[CLUE-Talk] More reasons why the War is about greed / oil / capitalism

[Jeffery Cann]

"Powell and senior State Department officials, along
with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, have
maintained that a quick turnover from U.S. military
control to the United Nations would give postwar Iraq
more international legitimacy. They believe it also
would encourage participation in the reconstruction
effort by countries that opposed Bush’s decision to go
to war without U.N. authorization."

"But Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul D. Wolfowitz,
supported by Vice President Cheney, have been leery of
any substantial U.N. role on grounds that it would
inhibit U.S. ability to shape Iraq’s future. Under a
postwar plan supervised by Undersecretary of Defense
Douglas J. Feith, the military would maintain control
of Iraq for an indefinite period, until new
institutions could be constructed and a representative
Iraqi government installed. The plan allows a U.N.
role in humanitarian assistance, under U.S.
supervision."

If the goal of the Bush administration is to liberate
Iraq, why would these individuals be worried about the
U.N. inhibiting the U.S.?

Also, why has the period of U.S. military control
moved from 6 months, as reported at the start of the
war by Donald Rumsfeld to an 'indefinite period'?

Finally, why are the real intentions of our actions in
this unjust war now coming to light?  Stay tuned, it's
going to get uglier.

Welcome to the United States, the new Imperialist of
the 21st centruy.
