Noam Chomsky: The US says it is fighting for democracy - but is deaf to the cries of the Iraqis
They are not building a palatial embassy with the intention of going
Published: 11 February 2007
There are, then, very powerful reasons why the US and UK are likely to try in every possible way to maintain effective control over Iraq. The US is not constructing a palatial embassy, by far the largest in the world and virtually a separate city within Baghdad, and pouring money into military bases, with the intention of leaving Iraq to Iraqis. All of this is quite separate from the expectations that matters can be arranged so that US corporations profit from the vast riches of Iraq.
Most of us have known that this fiasco of a war has always been about the oil and not any form of Democracy.
