w.`s push for US permanence in Iraq

The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq’s position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.

The fact that you guys believe this crap makes me think you have crossed over from being delusional to just plain insane.

I have no doubt the US wants to have a base or two there. But I do doubt that "The essence of this agreement is to turn the Iraqis into slaves of the Americans.”
