the Union Address.
If Americans knew what happened at Cheney’s ultra-secret White House Meeting with the energy multinationals, America would have never supported the war
Just after Bush was inaugurated, Cheney held a top-secret meeting with the oil and energy multi-nationals telling them of Bush’s detailed invasion and occupation plans to get control of Iraq’s oil and gas, and the role they would play in it. If the pubic knew of the content of this meeting, America would have never approved going to war – which is why Cheney has gone all the way to the Supreme Court to prevent the public from knowing what went on in that meeting – even “bribing” Justice Scalia with an all paid luxury resort vacation on a corporate jet weeks before this case came before the Supreme Court.
This also is the reason Cheney vehemently opposed any UN involvement from the beginning, and fought against even trying to get UN approval is because Cheney did not want to have to share the oil with any country.
The only way Bush and Blair could take the oil leases away from France, Russia, China, etc. and control all of the oil in Iraq was by force -- and to do that they had to find a pretense to illegally invade Iraq with or without the United Nations approval. 9/11 gave them that pretense. (Remember, Bush had already made the firm decision to invade Iraq for its oil before he was even sworn in as President -- and long before 9/11.)
The magnificent McGovern “Marshall” Plan to rebuild Iraq is crucial to restoring America’s Moral Authority and a giant step towards winning, instead of failing, in the war on terror
This Plan very quickly achieves every goal those who argue to stay or escalate want achieved – plus additional goals as outlined in George McGovern’s Exit Plan are equally vital to the National Security of America in its urgent need to stop the worldwide spread of terrorism – but will be impossible to achieve if we stay or escalate
This Plan is a Godsend to the Iraqi people and a Godsend to our Troops. At the same time it strengthens America’s position as the world’s premier military superpower, it also covers America with honor and the respect of the entire world as She resumes Her position of Moral Authority – as not only the premier military super-power, but the premier Moral Superpower in the world -- ushering in a new era of international cooperation essen-tial to successfully defeating escalating terrorism spreading to every corner of the world at a time terrorists will soon be able to put nuclear bombs in suitcases and pickup trucks.
Give back the oil ~ Bring home the troops ~ Give real freedom to the Iraqis
* 87% of 374 voters – 61% who were Republican or initially favored going to war – once they learned the facts and information of this Exit Plan, no matter what Plan they previously backed, chose this “Give back the Oil – Replace our Troops” Exit Plan as the only way to bring real stability, peace and freedom to Iraq, and bring our troops home by Christmas
