[ltr]Documentation: America's planned invasion of the Gulf in 1973 and carried out the same scenario to invade Iraq in 2003[/ltr]
[ltr][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Washington-Iraq Press -12 April: according to documents released by the United States, said theUS administration had planned to invade theOrganization of Petroleum Exporting Countries nations Petroleum "OPEC" and the use of force, with these countries , especially the countries ofSaudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE, after it bannedthe Arab country 's oil - producing trade with theUnited States, the last scenario was used to invade Saudi Arabia , which was proposed in 1973. thirty years later, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, accordingto the newspaper "The National Interest."
The paper disclosed the content of the documents included information about the intention of America's use of force against the Gulf states in theaftermath of the October War, indicating that the US Secretary of Defense Hlpsongr was an instigator of it.
The newspaper considered that the final months of 1973 were times when desperate, as the country has banned the Arab oil -producing trade with the United States in October, due to the provision of US aid to Israel during the Yom Kippur War , or what is known to Jews as the "Day of Atonement."
The paper says: "While the ban was lifted the damage was achieved, more than doubling in world oil prices quadrupled; what led to stagnation in economic Aharakat, and inflation in prices, and it is difficult for any US citizen who has lived in theseventies to forget the long lines at gas stations, which was waving green flags or the red signal to contain the fuel in Amadkhathm or not. "
She adds: "With today 's oil market is suffering from the recession and falling oil prices, it is difficult for one to imagine that over time the Americans where they buy gas on certain days depending on the containment of the dashboard on an odd number or my husband."
The relay :, " The world turned upside down, where the rich countries, turned oil than just productive resources at the mercyof Western countries and major oil companies to the global hegemony of states overnight, and it shows the flow of a lot of money and armed by the most expensive types of weapons, and shuddered world then before the Organization of Petroleum exporting countries "OPEC", which controls the constituent members about mostly from Middle Eastern countries, President artery of the world economy. "
Like the rest of the world, the United States paid subjecting oil prices exaggerated. But what if the United States chose to takethe oil by force, instead of paying exorbitant amounts? - He asked the newspaper.
The paper goes on : "In 2004, the British revealed documents have been declassified that the United States has taken into account the military seizure of the oil in the Middle East option. But despite the lack of a male and a clear military plan, but the documents show that the British commanders were worried because of the conversation between James has Hlpsongr, US Secretary of Defense and the Evelyn Baring, the British ambassador to the United States of America. "
According to the documents Schlesinger to Cromer said " I do not understand why the US can not use force !. Vahdy strange results on the Middle East crisis that industrialized countries are subject to the wishes of a few developing countries , thepopulation, and in particular the Middle East, "he said , adding, that the use of force may change the public opinion about theuse of force available to the United States of America and its allies.
It was Edward Heath, British Prime Minister worried enough, because of the word harsh Schlesinger, as well as hints ofmilitary action from the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; that made him order the British intelligence, an assessment of theintentions of the United States, the report concluded British intentions of the United States of America . " may take into accountthe inability to tolerate a situation in which she and their allies at the mercy of a small group of irrational countries, we believe that the United States would prefer to do a quick process led by herself in order to seize the oil fields .. where will the force required for the initial process consisting of two brigades, one of Saudi Arabia, and the other of Kuwait, and possibly theallocation of the third brigade to the UAE. "
He said the British intentions report: " the construction will require the presence of a large US naval power in the Indian Ocean, is much larger than the existing forces .. and after major attacks, will be transferred to two divisions" additional flownin from the United States. "
The Joint Intelligence Committee British perform calculations, and noted that the acquisition of oil fields , a total of 28 billion tons of oil reserves would be enough to supply the United States and its allies, but the report warned that " it will be for America to continue the occupation for ten years, while the West to develop sources alternative energy; what will lead to a"total isolation" of the Arabs and the majority of third world countries from the world. " he also expressed analysts British concern about rose Soviet Union once did, but they have concluded that it is likely to be Moscow 's response to the style propaganda shape instead of force.
It was unlikely that the United States faces , while the seizure of oil wells minor problems, he just got out of Vietnam , which was possible to reinforce the divisions in the ranks of American troops about the war in the Middle East, at a time when it was still the preserve of the military forces to counter any attacks from the Soviet Union against Europe.
In 1973, Saudi Arabia lacked Arababh to all the necessary American weapons, advanced European Ktairat F - 15, early warning and control system AWACS, which has managed the oil money than buying later.
The report reduces the ability of the countries mentioned today , saying: "common doubts about the ability of Saudi Arabia to use such sophisticated weapons, as it was with Kuwait , while he could not stand up to Saddam Hussein 's invasion of thecountry in 1990". The report is supposed contrast to those countries was not in a position to also stop the US forces in 1973.
But in the end, the United States and the world did not do anything except spend more money to get the oil.
Matter of fact, that the ban on the oil market came at the worst of times, it was the US oil production in decline since 1970, and the inflation rate at the peak height and was President Nixon in the saddest moments, following the "Watergate" scandal, not tomention the American withdrawal from Vietnam, where it was Mtkhana military defeats, and the last thing it wants theAmerican people is another war, was a long - term occupation, to the Middle East that calls the scenario that happened in thesixties of the last century.
If the American forces to invade the oil resources in the Arab region, it would be unlikely to do so alone, since the United Kingdom has not shown any desire to do so, and will be limited reaction forces , "NATO" allies of the United States, with theexception of Portugal, a ban on airline and recharge jet fuel US carrying equipment and supplies to Israel during the "October war" and will be the third , which is still struggling to break free from the burdens of the colonial world, it could hardly do anything.
The fact, that the only country that could not be upset by this matter is Iran, which was the biggest ally of the United States at the time.
Inevitably, the Saudi invasion , which was proposed in 1973 , the scenario used after thirty years, and that the invasion of Iraq in 2003, but the sweep conditions were completely different: "owned by Saudi Arabia at the time the majority of the population, less than Iraq and was the invasion of regime change in Iraq targets, Contrary to seize the natural resources in Saudi Arabia. "
The paper concludes her report by saying: "In the end, as has happened in Iraq, the remaining question is: What do you do with a piece of land after Astellaik them? Was it a permanent occupation to transmit the Saudi oil wells, to Guantánamo Bay else? Or do you just would oilfields that reduced the price of a barrel of OPEC, where it will not succeed unless Mtcderh relations between the world and among the top exporters of oil? The best solution is a solution at hand today, you'll find a new source of energy to distance you from dependence on foreign oil , ".anthy (1)
