The 'puppet masters' want to see greater returns on their investments in fossil fuels..... In other words they want the 'war' so that they can raise the price of oil.....again. Look at the price of a barrel of oil prior to the first war in Iraq and then after and the windfall realized by the 'shareholders'.
Economic announcement today.
"Crude oil hits 26 month low, US dollar at risk of a reversal"
Of course, speculators (who are actually the ones who set the price) make money going down, and make money going up.
The big winners of war are the defense contractors, not the oil companies. Wouldn't surprise me though if they had somehow joined forces.
Our president has made a speech that we are not aware of a threat ISIS poses to the US or if any attacks on US soil are imminent. Then in his best Bush imitation, drops the "evil", poll numbers go up in support of the war and voila, we are at war dropping bombs FOR the people we wanted to drop bombs AGAINST this time last year.
The same people who were supporting "dropping strategic bombs" against Assad are now supporting "dropping strategic bombs" for Assad. It's amazing.
