America Is Open for Business in Iraq (Psst… Wanna Buy an M1 Tank?)

Click here to access article by Peter Van Buren from Veterans News Now.
The current American war in Iraq is a struggle in search of a goal. It began in August as a humanitarian intervention, morphed into a campaign to protect Americans in-country, became a plan to defend the Kurds, followed by a full-on crusade to defeat the new Islamic State (IS, aka ISIS, aka ISIL), and then… well, something in Syria to be determined at a later date.
Although I think there is plenty of evidence that the Empire directorate has goals such as control over the oil-rich Middle East, still this author recognizes how the beast of corporate profits is being well fed in this region.
