Translation: the United States will control the oil fields of Iraq. Bow down, or be cut out. The same terms will apply to the entire Middle East and Central Asia, as the U.S. expands its military presence.
In the September 15 article, puppet-in-waiting Ahmed Chalabi, leader of the pitiful gaggle of exiles the U.S. plans to install as the "government" of Iraq, looked forward to handing over the oil fields to a U.S.-led consortium.
"American companies will have a big shot at Iraqi oil," he said.
A Power of One
In the 1884-85 Berlin Conference, the European powers, Turkey and the U.S. divided the globe into areas of influence. In 2002, the U.S. is claiming the whole planet as its protectorate. The price of access to vital resources, is obedience. Whatever happens at the United Nations in the coming weeks and months will be in response to this U.S. threat.
This explains the behavior of Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose countrymen chafe at his role as "poodle" for Bush even as opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to a U.S.-British invasion of Iraq, especially within Blair's own Labour Party. Blair believes his fealty to Bush will ensure that Britain gets its share of the spoils.
