I fagged 5 time of life in Saudi Arabia relating 96 and 2001 as a civilian on the job as an IT decision maker for a leading oil corporation. I cognize diminutive nearly the oil industry. But serviceable next to an global crowd, I cultured slightly a few holding out at hand.

The war in Iraq is an markedly heatedly disputed message. But I am going to relate you any property you may not know something like to instruct you a bit. I presume a least education is the key to production accurate decisions.

1. War is big business

The US government went into Vietnam because they felt that they well-read an valuable lesson: War is big conglomerate. A lot of companies made a lot of backing during Vietnam. And they are fetching asset of this in Iraq (ex Halliburton). It is honest that our US tax dollars pay for the war. But the benefits to the US may far do better than the monetary system that will be worn out on this war. It exceeds more than than just deed the oil fluent. But that is individual as longish as the US wins the war.

2. The second best has to pay reparations

While in Saudi Arabia during the time betwixt Gulf War I and II, my supporter got a job on the East Coast of Saudi Arabia to comb up the beaches in the Persian Gulf. Who was profitable for this? Iraq was. They were profitable for this because of a lilliputian identified reality that the second best of a war has to pay for reparations. If we \\"win\\" Iraq, we get to save domination and we get means rear legs for reparations. If we lose, we pay.

3. Iraq is the ordinal large oil maker in the world

Saudi Arabia is the greatest oil producing territorial division in the global. They only recently shut low the unbelievably prototypic oil pumping installation that was ready-made (about 80 old age of oil came out of that one tract). The United States is but in bed near Saudi Arabia. We don\\'t standardize them, but we have had a bad understanding near them since the days of FDR. And I expect we will go along to do so. But you ne'er cognize what strength appear...

Iraq is the digit 2 oil maker in the international. So why not get in bed near them as well? Makes knack to me not to put all of your foodstuff in one container. Even better, let\\'s gain lead of their oil, and noise downcast one bases to assure that the oil keeps fluent. If we domination the oil, we hog the proceeds as capably.

4. Privatization of oil

The United States wishes to denationalise the oil in Iraq. What this agency is that the United States will control the oil and confer the administrative division a portion of the proceeds. They have to do this in order to lend a hand pay for the grand damage of this war. This previously owned to be the overnight case many eld ago in Saudi Arabia lower than Aramco. The Saudi\\'s had to do this, because they did not cognize how to do admin oil productivity or refining. Once the Saudis figured out how to bring home the bacon their own oil flow, they took make conform and now sale the oil to the US.
The Iraqi\\'s merely have this experience. The US requirements to hold the income from them.

5. They poverty to maintain an eye (and arm) on the put your feet up of the Middle East.

A proposal given to me by a hackney carriage driver one day was particularly newsworthy. He said that the United States uses Israel and their bases to preserve an eye on the Middle East. If this is the case, it would bring in suffer to put bases in Iraq (which they have), and resource an arm in the middle of the whole Middle East; rightly betwixt Iran and Syria.

The US expects that Iran may kick off creating atomic warheads in the close few time of life. So it is big to resource the bases close so they can support Iran below cartel. They calmness the Persian Gulf and they poverty to be able to formation them by come to rest from Iraq\\'s tenderloin if entail be. The US is too in coalition beside Afghanistan now who borders Iran on their Eastern loin.

Syria has been suspect of causing guns to Hezbollah who fights the Israelis beside them. Israel and allied Jordan are on Syria\\'s South, and related Turkey in the North. With Iraq now being on their Eastern border, their lone state is the war in shreds Lebanon. They won\\'t have a unplanned.

The Iraq war at this barb is at the spear where on earth they call for to transport more force in, or yank out. If they dispatch more military personnel in, the US may condition to instigate the bill of exchange again. They poorness to convey in 20,000 troops, but nearby are single 9,000 unclaimed. Where will they come with from? More relatives (on both sides) will also sure die.

If the US pulls out, they put in the wrong place the war and those pecuniary benefits will be missing. They won\\'t have specified a fastness on the Middle East. If Iran should go nuclear, their will not be by a long chalk we can do. If Syria gives nukes to the Hezbollah, Israel will be dead.

It is a touch give the name. Is it really coming to the interview of \\"Are we really just exchanging humor for oil?\\" Or is it more than than that?
