Here we go againâŚ
In related news, Vice President Dick Chaney was critical of the President.
Time for gas stations to up the price within hours of this news.
âOkay, weâre going to go to Iraq, topple the extant regime, replace it with a puppet government, and leave!â
âWhat happens when the toothless, unprepared puppet government which lacks true authority or acceptance gets toppled by the first usurper to look at it funny?â
âI donât understand the question.â
âWhat happens when the puppet government fails?â
âHow could that happen?â
Up $0.15 in four hours here. Quelle suprise.
Assholes.
Seriously, then youâll have the apologists come out, âhey, man,itâs just supply and demandâ
No, shitbag, itâs not.
Itâs called gouging, thereâs a difference.
Welp, we didnât get to bomb the Iranians, and we didnât get to bomb Assadâs forces in Syria. As a consolation prize, we can bomb ISIS, the people fighting the Iranians and Assadâs forces in Syria.
While the US bears responsibility for releasing the dictatorial bonds holding back Civil War, this IS a Civil War in Iraq. There is no way the US benefits by taking aggressive action favoring one side or the other.
The US might benefit if it could intervene in some humanitarian way.
Or it could benefit by invading, killing anyone who objects, raping away the oil wealth and then abandoning the smoldering husk to the enraged survivors.
I donât think the US is ready to kill 90% of the population of Iraq (although the neocons might be.)
Cheney and Karl Rove must be toasting themselves in Roger Ailesâ bunker. Obama is in a no-win situation. If he does nothing, ISIS makes progress, losing our âwinsâ in Iraq. If he helps the Maliki government, we would almost literally be fighting with Iranians as our allies, with any gains we make directly benefiting Iran.
And no one but the European media sources remind us just how we entered Iraq in the first place. All mainstream US media start with the factoid that 4486 Americans lost their lives âdefendingâ Iraq.
Th-That hand, moving those oil prices, is thatâŚcan it be? The Invisible Hand?
Never mind, itâs Dick Cheney again.
Talk to me, Goose.
Ah, I crack myself upâŚ
