We're going to be in Iraq for a long time. We can't survive if we let go of the oil. That's what this war has always been about - the oil.
We have to stay because we have to keep control of that oil. The oil industry has known for years that the oil is running out faster than expected, faster than their official reserve estimates suggest, and Bush, as the representative of the oil industry, knows we will need that oil to survive the next twenty years.
We're going to have to let the shia and sunni kill each other, while we fortify the oil fields.
The middle eat as a whole will hate us forever, but their power will be over in a hundrd years, and they will be back to being little starving desert tribes.
"U.S. Army commanders and enlisted men who are patrolling east Baghdad, ...said al-Sadr's militias had heavily infiltrated the Iraqi police and army units that they've trained and armed.
"Half of them are JAM. They'll wave at us during the day and shoot at us during the night," said 1st Lt. Dan Quinn, a platoon leader in the Army's 1st Infantry Division, using the initials of the militia's Arabic name, Jaish al Mahdi. "People (in America) think it's bad, but that we control the city. That's not the way it is. They control it, and they let us drive around. It's hostile territory."

"All the Shiites have to do is tell everyone to lay low, wait for the Americans to leave, then when they leave you have a target list and within a day they'll kill every Sunni leader in the country. It'll be called the `Day of Death' or something like that," said 1st Lt. Alain Etienne, 34, of Brooklyn, N.Y. "They say, `Wait, and we will be victorious.' That's what they preach. And it will be their victory."
Quinn agreed.
"Honestly, within six months of us leaving, the way Iranian clerics run the country behind the scenes, it'll be the same way here with Sadr," said Quinn, 25, of Cleveland. "He already runs our side of the river."
