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.
