(32,324 posts)Our troops went in and suddenly Exxon has the rights to their oil, Motorola has the rights to rebuild their communications industry, and on and on.
Even the provision that only Gm seed be sold to Iraqi farmers was put together by American Indsutry captains. And then that provision was inserted in their new "Constitution."
If this is not the occupation of a nation by use of force, and a capture of the Iraqi people's monies and their resources, I don't know what would be.
Obama of course, can't be blamed for any lies told in his speech, as he is a mere speechifying puppet, always willing to say what the PTb inform him needs to be said.
He has never demonstrated any curiosity in matters he speechifies about, so he has little information. he even once (Apr 2009) gave a speech about how he can't be blamed for the direction that the economy was about to go off in, as he had never paid attention to economic matters while he spent two years running for the nation's highest office. Instead, he admitted his focus was on our two wars.
