'Washington acts only when its agenda is at stake'

Embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki refuses to step down as the country's President names a new Premier. Anti-war activist Brian Becker says Washington has turned its back on Maliki because he no longer serves U.S. interests in Iraq.

- The US foreign policy machine works better when there's oil around. You know, to play one side against the other for the profits.....

1. Of course we only act when our agenda is at stake. What else is new?..

They don't even try to hide it anymore.

Natural gas fields off the coast of Gaza (gotta do some ethnic cleansing of Palestinians).

Shale gas deposits in eastern Ukraine (Support the illegal junta. Bring 'em cookies.)

Defending Erbil from ISIS (ExxonMobil) http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/oil-erbil

And now we've fallen out of love with Maliki. If he's not careful he'll end up like Gaddafi, who displeased the almighty US by wanting to put the African continent on the gold Dinar instead of the PETRODOLLAR. Tsk tsk... Oh, wait...it was a humanitarian intervention. Yeah, that's it.

It boggles the mind.
