Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has declared the end to the country's war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group.

On Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared the defeat of ISIS in Mosul, the second-largest city in Iraq and the place where three years ago the terror group first announced its self-styled caliphate.

On the surface it looks like the terrorist war that the GCC (*) sponsored with the support approval and organizational cooperation of the FUKUS alliance (France, United Kingdom & United States) has ended. In fact it has not as many pundits and media commentators tell us. What they aren't telling us with any clarity is that the reasons for its continuation are rather nebulous. It has something to do with corporate profits for defense contractors. War is, after all, good for business.
With the bulk of the fighting over, isn't it logical to return US troops and equipment to our shores? One would think so, but that isn't the plan as evidenced by continued presence and US meddling in the Middle East power structure specifically with regard to Syria.
According to the Brookings Institute as well as other legitimate sources, the Syrian conflict is, for all intents and purposes, concluded. Yet the United States is still there with American troops on the ground inside Syria. Fighting for what, one might ask? I submit to the reader that the American presence in Syria is and always has been to provide a black hole for military expenditures. There is no good reason for our involvement in what was basically a Muslim civil war (which we started). Yet we continue.
Let it not be forgotten that wherever American troops set their boots they usually remain for the foreseeable future. Why? It has nothing to do with freedom or terrorism and everything to do with defense spending and lucrative corporate contracts with appropriately humbled locals.
Do our troops obtain riches for going in harm's way? They do not, but the sponsors of our military adventures do. It is time to call a halt to endless war and the unjust carnage wrought upon innocent victims of our aggression. Americans need to work on American problems in America and halt our government's insinuation into the affairs of others.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft....
