PRESIDENT SIGNS DOCUMENT EFFECTIVELY MAKING IRAQ A COLONY OF THE U.S.A
11/27/2007
I’m not sure that I’ve read a more sickening document than the one that was released by the White House yesterday entitled ‘Declaration of Principles for a Long-Term Relationship of Cooperation and Friendship Between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America’.
Encapsulated in this document is the geo-political reality of what the Bush/Cheney administration and their neoconservative and Likudnik supporters had set out to achieve since the day George W. Bush became President of the US.
Far from ‘liberating’ the Iraqi people from the ‘yoke of tyranny’ for them to become a ‘free and democratic’ model to which all other Middle Eastern states could aspire, which was the propaganda and rhetoric used by the neoconservatives that convinced the Coalition of the Willing that Iraq was a ‘noble and righteous cause’, the declaration instead condemns Iraq to an endless occupation designed to enhance the power of the elite puppets of Iraq, and to ensure that Iraq’s resources remain firmly under American control and enriching American controlled oil companies. In short, the document is the instrument by which Iraq has effectively become a colony of the US.
There are several iniquitous points made in the document that betray the real intent of the administration but, in particular, point five of the second principle relating to ‘the economic sphere’ which says: “Facilitating and encouraging the flow of foreign investments to Iraq, especially American investments, to contribute to the reconstruction and rebuilding of Iraq,” and point eight which says: “Supporting the Republic of Iraq to obtain positive and preferential trading conditions for Iraq within the global marketplace including accession to the World Trade Organization and most favored nation status with the United States,” says it all.
Iraq’s puppet leaders have signed over Iraq to the US.

BAGHDAD, Nov 27 (KUNA) — Leader of the majority in the Iraqi National Assembly (Parliament), Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim on Tuesday left for Washington on an official visit upon invitation by the US Administration..
Al-Hakim is leading a delegation from the United Iraqi Alliance leaders and Shiite MPs on the visit, director of relations, culture and media in the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC) Sheikh Hamid Rashid Mala said.
According to Mala, the leader of the Iraqi Alliance will discuss with the US officials a host of issues relevant to the Iraqi scene and the political and security developments in the country.
The Alliance had demanded dragging Iraq from under the Seventh Article of the UN Charter as well as concluding an agreement to put and end to the existence of foreign troops in the country.
It also stressed the dire need for enforcing the provinces law, speeding up steps for the oil and gas bill and respecting the independence of the judiciary as well as implementing the verdicts against those condemned in the Anfal Campaign.
In addition, the Supreme Council noted that foreign troops were “temporarily” in Iraq and that the international community had to help the country to rebuild its troops and security bodies to be able to assume full responsibility.(end)
