Iraq: Permanent Extension

Not by 2011. The construction of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad shows that Americans are not working to leave the Arab country in two years, but will remain as long as possible, potentially for decades.

News agencies, television, and newspapers have launched a propaganda campaign over a signed “treaty” between the Washington government and the false Iraqi authorities, according to which U.S. troops will remain in ancient Mesopotamia until 2011.

The justification for the stay has been the preparation of official troops charged with protection of the government against bombs, torture, assassination, and corruption.

But those intending to leave do not construct, at the price of 736 million dollars, a new building with surveillance and protection equipment, in the middle of the Green Zone, which is the most guarded place in the capital of Tigris.

Why would Bush and the ghostlike people in his government construct such a complex if they actually intend to remove their aggressive troops within two years.

President Jalal Talabani is situated in the old presidential palace, where the embassy now stands, well protected by the guard of the U.S. aggressors’ diplomatic buildings.

The inauguration of the U.S. ambassador, Ryan Crocker, took place in the presence of Talabani himself and the assassin of Central America, John Negroponte, all smiles in front of the enormous complex of 21 buildings that may contain modern espionage equipment for closely following the the steps of the Iraqi employees in the government.

The investment, which includes protection against rockets, howitzers and Iraqi bullets, has turned it into the most important U.S. property in the world.

If in two years they remove 140,000 men who occupy the country of 1,001 Nights, it is simply to maintain the dominion of oil and the zone for as long as they can.

I wonder if this much armed concrete might be for hiding cells in their basements, similar to those they have in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and who knows how many other places in the world.

There are buildings that will remain vacant and there is talk of renting them in order to tone down the costs. The slowing of the U.S. economy started approximately three years ago. So why this expense? Have they miscalculated the quantity of personnel who would occupy the buildings?

Talabani and the prime minister, Nuri al Maliki, are not likely to oppose an “extension” if the order comes from the White House.
