The Bush Dilemma – The Iraq Gamble Simply Cannot Fail

Do not expect the Bush Administration, or any Democratic administration that replaces it to pull out of Iraq. To do so in the face of Peak Oil would be to pull the plug from America’s economy, which would be like removing the drain plug from the oil pan of your favorite SUV and driving it until the motor blows.

Iraq was a strategic move. It was a desperate move, but the explanations were designed to hide the REAL desperate explanation of the move, and create a false, desperate explanation. America was facing a desperate situation, but it was not about weapons of mass destruction or about the need for democracy in Iraq. It was about the passage over a mountain peak, the Hubbert Peak. It was about the risk of not having control on the way down the other side of that peak. It was about whether America would free-fall to disaster, or keeps the economy’s engine going down the slope, while the rest of the world came to us for their oil.

That is still the American plan. We must control the oil, and if we can’t get control, we may have to use nuclear weapons or some other scorched earth policy to ensure that no one dominates us.
