Gary Vogler is a retired US oil executive and served as the senior oil advisor to General Jay Gardner and Paul Bremer after the 2003 Iraq War.

Probably my favorite AE thread, because what the US has done to Iraq since losing the Shah doesn’t compute under the classical imperialist paradigm, zionism is the missing catalyst. And in the core we’d never know without tapping into folks closer to the belly of the beast. Maybe history exonerates them, maybe not, not our place to decide. If that happens at all it’ll be at least a century from now when the chicanery has sufficiently withered enough for the Chinese to codify the definitive history of how America dropped the bag big time as global hegemon.

Among interviews with people other than the regulars this one and the session with Patrick Lawrence stood out for me, the latter being especially stimulating from a conversational point of view.
