Both Political Parties in the US are delusional and are drinking Kool Aid. The Democratic Party is saying we can't win so we should pull out of Iraq, The Repblicans say we can't pull out until we win?

The Dems have it right we can't win, but we can't pull out either. The USA has to stay so that we don't lose. The US loses if the conflict in Iraq esculates beyond its borders and the free flow of oil is put at risk of disruption. The risk of that happening is so high that the US dare not leave Iraq.

What does the US stand to lose...EVERYTHING WE HAVE. That is why the war in Iraq stands to be the Greatest Diaster the US has ever faced.

The simple truth is that the world economy depends upon oil, without oil there is NO ECONOMY. The Free Market System that the US has built since the end of WW2 will crumble and that will be the end of the American Empire.

The American Empire is not built on occupation nor military force but Free Markets where Coke Cola, Disney, Malbough, Nike, Walmart, GM, Ford and even the Big Oil companies can set up shop around the world and influence cultural and political will with the making of a $$$$.

All of that comes to an end if the free flow of oil is disrupted.

The genius of the American System and the thing that made America Great is not its military, intellectual prowness nor Goodness. Its the idea of Liquidity and Cash Flow. Once the US became the Reserve Currency for the World we became an Empire and not merely a Nation.
