#1 From my point of view, it worked better to have those countries with the strongest economic interests on the outside. The American contracts will get other countries involved and result in more bidders for Iraq on subsequent contracts. The open market should result in a burgeoning economy. I bet Japan, Korea and China compete heavily in Iraq within the next several years.

#2 Hmmm, possibly the Velvet Hammer working behind the scenes to get the job done? Maybe we threatened to go public with the Axis of Weasle's invoices for all those weapons they sold to them during sanctions.

There has to be a price to pay by the AoW for that, they can eat the costs and actually improve some infrastructure in Iraq. This might be the means.
