Iraqi elections...okay...fine...

...but isn't this just the glossy surface?

So much hype about these elections but isn't the real issue not being talked about...
THE OIL FIELDS!!!

I absolutely do not believe the USA would ever leave until they are militarily secured for the USA's interest.

Maybe news reporters should start focusing in on asking who or what "interest" are going to run the oil fields.
Will the oil revenue benefit the Iraqi people and how?

Elections are good but I think they are over hyped.
We need to "follow the money" because there we will find what motivates the USA staying in Iraq.
And the money is oil.

Where are the questions, from the media, regarding the oil fields and who controls them?
That is the pertinent question in my view.
That is what controls our "policy" over there, to a far greater degree than "democracy", now isn't it?
