The Iraq Cash Cow

Here is an interesting take on what has been going on in Iraq:

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has refused to accept a salvation government as his army continues to conduct mop-up operations against ISIL Takfiri militants. Press TV reports that ISIL forces were trained at secret CIA camps inside Jordan. ISIL uses US and Saudi-supplied weapons.

As City of London mercenaries now known as ISIL – their previous name ISIS apparently being too obviously creepy – soften up Iraq for partition, the geopolitical energy derby continue apace.

The plan was always to seize the Kirkuk oilfields in the north by declaring a new nation of Kurdistan.  The partition of Basra in the south will also be required, for here lies the giant Rumaila oilfield – the biggest prize of all.  Baghdad and the middle of the country will be left to the Iraqis – impoverished and war torn – with the phony Sunni/Shia split fully exploited.  There is no oil here.

Estimates of Iraqi crude reserves continue to climb.  The current estimate is 112 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia and up from 97 billion barrels just a decade ago.  And much of Iraq remains unexplored.  David Mangan Jr., editor of The Oil Daily, later said of the Gulf War, “It is most likely that the US plan from the beginning was to capture Southern Iraq because that land holds the richest oil fields on earth.”

Is this really jihad and caliphate, or just more of the West's oil shenanigans? Will we ever know for certain?
