Hartman of Puplava's site, excellent view of Europe/USA issue

"Moving forward, it looks like we could have some big problems brewing on the monetary front. We are at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to post-war negotiations with France, Germany, Russia and others. If the arguments over Iraq get out of hand, we could end up with currency wars, trade wars, import tariffs, boycotts, and general “messy stuff” with those countries that used to be our partners and allies. It’s a ponderous situation. Our diplomats must be working some serious overtime! In the next few months, keep an eye on the developments in Iran and Syria, not to mention North Korea.

get ready for some incredibly bad decisions to be made
because Europe's powers were not onboard

the Halliburton $7B contracts are in the headlines
they should continue to be
no open-bid process
in the next few months, our self-interest in Iraq will be clear

we protected the oil fields
we DID NOT PROTECT the water pumping systems
we DID NOT PROTECT the Museum with its relics from antiquity
US Govt and US Military repeated promised they would protect the museum

we now step back and provide alibis why we dont restore order from looting of not only public buildings, but hospitals and private homes
AND THEN WE DENY THAT CHAOS IS GROWING
JUST LIKE WE DENY THAT RECESSION WAS UPON US
AND THAT INFLATION IS ALL OVER THE PLACE
