Leading Iraqis Get PracticalPosted on Oct 8, 2007If one were to ask President Bush to make sense of his strategy in Iraq, he would likely suggest that by providing stability, the Iraqi government could work toward reconciliation and an end to sectarian bloodletting, but according to several key Iraqi leaders, that just isn’t going to happen. Better, they argue, to focus on the basics of governing and providing services that Iraqis continue to suffer without.

Sadly, the Oil Companies have already wormed their way into part of Iraq, the Kurd controlled area. They got tired of waiting on the Shrub to ‘pacify’ the region and went in on their own, which kinda irked Shrub at the time.
Report thisHe seems to have gotten over that as no more has been said.
It is a damned shame that so many troops had to be killed and maimed, not to mention the Iraqi civilian’s who suffered as well, just so Shrub and the Shootist could offer up Iraqi oil to their oil patch buddies.
An even worse shame is that Congress is bound and determined to let them get away with this miscarriage.

Just another reason why American soldiers and contractors do not belong in this country. Face it Dicky boy, you’re not going to get your greedy mits on this oil, not in your lifetime anyway. Seems to me the Iraqis have plenty of brain power to go about rebuilding their country on their own. We need to butt out. No bases, no embassy, and especially no contractors and NO MONEY. They can generate their own money with their own oil to rebuild. These people will find their own way…..
