One must look behind the media frenzy around the "plan" to get a clearer idea of what is actually occurring in Iraq.
I recently spoke with Antonia Juhasz, author of The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time. A foreign policy expert, Juhasz writes, "The corporations, the neoconservatives, and the George W. Bush administration are three interlocking groups with fluid demarcations. Iraq represents several things to these players: oil, wealth, regional power, and global power. Iraq presents them with the first opportunity for a truly imperial invasion
as president Bush has repeatedly said, Iraq is only the beginning"
....................
"Production Sharing Agreements (PSA's) are what the Bush administration and the corporations they serve want," Juhasz told me, "This enables the US oil companies to have control and access to oil that they didn't have access to before the war. And as we all know, that is what this has been about all along."
She added that the permanent military bases in Iraq are to be used for providing security for the oil companies.
When one looks at the tragic situation on the ground in Iraq today, it is and always has been clear that the objective of the US military in Iraq has never had anything to do with providing security to the Iraqi people.
