A good way to use U.N sanctions.... in 1972 when Iraqi oil was nationalized, American and British oil companies were thrown out while all major deals were set with companies from China, Russia, France etc etc but the dynamic duo imposed sanctions through their bitch U.N made sure that those companies won't get dick out of Iraq. When the time was right....BOOM!..... INVASION.... out goes Saddam and in comes the dynamic duo. What a fucked up world it is. |
An Iran/Iraq Shia alliance would be the most likely outcome if and when the US pulls out of Iraq. The proposed puppet government in Iraq isn't responding entirely the way the US/UK invaders intended. They have refused to break from OPEC, they are resisting the denationalization of their oil industry, they are resisting a permanent presence by the invaders and they are forming closer ties with Iran. So they are not quite the subservient beaten dog puppet government the US and UK had hoped for.
If the US and its cronies pull out of Iraq the present Shia led government would need some assistance from Iranian Shia allies to control the country. Saddam Hussein brought some order and relative peace to Iraq by ruling with a brutal iron fist. Any future government of Iraq would have to do the same to avoid ongoing civil war. The Iraq government has a choice of allies to call on for the military muscle to subdue the powerful opposing ethnic factions. They can go with the USA and roll over to become puppets while their countries wealth is siphoned off, or they can go with Iran and maintain their autonomy. This is quite obviously the reason the US is reluctant to pull out. If they quit now, its all been for shit and back to square one or worse, (although Iraq would be much better off without them in the long run).
The present government in Iraq is clearly strengthening ties with Iran while at the same time resisting political, military and economic domination by USA.
There isn't room in Iraq for both USA and Iran.
The true liberators of Iraq may well end up being Iran.
