Films and Commentary from Saul Landau

Vice Chair of the Institute for Policy Studies Saul Landau says keeping U.S. troops in Iraq would lead to "a constant spark of irritation for the people who just don't want invaders."

Landau told Press TV's U.S. Desk on Wednesday that the U.S. presence in Iraq "is a permanent irritant as it would be in any country when you have a foreign occupying army. So the best thing the United States can do is just get out and get out quickly."

Landau said, "When you send in a massive technologically superior army and wipe out the institutions that held this country together, you are going to create a disintegration."

It's very clear that the winners are the billionaires, the oil companies and the other large corporations, who are really going to get at least the same, if not more, than they were before. 

The losers of course are the majority of the American public, and it's not just that they are losers in the sense that they are going to be paying more, way more, than their fair share. 

It's that they're losers in another way. Its' become quite clear that they are the only people in this country that don't have a lobby. 

Every single special interest group has a very good lobby that gets what it wants, but the American public has none and it doesn't get what it wants and needs.
