Title: Fake Withdrawal? 'US won't leave Iraq oil to Iran'

Description:
Despite the US's declared withdrawal of its military personnel and contractors out of Iraq, Washington has prepared to control the country's rich oil reserves in any case, shared Ranjit Singh Kalha, former India's ambassador to Iraq in the 1990s. Having spent $3 trillion in Iraq, a country with harsh weather conditions (+50 C most of the time) and absolutely nothing valuable but oil reserves, the Americans simply cannot give up the plentiful and very high quality oil they went there for. "It takes $1.50 to take out this oil that's just below the surface. Anybody who has access to this oil can be a game changer -- as far as the politics of oil is concerned," Ranjit Singh Kalha concluded. The problem Americans encountered in Iraq is that once given "some symbols" of democracy, the Iraqi voted for a Shia-led government. The headache is that the Shia traditionally have close links with Iran, the core territory of this affiliation. "That is the present dilemma. If you withdraw from Iraq completely, you leave this vast oil wealth of Iraq in the hands of Shia (Iran-oriented) government. And therefore it upsets the political balance in the Middle East," Ranjit Singh Kalha explained. He said that to counter such adverse developments the US will have almost 20,000-strong embassy in Baghdad (the largest US embassy in the world) and consulates in Basra, Kerkuk and in northern Kurd-inhabited territory, each consulate 1,000-strong. "Americans cannot afford to be completely absent from Iraq," the former ambassador argued, adding he does not see any lessening of American influence in Iraq. Iraq is a multi-confessional country and to curb religious extremism all previous country's rulers had to be very tough with the population, the diplomat stressed. In Saddam's Iraq most of the military and law enforcement was Sunni and the rule of law was first of all a rule of military power preventing sectarian violence. Today's Iraq is ruled by Shia government which does not have the necessary experience of ruling with an iron fist, so the country risks a full fledged civil war to start at any time given. American troops will not go far from Iraq -- they will be re-deployed to next door Kuwait. RT on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_com RT on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTnews

Apr 6, 2012 - You are most welcome to learn more about Islam and to ask me any questions which you may have about Islam. Also if you look at my documentary videos on my channel, there's a lot of films about the lives of the Prophets including the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and Abraham (pbuh). One more thing, Allah is the same God in all the other Abrahamic faiths, who is the Creator of the universe. All the best to you, regards ~

Apr 7, 2012 - I agree with you, but Christianity has been diluted for the past 2000 yrs. We Jehovah Witness don't believe that Jesus Christ is god, he was the son of god who came down as a messenger and died for our sins. We prais the same God but with different interpretation. The last days is right around the corner and God prophecy is unfolding in front of our eyes.
mauiluna13 Says:
Apr 7, 2012 - Us Jehovah Witness don't vote, we don't go to war even if we get drafted we would refuse and go to jail, we believe in paradise, and we dont ask people for money, we don't celebrate pegan holidays. My point is, out of all the Christendom religion, we follow what the bible says and practice what we preach. The place we worship is called congregation and other false Cristians call thier place of worship church. We true Christians are different from the false Christians.

Apr 7, 2012 - Let our creator [Allah//Jehovah] be with us. Both the same but in differet interpretationsOne day I hope to see you in paradise!!.
majocco712 Says:
Apr 7, 2012 - They are trying to dilute Islam too, by using feminists, naked activists, and claiming that Islam has no place in the modern world. Actually all religions are being wiped out and replaced by diluted versions as I believe the world is ruled by a Satanic society.Yes you are right, the prophecies are unfolding and they are trying to destroy the middle east and replace it with divided secular pro-Western regimes. Especially a lot of prophecies regarding the Holy Land! How can people ignore this.
majocco712 Says:
Apr 7, 2012 - That's good. The main point is to please God and get to paradise, yes.
majocco712 Says:
Apr 7, 2012 - O yes, one day I hope to meet you in the highest levels of paradise.let us pray to the Almighty, give charity and do good deeds, and work only for His cause~Dania

korpsr1 Says:
Apr 13, 2012 - jesus christ is part of god in the flesh.
mauiluna13 Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - What Are you saying? Jesus Christ is part God? Jesus is the son of god that Jehovah god send down to preach the gospol of the new testament and died for our sins! So are you saying, when Jesus Christ was getting crucified and he ask his father, why have you for saken me. So, was he talking to himself??
majocco712 Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - Yh that's right and also how could Jesus have given his life if he was the same as God, and God was alive throughout the whole time? So does that mean he didn't give his life and sacrificed nothing?
mauiluna13 Says:
Apr 17, 2012 - Like I said, Chrstianity is so diluted. They believe Jesus Christ is God the creator of the universe..lol!

Apr 29, 2012 - This kills me,the U.S.to keep control over Iraqi oil.I am an American U.S.Army veteran of the Vietnam war,and this country is the Epitome of a rogue nation,it amazes me that this nation uses its' military to secure natural resources,that it doesn't own.The legend of the Native American,just keeps repeating itself over &over with the name of the next society to conquer,and pillage the major difference.History repeating itself!Let Halliburton fight for itself, thieves.

May 20, 2012 - All countries..specially the oil rich are a target of the "Divide and rule" concept of the Jews.they want to divide us , make us turn on each other , hate each other .. if that didn't exist we would all live in harmony and peace , really believing that we are each others brothers and sisters and not just saying it.
Tomas1242 Says:
May 26, 2012 - Nah, I'm just enlisting in the Marines so I can serve this country personally, whatever that entails.

majocco712 Says:
Apr 6, 2012 - Well, the true believers are being persecuted everywhere as we live in a God-less world. Anyway, the main difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christians believe that Jesus is God, while Muslims believe that he's someone sent by God. Also Muslims must follow all the instructions in the holy Qur'an as we believe it is the ad verbatim word of God. Here is a chapter of the Qur'an with English interpretation if you would like to listen to it youtube.com/v/ftlkLWimgHA
