#2 Does the empty suit want Iraq to go down the drain so he can critize Bush?

Too bad, a pro US government with a vast pool of oil would be a nice resource to have in the middle east.

We sorta left them at the altar since Obambi took office. We could have done some good for the ME as a whole with some coherent policy in Iraq. As it is, it's just Teheran west now and becoming less friendly all the time.

On the other hand, with their huge wad of cash from oil sales, and their desire for some large scale public works projects for housing, utility infrastructure, and transportation, we could have gained some ground with our own fiscal woes from the trade.

#3 While I don't disagree Bill I think Bush was f***ing it up from the beginning. He needed to set it up so that they paid their own way with the oil to us for what we had done and set up their gov't in a way that would play by the rules.
