The dangerous influence of the Gulf petrodollars

The rubble ten Shia mosques in the cities of Mosul and Tal Afar are the image of a country in pieces. The bulldozer bringing down the walls of the Shia holy places and the explosives that crumbles the walls, the symbol of sectarianism that poisons finally Iraq. As the first speech of the "new caliph" Al-Baghdadi Friday during the noon prayer at the Grand Mosque in Mosul, which showed the power that has conquered, turning to the crowd as the legitimate successor of the Prophet and promising victory over the infidels. This is Iraq today, religious melting pot, like many others in the Middle East, beliefs and orientations that in the past had been able to live together and are now the justification for the destruction of the secular foundations of Baghdad.

The seemingly unstoppable advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is the final consequence, not the cause of the dismemberment of the country. Upstream is the divisive U.S. strategy in eight years of military occupation, the dangerous influence of the Gulf petrodollars and those who bankrolled Islamist groups active in Syria and aimed at breaking the Syria-Iran axis Shiite Hezbollah, the corrupt nepotism that rule by the rise to power of Shiite Prime Minister Maliki in 2006.

Today the process that disrupts the delicate internal balance in the Middle East is - once again - in its most precious treasures. Since the beginning of June, when the Isil has occupied Mosul and the first Iraqi province, Ninawa, to date the control of the crude means and end. The determination of the power passing through the strategic ownership of oil wells. Well aware of the Kurds, are well aware of the Sunni militiamen. In the far north of Iraq, the autonomous region of Kurdistan is unofficially credited with the car you are searching for independence for decades, occupying the oil fields in the rich province of Kirkuk crude oil and selling abroad, Turkey and Israel. The provinces in the hands of the jihadists - Anbar, Ninawa, Diyala and Salah-a-din - are part of the militia to control Banjij, the main refinery in the country (again the scene of clashes with Iraqi military forces).

The declaration of the birth of the Islamic caliphate in Syria and Iraq last week, by the leader of Al-Baghdadi, is looming as a state founded on the Shari'a yes, but also on the oil black. A long corridor from eastern communities of Iraq reaches the western Syrian Friday the Isil took control of the field of al-Tanak, in the Syrian province of Deir al-Zour, bordering Iraq, after occupying the day before the biggest Al-Omar, always in the desert of Sheiytat. Both wells have been reclaimed from the control of another rebel group and now rival, the Frente al-Nusra Front. Now Isil points to the rich deposit of Al-Ward while the window remains the puppeteer in Riyadh that actively take advantage of the weakness of Iraq to get rid of the stiff competition in the energy sector of Baghdad and cover up the gap in the international market.

The caliphate, against whom you have thrown many Sunni armed groups and religious organizations because it is considered a blasphemy, it's just a product of the mind of the rebellious son of Al-Qaeda, Al-Baghdadi? The reality says more: the Islamic State has control of the long concrete corridor dubbed the "Islamic State", he manages the wealth and official boundaries, passing with great ease and militia weapons, without either Damascus or Baghdad may stem the advance. Strong money that would come from the coffers of Saudi Arabia copious, may ultimately lead to the division of Iraq into three parts. The offensive jihad does not seem to retreat despite the bombs dropped by aviation Syrian President Assad along the border and the small victories scored by an Iraqi army in disarray (Thursday the hometown of Saddam Hussein, Awja, is back under the control of Baghdad while Tikrit - symbol of the power of the former Libyan leader - is occupied by Islamists).

To give a hand is the split political stalemate that has embroiled the new parliament. On the ground many Sunni communities in the corridor to get to Baghdad Awja, continue to express their impatience with the Shiite government and take advantage of the debacle of the army to carry out guerrilla warfare, while the Baathist militias continue to provide crucial support to the new ally, Isil, with the intention to get rid of once torn Baghdad, the Shiites and regain power. On the political level, on Friday, Prime Minister Maliki has refused for the umpteenth time, the number of calls - come from both the international community and the Iraqi political class - to step aside and allow the creation of an executive of national unity: "I ​​will not surrender, not give up the nomination for prime minister - said on state television - I'll stay a soldier who defends the interests of Iraq and its people. "

This stance known, but that complicates the already difficult task of the new parliament, elected in late April and called to elect its president, responsible for the appointment of the Prime Minister. Last Tuesday, the first parliamentary session ended with a stalemate: the Kurds and Sunnis have left the classroom, and broke the quorum and preventing the vote. Upstream hostility toward Maliki of much of the Shia team. In particular, the opponent always Moqdata al-Sadr.
