Then again, if, as you insist, oil is paramount to US elites then the Pentagon is barking up the wrong tree: the US military should be redeployed in Canada! Time for the yanks to occupy Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba! For, with crude oil at $50/bbl, Canada's oil sands are a steal:
Do you think the US doesn't know about Canadian oil?
Good point. You know what the answer is? The U.S. doesn't overtly interfere with other anglo countries like Canada. Arabs and other ethinic groups are fair game for U.S. policy makers, but fellow anglos are on the same team more or less, and wouldn't tolerate overt U.S. interference, so they are left alone. Besides, the U.S. can control Canadian oil sands when the price makes it worth it for the U.S. to do so, by buying up controlling stakes in the Canadian companies.
One thing Gus has to realize about our attack against Iraq is that we were actually proded into attacking Iraq by an arab rival, Iran, not by Israel. Iran introduced the U.S. to Chabalis, the guy who told us the far flung stories about WMDs. Sure, Israel has benefitted from Saddam's fall from grace, but it was Iraq's rival Iran who really was pulling the strings, and trying to fan the flames of war. We did Iran a big favor by toppling Saddam. |
