It sounds good to read your story about big crisis in Iraq and its effects upon the people. I noticed some students get essay writing service for their papers which is apparently good choice. But Iraqi people have big problem in writing as English is not their native language so they can also get this service.Eileenhttp://www.essayplanet.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-69440670414721516492014-06-19T07:17:01.135-04:002014-06-19T07:17:01.135-04:00I was happy to see you mention that Joe Biden'...I was happy to see you mention that Joe Biden's been right all along, notwithstanding the brickbats that greeted his remarks at the time about a tri-partite division. And it's clear from the White House session with congressional leaders that Mr. Obama is feeling no compunction to jump headlong into this mess -- even if Boehner, McCain, et al. keep trying to pillory him for not being precipitous enough.. .<br /><br />Fact is, this will almost surely fester into another proxy war for the Saudis v. the Iranians, just as Syria has become. And then -- if you read the NYT's account in Thursday's edition about the collaboration between ISIS and Saddam's old Baathist general & troops (which the Saudis are likely to be underwriting) -- just as Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Quds Force are jumping into the fray supposedly to protect the Shiite shrines south of Baghdad -- well, this has all the makings of some royal fireworks.<br /> <br />It's surely hard to see which dog we have in this race.<br /> <br />The US is allegedly still allied with the Saudis, but that tie has definitely unwound since the Bushies left the game (as well as Jim Baker and his Carlyle Group). Meanwhile -- though the neocons and most of the congressional GOP can't stand to countenance it -- Tehran seems to be coming around. It may be only for reasons linked to its sorry economy, but there's a regime now in place that is at least able to chat with our negotiators, most especially the US-educated foreign minister, Zarif, whose sitting at the nuke talks table nowadays.<br /> <br />The Saudi king seems mostly pissed at us of late, and pursues his own agenda -- especially regarding his and Qatar's arming of the nastiest folk fighting Syria's Assad.<br /> <br />All this is fast becoming the Mesopatamian version of The Great Game, and the players seem far too busy taking on each other to constitute any immediate threat to what the Bushies have forever after cast as "The Homeland." But what do I know? Maybe I'd better go watch "Lawrence of Arabia."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-58885990364774256342014-06-18T17:43:22.040-04:002014-06-18T17:43:22.040-04:00Don't forget Bush/Cheney/Halliburton's con...Don't forget Bush/Cheney/Halliburton's continual demand for the Iraqi government to pass an "oil law" that would turn over most of the development of Iraq's petroleum resources to Western transnats.<br />The Iraqi regarded this demand as armed robbery by the US, and rightly so.joel haneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946546309257239019noreply@blogger.com
