The Real but Unspoken Reasons for the Upcoming Iraq War

Summary
Although completely suppressed in the U.S. media, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking - it an an oil CURRENCY war. The Real Reason for this upcoming war is this administrationââ¬â¢s goal of preventing further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves. This lengthy essay will discuss the macroeconomics of the ââ¬Åpetro-dollarââ¬Â and the unpublicized but real threat to U.S. economic hegemony from the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency.
THE REAL REASONS FOR THE UPCOMING WAR IN IRAQ:
A Macroeconomic and Geostrategic Analysis of the Unspoken Truth "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be ... The People cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe."
Those words by Thomas Jefferson embody the unfortunate state of affairs that have beset our nation. As our government prepares to go to war with Iraq, our country seems unable to answer even the most basic questions about this war. First, why is there virtually no international support to topple Saddam? If Iraqââ¬â¢s WMD program truly possessed the threat level that President Bush has repeatedly purported, why is there no international coalition to militarily disarm Saddam? Secondly, despite over 300 unfettered U.N inspections to date, there has been no evidence reported of a reconstituted Iraqi WMD program. Third, and despite Bushââ¬â¢s rhetoric, the CIA has not found any links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. To the contrary, some analysts believe it is far more likely Al Qaeda might acquire an unsecured former Soviet Union Weapon(s) of Mass Destruction, or potentially from sympathizers within a destabilized Pakistan.
Moreover, immediately following Congressââ¬â¢s vote on the Iraq Resolution, we suddenly became aware of North Koreaââ¬â¢s nuclear program violations. Kim Jong Il is processing uranium in order to produce nuclear weapons this year. President Bush has not provided a rationale answer as to why Saddamââ¬â¢s seemingly dormant WMD program possesses a more imminent threat that North Koreaââ¬â¢s active program? Strangely, Donald Rumsfeld suggested that if Saddam were ââ¬Åexiledââ¬Â we could avoid an Iraq war? Confused yet? Well, Iââ¬â¢m going to give their game away - the core driver for toppling Saddam is actually the euro currency, the âââ¬Å¡.
Although completely suppressed in the U.S. media, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking. The upcoming war in Iraq war is mostly about how the ruling class at Langley and the Bush oligarchy view hydrocarbons at the geo-strategic level, and the overarching macroeconomic threats to the U.S. dollar from the euro. The Real Reason for this upcoming war is this administrationââ¬â¢s goal of preventing further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves.

I don't see it, Ed.
I think the NWO plan has been and is for the Euro to eventually merge with the USD with then the USD being the official NWO currency anyway.
Iraq has been selling oil at market prices for the last 12 years so I don't put much credence on the oil aspect.
Iraq has never attacked the United States and rumors of Saddam's WMD threat to the United States is beyond ridiculous (and continued assertions thereof should piss off any reasonable person). [As an aside, I would not be surprised if the Mosaad, FBI and CIA "look the other way" while Muslims fanatics plan and carry out another attack on U.S. soil or, indeed, do it themselves while using the federal media to blame Islam, et. al.]
So what is left??? Well, that would be the lovely little Israel. Israel has ordered the pentagon to attack Iraq and Iran soon thereafter in what Israel hopes shall become a world wide attack by "Christianity" [that being, generally, America] upon Islam. Since Zionists own "Christianity" [that being, generally, America] but do not and cannot control Islam, the Zionists will order America to attack Islam.
Adding: Thanks to Israel and the Bush puppet, this whole war thing shall become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bushstein is inviting escalation by not securing our borders.

I agree, although currency may be an additional factor.

Yes, and think about this.
The natural, rational and reasonable reaction of America's Commander in Chief to 09/11 would have been to lock down the borders on 09/12. Inexplicably, this was not done. Why?
1) Bush, et.al, actually desire more terrorist attacks within the United States and locking down the borders would have impeded that desire.
2) By locking down the borders, the immivation upon the United States (an agenda sponsored and promoted by Bush, et. al) would be stopped.
3) Between allocating limited American military assests to protect the borders and dispatching the American military half way aroung the world on a combination Zionist/Big Oil mission, Bush chooses the latter.
4) Locking down the borders would necessarily have the ancillary consequence of immediately stopping the illegal drug trade. (#4 being, of course, hand in hand with the "Show me the money" theme of the posted article!)
