Recently our erstwhile Defence Minister admitted that OIL was one of the strategic reasons for Australia being in the mess now in IRAQ. Very little has been said about it, as if silence will make the facts go away.
How long this conflict will continue or if or when Iran will join in and Saudi Arabia disintegrate into Wahhabbi Sunni Fighting as the Caliphate is being set up. Why do we need to be there? To hold Uncle Sam’s hand in this adventure seems to be the only reason. After all, Iraq wasn’t a threat to Australia or the US despite the Rhetoric coming out of Canberra and Washington DC.
Someday the truth will out but when is the question, I personally am getting impatient:)
