The Guardian: America and Britain formed 17 teams to manage Iraq's oil after the war
London / Agencies
British newspaper The Guardian said that the increase in the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf to avoid a potential global energy crisis, which is paid on the Iraq war planners, not weapons of mass destruction nor democracy.
This coincided with the eleventh anniversary of the Iraq war in 2003. However, much of the media did not explore the real motive behind the invasion of the Anglo - American for this country. She said the reports were unsuccessful and inefficient for the effort bad administration to liberate Iraq from tyranny, and the course of the war is full of incompetence on a large scale, but this does not erase the lie cold logic and strategic prompted planners of the war in the United States and Britain in the first place.
And made it clear that based on the draft infamous your document (the New American Century), signed by senior officials of the Bush administration in 1997, "including the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the justification for an immediate," the United States "in order to play a more permanent role in Gulf security, the need for the presence of forces large U.S. in the Gulf region beyond the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein. " So Saddam's weapons of mass destruction were not the case, not even Saddam himself.
The British newspaper said that the real issue frankly mentioned in the 2001 report on "energy security", commissioned by the then U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, published by the Council on Foreign Relations and the James Baker Institute for Public Relations.
According to the newspaper, the 2001 report warned of the global energy crisis is imminent that would increase the vulnerability of the United States and the world, and its inability to pay and to cope with the vagaries of unprecedented energy prices. The report said that the main source of the deficit is the "tension in the Middle East," in particular, and that Iraq is the one that poses the threat.
The report indicated that U.S. officials had lost confidence of Saddam Hussein because of his policies volatile and unpredictable in the export of energy, in 2000, Iraq has become "productive swinging open the taps oil and closes when it feels that such action is in the favor of Strutijeth., And there is a possibility to interrupt Saddam oil Iraqi market for a period of time in order to harm the prices. remains of Iraq wobbling effect in the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East, also expressed his desire to the threat of Saddam using the oil weapon and to use its export to manipulate oil markets.
This would expose his personal power and enhances his image as a nationalist and putting pressure on others in order to lift economic sanctions on the regime. The United States must take the approach that an immediate toward Iraq including guesses military, economic, political, diplomatic, and then it is to develop a strategy associated with the most prominent allies in Europe and Asia, and with the important countries in the Middle East, in order to re-establish goals in regard to policy toward Iraq and the restoration of the coalition coherent prominent allies. "
The Iraq war, in part because of the significant benefits of the oil conglomerates Anglo - American, which was a bonus. The real goal - also claim Craig Muttitt in his book "poured fuel on the fire", citing files not sorted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2003 upwards - is the stability of global energy supply by ensuring the flow of Iraqi oil to world markets, and the benefits for American companies and British, which was formed an important goal, but secondary.
And is the most important strategic interest in expanding global energy supplies through foreign investment in some of the largest oil reserves in the world, especially Iraq, and this is in line with the secondary goal of securing contracts for their companies. The newspaper noted that the strategy documents published here refers to "the British energy supply and global", is the British energy security by being global supply ample - and not for a specific flow.
The documents show that the United States and Britain were seeking to privatize Iraq's oil production to allow foreign companies to control it. According to details of the meeting held on 12 Maes said that "the future shape of the Iraqi industry will affect the oil markets and the work of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and in both of them will be our vital interests., And the desired result of the Iraqi oil industry winding is the oil sector open to attract foreign investment with appropriate arrangements for the exploitation of new fields" .
It adds the documents, saying "look participation of foreign companies as the only possible solution" to make Iraq a reliable source of oil. This would be "politically sensitive" and "requires careful addressed in order to avoid the impression that we are trying to push the Iraqis to a specific path."
And should the media, which claimed that there is no planning for post-war Iraq, a closer look at the public records. The truth is that the plans are extended for reconstruction after the war had been followed up, but they did not consider the issues of humanitarian and community, but also focused on keeping the structures of the authoritarian regime of Saddam after dropping, while it has upgraded the infrastructure of Iraq's oil for the benefit of foreign investors.
For example, the group confirmed recent reports of how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to form 17 separate working group to work out a plan of action after the war. "Iraq will be judged senior U.S. military official .. a civil administration to impose military law." I imagined the United States "and a major U.S. role in the management of long reconstruction of the country .. with an ongoing role for thousands of U.S. troops stationed over the coming years in the defense of the oil fields, which in turn will be privatized with other industries, Dolly."
For his part, Lieutenant General James Oilleri, adviser to the Foreign Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad since 2003, the critical role of Iraqi oil reserves to alleviate the global shortage of oil. I helped in the war in Iraq to avoid what he described as Oilleri b "wave Tashreeq", and the transition of power the global political and economic direction of China and India, which goes to them two-thirds of Middle East oil.
And stresses the importance of strategic Oilleri to Iraqi oil fields in relation to the danger of production peaks being breached in the huge oil reserves in the world. Says "the escalation of Russian production to 10 million barrels per day, and proved that African oil is slow and does not provide additional supplies at affordable prices. Thus the large increase only the near-term will be from Iraq."
Whether Iraq preferably east or west, that would be destabilizing not only within the region but also in distant countries. He says Oilleri that "Iraq holds the key to stability in the region, due to a population of relatively large and the consumer, but being the second largest oil reserves untapped, but its geopolitical Road between Asia and Europe and the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa - which he serves as the Silk Road."
Despite the instability and rising domestic terrorism, the Iraq regains today rank as one of the fastest-exporting countries in the world. So the primary motive for the war - the mobilization of Iraqi oil production to maintain the global flow and moderate world prices - has been successful so far, according to the International Energy Agency.
After a ten-year-old, no doubt that the Iraq war in 2003, was among the first major resource wars in the twentieth century and atheist, and certainly will not be the last.
