The Ghost of Iraq

In June 2014 Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki refused to accept a salvation government as his army continued to conduct mop-up operations against ISIL Takfiri militants.  Soon he was ousted.  Press TV reported that ISIL forces were trained at secret CIA camps inside Jordan.  ISIL uses US and Saudi-supplied weapons.
As Republican war hawks call for yet more blood and treasure to be spilled on the sands of Mesopotamia, oil prices crash due to ISIL’s stolen Syrian oil.  And military-industrial overlords prepare to milk the US Treasury for yet more contracts.
War is business and business is good.  For the banksters, permanent war has been the antidote to a deflationary death spire and the jail time that would surely follow.
