The Military May Be the Next Bubble to Burst


Reuters

John McCain believes that maintaining current troop levels in Iraq will lead to reconciliation.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want phased withdrawals beginning immediately.
The consensus is stay the course for a while and hope for a better tomorrow.
In 2007 the Congress should have cut the funding of the war to force a withdrawal. They didn’t because they wanted an unstable Iraq, which requires a disruptive American presence. The continuing turmoil allows hope for big oil companies to control oil production indefinitely.
If the Republicans can rig the Fall Election, McCain can smooth the way for Hillary’s 2012 bid by dying in office. If Obama prevails, there is a good chance he will be assassinated. Hence, there is a possibility we will be in Iraq for a very long time.
The Saudis, Japanese and particularly the Chinese have financed the war almost from its inception. Amassing $1.4 trillions of US Treasury Bills, China may assume the responsibilities the Congress refused to shoulder last year. By using dollars to invest in Euros, other stable currencies or financial instruments, she could put a damper on American lusts for hegemony.

As the saying goes, Our chances of getting out of this with a good result are Slim and None. And Slim left town.

Bush cannot allow the US Olympic Team to boycott the games this year. First, sports has nothing to do with politics and the USOC is entirely independent of this government... or any government. Second, our owners, the Chinese, would call our loans!
