The plan was articulated without the permission or agreement of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki or the Iraqi parliament. Many within the Obama administration and the military pushed for tens of thousands of troops to remain, and congressional hawks <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/07\/congressional-hawks-push-for-even-bigger-2012-iraq-force\/\" target=\"_blank\">dismissed the plan outright<\/a>, arguing for a minimum of 10,000. <\/p>\n<p>But despite hawkish concerns that Obama is drawing down prematurely, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/07\/iraq-drawdown-signals-new-client-state-status-ongoing-occupation\/\" target=\"_blank\">signs are<\/a> that U.S. imperial objectives have been achieved, and national security planners are ready for Iraq to take its place as just another Middle Eastern client state and retire from being a war zone. While the U.S. military contingent may only be 4,000, a mercenary army of perhaps 6,000 will remain in addition to a State Department and civilian contractor outfit of 17,000 strong. The political, military, and economic elements of U.S. influence are set in place for the long term. <\/p>\n<p>In other news, the cables released by WikiLeaks have continued to provide revelations about U.S. policy toward Iraq. A <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/04\/us-blackwater-guards-stayed-in-iraq-despite-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\">set of cables described<\/a> how the mercenary army Blackwater Inc. remained in Iraq after being banned from the country over a 2007 massacre of civilians. <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/06\/state-department-warned-in-2002-vatican-would-oppose-attack-on-iraq\/\" target=\"_blank\">Another cable details<\/a> a 2002 meeting of U.S. diplomats and Vatican representatives, which warned that the Vatican would publicly condemn any U.S. military action in Iraq, revealing how certain the diplomatic community viewed a U.S. attack even back in 2002. <\/p>\n<p><b>Libyan civil war is far from over<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Libyan civil war is far from over, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/08\/libyan-rebel-pm-civil-war-not-over\/\" target=\"_blank\">explained<\/a> rebel Prime Minister Mahmoud Jabril after encouraging discordant rebel factions to join together to defeat Gadhafi remnants and secure the Transitional National Council\u2019s power in Libya.

It takes approximately $6 billion a year \u2014 more than three times the Kabul government\u2019s annual income \u2014 to sustain these assets. And the U.S. is unprepared to cover that cost.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, conditions in Afghanistan fail to improve. NATO agreed this week, following recommendations from the United Nations, to <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/06\/nato-ends-detainee-transfers-to-afghan-govt-over-torture-evidence\/\" target=\"_blank\">end detainee transfers to Afghan prisons<\/a> because of evidence of torture. Afghan officials <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/07\/afghan-officials-reject-un-report-exposing-torture\/\" target=\"_blank\">vehemently rejected the U.N. findings<\/a> \u2014 which detailed beatings with rubber hoses, electric shock treatment, and sexual assault \u2014 and alleged political sabotage. NATO also admitted to <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/08\/nato-admits-killing-bbc-journalist\/\" target=\"_blank\">killing an Afghan journalist<\/a>, a serious crime for which no one is expected to be held accountable. <\/p>\n<p><b>A decade of error<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Authorities have been <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/05\/authorities-issue-911-anniversary-warnings\/\" target=\"_blank\">warning of new terrorist attacks<\/a> to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks, despite their downplaying of the strength of al-Qaeda and related groups.

The vast majority of the 9\/11 Commission Report <a href=\"http:\/\/news.antiwar.com\/2011\/09\/08\/most-of-911-commission-report-still-classified\/\" target=\"_blank\">remains sealed in the National Archives<\/a>, despite recommendations from the commissioners that it be released entirely.
