Political activist Noam Chomsky says that although President Obama views the Iraq invasion merely as � ���"a mistake� �� � or � ���"strategic blunder,� �� � it is, in fact, a � ���"major crime� �� � designed to enable America to control the Middle East oil reserves.
� ���"It's (� ���"strategic blunder� �� �) probably what the German general staff was telling Hitler after Stalingrad,� �� � Chomsky quipped, referring to the big Nazi defeat by the Soviet army in 1943.
� ���"There is basically no significant change in the fundamental traditional conception that if we can control Middle East energy resources, then we can control the world,� �� � he said.
In a lecture at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London Oct. 27th, Chomsky warned against expecting significant foreign policy changes from Obama, according to a report by Mamoon Alabbasi published on MWC News.net. Alabbasi is an editor at Middle East Online.
