Josh Marshall hits all the key points:

He also wrote out a lengthy post about it, which I'd like to recommend.

Keep it going. Help put it on the air.

Let us put ‘why’ the GOP might ‘want’ to stay in Iraq for one hundred years into context (instead of letting the GOP and McCain try to hide ‘why’ behind their reasoning of ‘how’ they might rationalize doing so in front of the shocked bewildered American Public.)

I think high-ranking and influential members of the Republican GOP might want to use permanent U.S. Military Bases in Iraq to levy influence over the Iraqi Government when it comes to oil prices and oil business deals. Like in order to say that the U.S. might help Iraq militarily with various issues if the Iraqi Government will give Republican American administrations or certain U.S. oil companies a good oil deal?

This type of an agenda cheapens United States Foreign Relation policies in front of the world, so therefore, it is not good as far the world taking America’s war against terrorism seriously. Furthermore, the Middle Eastern Public doesn’t like this financial agenda anymore than Democratic Party leadership and even if it might not always be happening with every administration, it's a big U.S. problem.

The problem is, neither the Democratic leadership nor the Middle Eastern Public can prove that this type of financial agenda is in fact sometimes happening to force Republican leadership to hold the GOP accountable which could further hold Middle Eastern leadership accountable.

So I suggest that Democratic leadership, through our elected Congress and new Administration, might create a Separate U.S. Ethics Committee, a new objective branch of the CIA, to monitor the U.S. Government’s public and private business oil communication with Middle Eastern leadership starting in Iraq.

These CIA/U.S. information reports on oil communication could be made nationally and internationally public in order to win American trust in the Middle East by holding this Republican agenda accountable and stopping it.

This communication’s report would also stop certain Middle Eastern leader’s agenda from sometimes possibly taking advantage of U.S. Military services for their own political purposes at the same time. While helping the Iraqi Government to win Iraq’s Public trust that the Government of Iraq is not taking advantage of the U.S. Militarily for their own political purposes.

Thank you. (I only wish my idea had more of a public platform than in a blog comment and I could have introduced my idea in a shorter fashion, which might be read by more people.)

I want to restate and add to my one paragraph FOR MY COUNTRY be it ever under a Republican or Democratic Administration...

‘This communication’s report would also stop certain Middle Eastern leader’s agenda from sometimes possibly taking advantage of U.S. Military services for their own political purposes at the same time. (OR EVER THWARTING THE ‘APPEARANCE’ OR ‘ACCUSATION’ OF THAT AMERICAN AGENDA TO THEIR UNBEKNOWNST UN-REPRESENTED MIDDLE EASTERN PUBLIC.) While helping the Iraqi Government to win Iraq’s Public trust that the Government of Iraq is NOT taking advantage of the U.S. Militarily for their own political purposes.

JUST LIKE AMERICA IS GETTING SOME OF THEIR CURRENT POLITICS UNDER CONTROL, AMERICA IS ALSO GOING TO GET THE MIDDLE EAST’S SLEAZE BALL INTERNATIONAL POLITICS TOO MAN...YOU WATCH!

A few years back the American media reported that members of Iraq’s Sunni sect thought that Iraq’s Shiite government was conspiring with the United States. The bewildered American public probably didn’t know what to make of that report and without the Sunni being represented in Iraq’s government people around the world had to guess what the Sunni’s might have meant.

I think what the Sunni’s then might have thought is that Iraq’s Shiite Government was making oil deals with the United States Government or U.S. oil companies in exchange for U.S. Military services to aid the Shiites sectarian issues against the Sunni sect?

Now here, a possible financial/military political agenda most probably was not happening or occurring on the United States part (for money). (Mind you, to certain vulnerable and ignorant Middle Eastern leaders surprise, if the U.S. wants to help any country militarily, the U.S. is going to help with or without an oil deal, although certain U.S. officials may be playing them otherwise.) However, why did the Sunni’s think that might have been happening on the Iraqi Governments part?

Maybe certain governments or Middle Eastern political groups have played this type of accusation since the U.S. helped Saudi Arabia against the Soviet Union when the financial oil/military accusation first came to public surface? Perhaps some Middle Eastern governments of certain sects have found a way to use their whole financial oil and military relationship with the United States to scare members of other sects in their country and region into silent submission?

Could some Middle Eastern leaders use the politics of this ‘always’ accused U.S. oil financial/military agenda and thwart or imply the ‘appearance’ that they can manipulate the U.S. and get the big U.S. Military after people of certain sects? Could that be partly why Iraq’s ’Government’ might, just might, accept John McCain’s one hundred-year permanent U.S. Military Base offer? Also, partly why some in the Iraqi Public might resent it, knowing that the Iraqi Shiite Government could play it politically for their political purposes? Further exposing why such a permanent U.S. Military Base might be seen as a target for insurgents and terrorists?

Wise up McCain! Might I say on behalf of the American and the Iraqi Public the current U.S. GOP leaders are looking mighty ‘vulnerable and ignorant’ these days?

OBAMA WILL FLUSH THE RIGHT-WING NUTS FROM THE WHITEHOUSE

The American Enterprise Institute and its pro-Zionist policy will be the first to go. Bush candidly admitted they are pro-Israel and made the case for the IRAQ war, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, and Richard Pearl among other will be out of work.

Attorney General Gonzales Justice system fired in the purge of officials and six of the U.S. attorneys, Bush loads up the Department responsible for criminal investigation with crazy right-wing religious Christian soldiers who do Cheney and Roves bidding. Rendition, Torture, Wiretaps, warrantless searches, signing statements..

We are in this mess because of Bush and his Texas oil buddies... I bet they are all REPUBLICANS.

Bush had six years with a super majority of NEOCONS in CONGRESS.. Remember the other NEOCONS dirt bags like Tom DeLay and the fat pig Dennis Hastert running things behind closed doors???


GOD BLESS THE DEMOCRATS FOR SAVING AMERICA from the Crazy right-wing NEOCONS...
