Tovi you seem to worship the US government for some reason. You really seem to think they are godlike, superhumanly intelligent manipulators, that literally nothing happens on the planet without their consent.
You know what would've been super perfect if they just wanted to control the region for it's oil? Maybe setup a friendly, democratic regime in Iraq. They tried and failed spectacularly because they had no idea wtf they were doing and left the whole thing in charge of stupid neo-cons with zero understanding of the region and it's history. Now you're trying to pretend that it was all a carefully calculated maneuver? That they wanted their pet project to implode under sectarian warfare?
I mean, you stupidly claimed at one point in this thread that Iran was funding AQ. Only someone completely ignorant of even the most basic facts could claim something like that. I can only conclude you know absolutely nothing beyond what your infowars conspiracy websites brainwashed into your malleable, naive brain.
I don't see any conspiracy here. US imperialism has always worked this way : they knew about Pearl Harbour, Tonkin Gulf attack was a fake etc. Nothing new under the sun. In fact, now, you cannot talk about these methods without being a naive conspirationnist
(before 1989 you were a communist
)
America IS powerfull : 1st economy, 50% of the world military spendings and billions of $ spent in their secret services (NAS/CIA etc.), satellites etc. And you believe they can't stop some pityfull djihadists ?
USA fears the alliance of Russia, China and Iran. That's all and that's the only real threath to their hegemony.
When Iraq crisis started I was 17. I know this story from its begining and I know how the US diplomacy betrayed Saddam. When they can't kill a leader, they invade his country ( Nicaragua, Cuba, Iraq, Lybia). They surely do not control everything. In Iraq they've lost control on the Maliki's government (with a majority of chiites). That's why they try to "convince" him to change it to a national union gvt with 1/3 chia 1/3 sunni and 1/3 sunni. It looks reasonnable but absolutly not democratic as chia represent 60% of the population.
With a chia gvt, Iraq falls under Iran influence. That's what USA and Saudi Arabia wants to avoid at all price.
That's just basic geopolitics. But if you want to understand something, do not just listen to the politicians TV speechs and their "wars for freedom", "wars against terror" or whatever the fuck they call this.
Neo-cons are not stupids. Look to how many people have followed them.
Now read
this and enjoy.
