America’s True Intentions in the Mideast

US President George Bush is apparently reluctant to accept the recommendations of the bipartisan report on the US invasion of Iraq prepared by James Baker and Lee Hamilton. The president is particularly unhappy about its recommendation to pull out US forces from Iraq in 15 months.

The report has come under fire from the ultra right-wingers at the White House. The report has also prompted a war of words between supporters and detractors of the president, signifying the end of the relative truce between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

Those who are close to the president accuse the report of being biased against the administration because it refers to the Iraq policy as a failure. The White House argues that a president in power knows better about the complications in Iraq than an inquiry committee does. One may ask then why the president agreed in the first place to set up a committee to inquire about what is happening in Iraq?

In his attempt to dodge the pressures from Arab and other countries for the US to pull out from Iraq, the new US Defense Secretary Robert Gates spoke like Condoleezza Rice who said to her Middle Eastern audience, according to a report of the Associated Press, that the war, which has cost $350 billion in cash and the lives of 2,987 US soldiers so far, is a good investment because a stable Iraq will pave the way for the birth of a new Middle East. In other words the US will not hesitate to do anything to pave the way for a total US presence in the region.

After his first visit to Iraq, Robert Gates said “Let the friends and foes of the United States know that America would remain in the region for a long time armed with a new strategy.” Now it is abundantly clear that the US is determined to control the Middle East at any cost. All the earlier claims about introducing true democracy and establishing peace were a few slogans that bought time while they implemented their real motive, which is to colonize and fragment the remaining countries in the region so that they can never become powerful.

One wonders what prompts the US to colonize Arab countries? It is certainly not to take control of the vast energy resources here. There is no reason why it needs worry about the supply of fuel because the West never in the past had had any difficulty in buying our oil, nor is likely to have any in the future.

There are people who believe that the US wants to keep Arab countries under its control in order to guarantee the existence and safety of Israel. Israel does not, obviously, need any outside help for its self-defense or aggression. It has built up a mighty military machine and amassed an arsenal of advanced weapons including nuclear warheads. It is ridiculous to suppose that Israel’s problems with its neighbors are more important to the US than its own strategic interests. Israel is no more than a tool in the US strategic scheme to strike at the Arab countries that refuse to toe the US line.

In fact, the real motive for the US occupation of the Middle East is to stop the growing power of Muslims and weaken Arab countries, as well as putting an end to the increasing trend of people, particularly blacks, embracing Islam in the US and Western Europe.

The US should understand that it will be very tough to continue the occupation of Iraq, where tribal and religious interests count a lot. More than two-thirds of Americans are now gradually waking up to the realities and want the pullout of their soldiers from Iraq, as reported by the Sawa Radio recently, because they do not want their sons to die in Iraq and because they do not believe the White House spin-doctors.
