U.S. troops are starting their withdrawal from Iraqi cities, six years after the invasion, and two years before all American military forces are set to leave the country for good.
Iraq is now formally assuming control of security. But commanders from both sides say they expect al-Qaeda and other groups in the country to attempt to re-ignite sectarian tensions.
RT's political analyst Peter Lavelle and military expert Evgeny Khruschev discuss the meaning of the pull-out and largely agree that it is mostly a symbolic move and that, in some way or another, there will always be an American presence in Iraq.

The Great Bank Robbery: How the Federal Reserve is destroying AmericaAs global leaders struggle to rescue their nations from economic breakdown, the legitimacy of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is under attack. Perhaps the problem lies with the Fed. |
As I have tried to explain in many other topics, american leaders don't care about irakians, iranians, russians, brasilian etc. What they care about are the huge reserves of oil, gas and others naturals ressources which are ready to be grabbed in their countries. The US strategy has never changed since they took control of Canada, back in the 1930s. In the Middle-East it become costly but they found a way to make all mankind pay for it (the dollar is the World's trades' reference and they make it fluctuate as they please. They are also the greatest armaments and polices' equipments seller on Earth). Why should they change of strategy after so many success. Realizing that it become more and more difficult to force their ways in certain areas, they may request some kind of help or even association with Russia; but they will always be the boss. They are very good at manipulate peoples and at chess-masters, able to anticipate, actual russian leaders deceive me. They confuse wishfull thinking and realistic politics (20 years in America tought me a lot. They have a say: You can fool some of the peoples some of the times but not all the peoples all the time). Before meeting Mr Obama, just explain to your leaders that simple say; psychologically, they will have the edge. (americans, also have wickness and respect a person who is not scared). Sincerely.

I have been saying this since the day the United States launched this illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. The United States will never leave Iraq until every drop of oil is stolen from that country. We are an imperialist country. Always have been and always will be. It is the sad truth about the country I love so much. I wish we could change and it bothers me that we are the way we are. On the other hand my life on this earth is so short that I find myself getting so upset punching at policies and politicians that I cannot change. I try not to worry so much about how my country operates and instead try to concentrate on the little things in life that bring me happiness. The thhings that I do have control over is where I spend most of my energy these days. I am so happy I have found this site. It is very refreshing to get real news rather than the garbage we get here in the United States.
