The BILL for the IRAQ WAR
State by State
The unprovoked "shock and awe" attack on Iraq was to serve several economic purposes:
(1) Safeguard the U.S. economy by re-denominating Iraqi oil in U.S. dollars, instead of the euro, to try to lock the world back into dollar oil trading so the U.S. would remain the dominant world power-militarily and economically.
(2) Send a clear message to other oil producers as to what will happen to them if they abandon the dollar matrix.
(3) Place the second largest oil reserve under direct U.S. control.
(4) Create a subject state where the U.S. can maintain a huge force to dominate the Middle East and its oil.
(5) Create a severe setback to the European Union and its euro, the only trading block and currency strong enough to attack U.S. dominance of the world through trade.
(6) Free its forces (ultimately) so that it can begin operations against those countries that are trying to disengage themselves from U.S. dollar imperialism-such as Venezuela, where the U.S. has supported the attempted overthrow of a democratic government by a junta more friendly to U. S. business/oil interests.
